Wyoming Advances State Stablecoin as LayerZero Sees $15 Billion Exodus
Wyoming is moving forward with a state-backed stablecoin initiative while some projects have shifted away from LayerZero infrastructure, totaling around $15 billion in related activity. The state has been a pioneer in crypto-friendly legislation.
The development reflects ongoing experimentation by U.S. states in issuing or supporting digital dollars. LayerZero, a cross-chain messaging protocol, has seen some users migrate as the market evolves.
Analysts are watching how state-level efforts interact with federal stablecoin rules.
