Summary:
Wyoming is making a play for the nascent digital asset custody industry to locate in Wyoming in much the same way that South Dakota and Utah did for credit cards companies and industrial loan companies with their passing of laws in the 1970s and 1980s.

The likes of Cardano have already made their move to Wyoming after MarkGordon, incoming 33rd Governor of Wyoming, praised the potential of blockchain.

Caitlin Long, a volunteer and cofounder of the Wyoming Blockchain Coalition, who has been working alongside some of the legislators and senators, including Wyoming State Representative, Tyler Lindholm, Senator Ogden Driskill, andSenator Tara Nethercott, to get this bill through, explains why Wyoming is agood place for blockchain and crypto to get a legislative foothold in the United States.
