After years of research, the Wyoming Stable Token Commission has unveiled the mainnet launch of its first official state-backed stablecoin. The so-called Frontier Stable Token (FRNT), marking the first time a U.S. state has issued a blockchain-based, fiat-pegged token meant to be used by retail and enterprises alike, according to an announcement on Tuesday.

    The Frontier Stable Token is overcollateralized by cash and short-term U.S. Treasurys, holding a minimum reserve of 102% to ensure stability at Franklin Advisers.

    Wonder how long this will last until we start the fracturing of US currency at the state level again. That’d get pretty turbulent.
