Senator Cynthia Lummis, one of the strongest Bitcoin supporters in the U.S. Congress, has announced she will not seek re-election next year.
🔸 Cynthia Lummis, representing Wyoming, stated she will retire when her term ends in 2027, acknowledging she no longer has the energy for another six years of intense work in the Senate.
🔸 Dubbed the “Bitcoin Senator,” she is one of the most powerful, stable, and influential politicians in Washington who strongly supports Bitcoin and crypto.
🔸 This year, Lummis played a key role in passing the GENIUS Act, the first major crypto law signed into law, establishing a federal legal framework for stablecoins.
🔸 She was also a central figure in negotiations for a crypto market structure bill, aimed at legalizing much of the crypto market in the U.S., but this bill remains stalled and has yet to be considered by the Senate Banking Committee. 🔸 Whether the market structure bill will become law in time is seen as the final legislative milestone in Cynthia Lummis's 18-year career in the U.S. Congress.
