One prediction market prices this story:
- Yes — the market puts it at 8%, closing 1 Apr 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Wyoming passes a law giving a state entity the legal power to manage government digital assets other than stable tokens before April 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about Google for the actual trigger, but only enacted Wyoming legislation counts.
