Wyoming to Launch U.S.'s First Public Entity-Backed Stablecoin in 2025 – cover image

The Wyoming Stable Token Commission is preparing to launch the Wyoming Stable Token (WYST), the first fiat-backed, fully-reserved stablecoin issued by a public entity in the United States. Established under the Wyoming Stable Token Act in March 2023, this initiative is backed by a $5.8 million budget aimed at bringing WYST to market by mid-2025.

Anthony Apollo, Executive Director of the Wyoming Stable Token Commission, confirmed active interest from more than 730 individuals and 360 organizations in the development of WYST. The stablecoin will be backed by interest-bearing U.S. Treasury securities, with all generated interest income benefitting the Wyoming School Foundation Program, ensuring that the project supports education funding in the state.

The team targets a testnet launch as early as March 2025, paving the way for domestic and international usage. Importantly, WYST is designed to be integrated with decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, broadening the reach and utility of public-entity-backed stablecoins in global crypto markets.

For users looking to explore various crypto options, platforms like Bitlet.app offer innovative services including Crypto Installment plans, allowing you to buy cryptocurrencies now and pay over time. This makes diving into crypto more accessible and manageable for many.

Stay tuned as Wyoming sets a precedent with WYST, pioneering a new level of trust and backing in the stablecoin market.
