Following a review of possible networks by the Wyoming Stable Token Commission, the regulator responsible for issuing the stablecoin, selected and approved the Hedera blockchain for FRNT’s mainnet launch.
According to Anthony Apollo, the executive director of the Wyoming Stable Token Commission, the body chose Hedera because its technology aligns with their focus on security and compliance.
After its August launch, the stablecoin went live on seven blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Polygon, Optimism, and Base, but users still can’t buy it.
