# Government-Issued Cryptocurrencies Wyoming Created a State-Issued Stablecoin for Currency By Colin Smith | Published 2025-08-20 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frontier-stable-token References: [gizmodo](https://gizmodo.com/wyoming-launches-the-first-state-issued-stablecoin-2000645074) & [stabletoken.wyo.gov](https://stabletoken.wyo.gov/)  In August 2025, Wyoming became the first U.S. state to issue its own government-backed stablecoin, the Frontier Stable Token (FRNT). The token is fully reserved with cash and short-duration U.S. Treasuries, meeting a legislatively mandated minimum overcollateralization rate of 102 percent. FRNT launched concurrently on seven blockchains—Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base—leveraging LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token standard to enable native cross-chain interoperability without wrapped assets. All smart contracts are publicly accessible to ensure transparency, and the design prioritizes near-instant settlement and low transaction fees for both retail and institutional users. Governance and issuance of FRNT fall under the [Wyoming Stable Token Commission](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-bourbons), created by the 2023 Wyoming Stable Token Act. Interest yields from the reserve assets are directed quarterly to the [Wyoming School Foundation Fund](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-parks-no-5) to support public education rather than private shareholders. FRNT will be distributed through authorized resellers that complete “Know Your Business” reviews, including the Wyoming-domiciled Kraken exchange on [Solana and Rain’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mint-a-vote) Visa-integrated card platform on Avalanche. State officials emphasize that FRNT operates under state sovereignty and is structured as a constitutionally protected public asset rather than a central bank digital currency, with statutory oversight intended to enhance the efficiency of government payments and financial services.
