Wyoming is advancing its pioneering stablecoin, the Wyoming Stable Token (WYST), by integrating Inca Digital's real-time surveillance technology. This collaboration aims to enhance compliance and transparency, setting a new benchmark for government-issued digital currencies. Scheduled for launch in July 2025, WYST is being tested on multiple blockchains, including Avalanche, Solana, and Ethereum .
The stablecoin is designed to be fully backed by U.S. Treasuries, cash, and repurchase agreements, ensuring a 1:1 peg to the U.S. dollar. The income generated from these investments will be utilized to fund public services, infrastructure, and education, aligning with Wyoming's commitment to public benefit .
Inca Digital's involvement introduces advanced surveillance capabilities, allowing for real-time monitoring of blockchain transactions. This integration aims to address concerns related to illicit activities and ensure adherence to regulatory standards, fostering trust in the state's digital currency initiative .
As federal authorities, including the Federal Reserve and the Securities and Exchange Commission, approach the establishment of a legal framework for stablecoins, Wyoming's proactive measures position it at the forefront of digital currency innovation in the United States.
