Stablecoins are a $260 billion class of cryptocurrencies with prices tied to an external asset like the U.S. dollar. They could become a trillion dollar market in the next few years and disrupt payments flows as adoption in the real economy expands, crypto trading firm Keyrock projected in a recent report.
Wyoming, known for its forward stance on blockchain legislation, created the Wyoming Stable Token Commission in 2023 to develop and issue a U.S. dollar-backed token and oversee its integration into public finances. Last month, the state conducted a test transaction for real-time government contractor payment on the Avalanche-based Hashfire.
The Commission has partnered with LayerZero for token issuance, Fireblocks for blockchain infrastructure, Franklin Advisers for reserves management, Inca Digital for open-source intelligence and The Network Firm for audits and monthly attestations, all selected through a procurement process, the press release said.
