WASHINGTON — Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives tried and failed to override President Joe Biden’s veto of a resolution which would have rolled back an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) water rule seen as a keystone of his administration’s climate agenda.

Over the years, the State of Wyoming has sued the federal government over everything from restrictions on oil and gas production to vaccine mandates to wolves. But Wyoming officials recently headed to federal court over something different: To push back against what it sees as a federal attack on the state’s crypto-friendly banking laws.

As the State of Wyoming prepares to launch its own cryptocurrency, Gov. Mark Gordon finds the effort somewhat ironic.

Having strived for years to be a leader in the world of cryptocurrencies and digital assets, Wyoming is now preparing to take its boldest action yet: issuing its own digital version of a dollar bill.
