Wyoming's $FRNT Stable Token: A State-Backed Alternative to CBDCs
Wyoming has introduced the Frontier Stable Token ($FRNT), a dollar-redeemable stable token overseen by the Wyoming Stable Token Commission. This initiative is positioned as a public utility, aiming for transparent money movement and faster settlement. Wyoming has also passed HB0264, a law prohibiting state agencies from accepting central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). The Commission emphasizes that $FRNT is fully reserved, governed by state statute, and separate from any Federal Reserve-issued digital money. Governance of $FRNT involves public forums and monthly meetings, contrasting with typical crypto governance models. The token can be used for any lawful purpose, with interventions based on lawful directives.
