## Source summary

PYMNTS, citing Bloomberg's interview with N3XT founder Scott Shay, reports that Wyoming regulators approved the bank to let customers use its digital token with foreign counterparties. N3XT says the service is intended to support instant overseas transfers to both customers and non-customers, backed by dollar deposits held in cash or short-term securities. The bank planned to announce the service on August 18.

## Why it matters

A regulated bank token backed by liquid dollar assets could reduce operating-hour and prefunding friction in cross-border B2B transfers. The verified stage is regulatory approval and a planned announcement, not demonstrated production scale; supported countries, currencies, counterparties, fees, compliance workflow, transaction volume and achieved settlement time are not disclosed.
