The Wyoming Stablecoin Committee has migrated its issued Frontier Stable Token (FRNT) from LayerZero to Chainlink's cross-chain interoperability protocol CCIP, and will completely discontinue the LayerZero token implementation after completing a comprehensive security review. CCIP will serve as the sole cross-chain infrastructure for FRNT under a multi-year contract. This is the first time a U.S. government entity has publicly changed blockchain infrastructure for security reasons, and FRNT is currently the only stablecoin issued by a U.S. public institution, fully backed by fiat reserves, with reserve earnings used to support the state's school foundation projects. The token has been deployed on chains such as Ethereum, Base, and Avalanche, with a current market cap of less than $1 million.This decision was announced four months after the Kelp DAO bridge based on LayerZero was attacked, resulting in the theft of approximately 116,500 rsETH (worth about $292 million at the time), an incident that triggered a wave of industry security reviews and migrations. To date, nearly $15 billion in related assets have migrated from LayerZero to Chainlink, with early movers including Kelp, Solv Protocol, Re, and Kraken. Subsequently, BitGo chose CCIP and completed a migration of approximately $7.7 billion in wrapped Bitcoin, bringing the total to the current level. According to a case study by LayerZero in January of this year, Wyoming had previously operated its own decentralized validation network and controlled validation and compliance functions.

Bank Reg Blog responded that no direct impact is expected; the bank does indeed have a regular master account, but this transaction is being conducted in Sethi's personal capacity, rather than Kraken owning the bank.

According to public data disclosure, Wyoming has purchased shares of the Bitcoin reserve company Strive Inc. (ASST), becoming one of the few U.S. state governments to directly allocate related assets.Documents show that as of December 31, 2025, Wyoming holds 151,595 shares of Strive Class A common stock, valued at approximately $111,000. Strive was co-founded by Vivek Ramaswamy and focuses on a "Bitcoin reserve company" strategy. As of early 2026, it held approximately 13,132 bitcoins, valued at about $946 million at current prices, ranking among the top global corporate Bitcoin holdings. Strive implemented a 1:20 reverse stock split on February 6, 2026, so Wyoming's shareholding was adjusted to approximately 7,580 shares (originally 151,595 shares). This adjustment only changes the number of shares and does not affect the actual value of the holdings. Although the scale of the holdings is relatively small, this move is seen as symbolically significant, reflecting Wyoming's ongoing policy stance in promoting Bitcoin and crypto innovation.Market data shows that Strive's stock price closed at $9.62 on March 4, up 15.49% on that day.
