$FRNT, Avalanche, and Rain Bring First State-Issued Stablecoin to Everyday Spending
Avalanche is the launchpad for a milestone in US digital finance: the Frontier Stable Token ($FRNT), a state-issued stable token from Wyoming, is spendable through Rain’s Avalanche Card.
For years, stablecoins have promised to connect blockchain to real-world payments. $FRNT, issued under the oversight of the Wyoming Stable Token Commission and fully backed by U.S. dollars and short-term Treasuries, is now available on Avalanche. Through Rain’s Avalanche Card, users can spend $FRNT instantly anywhere Visa is accepted: in-store, online, or through Apple Pay and Google Pay.

From Policy to Real-World Utility
The Frontier Stable Token’s origins trace back to the Wyoming Stable Token (WYST), first introduced as the nation’s pioneering state-backed stablecoin. While WYST represented the policy and pilot stage, $FRNT marks its evolution into a live digital dollar with direct consumer use cases.
$FRNT is fully reserved and governed by statute. Each token is backed 1:1, with reserves managed transparently under Wyoming law. The structure positions the Frontier Stable Token as a model for public finance in the digital era.
Why Avalanche
Avalanche was chosen for the launch because of its speed, scalability, and record with institutional partners. By integrating $FRNT directly into the Avalanche ecosystem, Wyoming’s stablecoin advances from a legislative idea into a live financial instrument that users can transact with immediately.
Spending $FRNT with Rain
The collaboration with Rain is what brings $FRNT into everyday life. Rain enables the Frontier Stable Token to be spent like cash for those who hold or are eligible for the Avalanche Card. By connecting FRNT to Visa’s global payments network, Rain makes the token useful at checkout, whether for coffee, shopping online, or tapping a phone at the counter.
Avalanche becomes the first blockchain to host a U.S. state-issued stablecoin with real-world payment rails. This sets a precedent for how digital assets can work within existing financial infrastructure.
A Blueprint for the Future
$FRNT’s launch signals a new phase for stablecoins. It is rooted in transparency, regulatory clarity, and consumer access. Wyoming’s regulatory framework, Avalanche’s blockchain infrastructure, and Rain’s payment technology work together to show how governments, financial institutions, and blockchain networks can align.
What began as a state initiative in Wyoming is now a spendable digital dollar, live today on Avalanche.
