Senator Lummis Advocates for U.S. Leadership in Digital Assets
U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis has reiterated her stance that digital assets represent the future of finance, warning that the U.S. must either embrace them or risk falling behind. Her comments align with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s recent assertion that the country should position itself as the premier destination for digital asset innovation.
Lummis emphasized the need for regulatory clarity, particularly regarding SEC restrictions on digital asset ETP staking. She argued that current limitations hinder U.S. asset managers’ competitiveness in global markets. The senator’s push reflects growing institutional recognition of crypto’s transformative potential in traditional finance.
