US Senator Cynthia Lummis, a prominent Republican from Wyoming and a staunch advocate for cryptocurrency regulation, revealed on December 19, 2025, that she will not seek reelection in 2026. Her term will conclude in early 2027, marking the end of a significant chapter in digital asset policy advocacy.

Lummis cited the exhausting demands of Senate work as the primary reason for her decision. "Deciding not to run for reelection does represent a change of heart," she stated, acknowledging the physical and mental toll of legislative duties. Her departure leaves a void in crypto policy leadership amid increasing regulatory activity in Washington.

Since her election in 2020, Lummis has been a pivotal figure in shaping digital asset legislation. As chair of the Senate Banking Subcommittee on Digital Assets, she collaborated across party lines, notably with Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, to draft comprehensive crypto market structure bills. Her efforts aimed to clarify regulatory oversight and agency jurisdiction.

Lummis also played a key role in negotiating the GENIUS Act, further cementing her legacy in the crypto space. Her exit raises questions about the future of bipartisan crypto regulation efforts.

The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
