Task force or study body Reported
Wyoming Stable Token Commission · Status unclear
- Created by: Senate Enrolled Act 85 (Wyoming Stable Token Act), March 2023; amended by SEA 44 (2024 budget session) per the Commission site
- Organized by: State of Wyoming (statutory commission); staffed by an executive director
- Led by: Anthony Apollo, Executive Director (appointed Sept 18, 2023; per Commission website, page content dated around March 2024, so possibly outdated). Chair not stated on the page.
- Members: Governor or designee, State Auditor or designee, State Treasurer or designee, plus four subject matter experts: Flavia Naves, David Pope, Jeff Wallace, Joel Revill (as listed on the site, c. March 2024).
- Outputs and timeline: Authorized to issue a state-backed stable token. The site cites a $5.8M one-time budget approved in the 2024 budget bill, with funds available July 1, 2024. The page we read still described a March 23, 2024 meeting as upcoming, so it appears not to have been updated since; we did not find the current status or token launch details in a source we opened.

Leads not verified with a source: the Wyoming Legislature has had an interim Select Committee on Blockchain, Financial Technology and Digital Innovation Technology; the wyoleg.gov committee pages could not be accessed, so we could not confirm its current existence, co-chairs or 2025-26 activity. Needs follow-up.
Bitcoin or digital asset reserve law Confirmed
HB 0201 (2025), 'State funds-investment in Bitcoin' (sponsors incl. Reps. Wasserburger, Brown, Filer, Lucas, Singh; Sen. Smith), would have authorized investing state and permanent funds in bitcoin. The House Minerals Committee 'do pass' vote failed 1-7 on Feb 10, 2025 and the bill died in committee March 3, 2025. 2026 session reserve bills were not checked.

Licensing Confirmed
Per the 2026 kiosk act, operators must hold a license under the Wyoming Money Transmitters Act (W.S. 40-22-101 through 40-22-129) or be a chartered financial institution under Title 13; the banking commissioner makes rules. The general treatment of virtual currency under the Money Transmitters Act (and Wyoming's separate digital-asset statutes) was not researched.

Crypto kiosks (ATMs) Confirmed
HB 0075 'Virtual currency kiosks' was enacted as HEA 0019 (Chapter 60, 2026 Session Laws); passed House 56-5-1 and Senate 30-1, signed by the Governor March 6, 2026, and takes effect July 1, 2026 for operators. It requires kiosk operators to hold a money transmitter license or financial institution charter and directs the banking commissioner to adopt rules; it defines new and existing users and applies to publicly accessible kiosks. The digest notes a House amendment for a 24-48 hour waiting period failed and a felony-penalty proposal was withdrawn. The introduced and engrossed text summaries we read disagree on whether unlicensed operation is a misdemeanor or felony and show no dollar transaction limits, so penalty and any caps should be checked against the enrolled act.

Other 2025 to 2026 actions
- 2023-03 (amendments March 2024): Wyoming Stable Token Act (SEA 85, 2023) created the Stable Token Commission to issue a state-backed stable token; 2024 amendments allowed competitive procurement and a $5.8M budget was approved. Commission site content appears dated.
Sources: Wyoming Stable Token Commission
Source notes: Stable Token Commission page content appears to be from about March 2024. Other 2025-2026 Wyoming actions (DAO/digital asset statutes, FRNT launch, tax or mining items) were not researched or sourced. Penalty language for the kiosk act is inconsistent across the text versions we read.
