According to ChainCatcher, Cointelegraph reported that Wyoming Representative Harriet Hageman recently released a mysterious video titled "Soon" (coming soon), sparking speculation about her potential candidacy for the Senate seat in 2026. Previously, current Senator Cynthia Lummis announced she would not seek re-election. As a staunch supporter of the cryptocurrency industry, Lummis had championed several blockchain legislations, including the Responsible Financial Innovation Act, and her departure will mean a significant loss for the crypto industry.
Although Hageman has not yet made digital assets a core focus, she has gained the support of Caitlin Long, a key proponent of blockchain law in Wyoming. The 2026 election will test whether the state continues to maintain its position as a Senate cryptocurrency advocate.
