Aptos, Say Selected as Official Wyoming Stablecoin Pilot Partners; Solana Dropped Out

Wyoming has selected Aptos and Sei as the final candidates for the pilot project partner for the official stablecoin project 'WYST'. In particular, Aptos ranked first in the blockchain network test evaluated by the Wyoming Stablecoin Committee, recording the highest score. The Wyoming state government recently conducted an internal evaluation of over 10 blockchain networks, during which Aptos and Sei demonstrated outstanding performance and gained the opportunity to participate in the pilot program. Aptos scored the highest with a total of 32 points, while Solana, which also received 32 points, was excluded from the final candidates. Aptos officially announced the test results on Friday, stating that the state authorities comprehensively reviewed the network's processing speed, stability, and scalability. Wyoming is preparing the WYST project with the goal of launching next year, and this pilot stage serves as an experimental operational foundation while selecting a long-term viable technical partner. Meanwhile, as former President Trump recently pledged crypto-friendly policies including stablecoins, Wyoming's pro-cryptocurrency movement is expected to significantly influence federal regulatory discussions. Wyoming has been leading blockchain enterprise and digital asset legislation for several years, and this pilot project is interpreted as an extension of the state's digital financial experiment.
