Senator Cynthia Lummis announced her retirement on December 19, deciding not to seek re-election in 2026. Lummis, a prominent advocate for cryptocurrency in the Senate, has been instrumental in promoting pro-crypto legislation such as the BITCOIN Act and the GENIUS Act, which clarified stablecoin regulations. Wyoming Representative Harriet Hageman is expected to run for Lummis's Senate seat, with her team indicating a decision is forthcoming. Hageman, who supports crypto-friendly legislation including the BITCOIN Act and Anti-CBDC bills, aligns closely with Lummis's views. Her potential candidacy suggests a continuation of pro-crypto policies in Wyoming.
