Wyoming Political Contributions in Crypto

What is happening? Wyoming is considering accepting crypto currency for political contributions, setting the value of the contribution to the value of the crypto on the day it was contributed.

Why is this important? WY may do this by rule and not statute

How will this be important? For Wyoming, a concern is that is they don’t tie the value to the time of the contribution, “…an appreciating asset may run afoul of election contribution limits.”
