U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis, a friend of the crypto community, will leave office after her term ends in 2027

U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis has announced that she will not seek re-election, with her term ending in January 2027. As the chair of the Senate Banking Committee's Digital Assets Subcommittee, she has been actively involved in legislative efforts regarding cryptocurrency regulation at the congressional level, collaborating with Kirsten Gillibrand to promote the establishment of a regulatory framework for digital assets that clarifies the regulatory roles of agencies such as the U.S. SEC and CFTC. The related legislation is currently progressing through the Senate Banking Committee and the Agriculture Committee, and will need to be voted on by the full Senate and reconciled with the House version.
