A key political supporter of the crypto industry just made a major announcement. Senator Cynthia Lummis from Wyoming, known for championing blockchain and digital asset policies, revealed that she won't seek re-election and will step down at the end of her term in early 2027.

This move signals a potential shift in the political landscape for cryptocurrency advocacy on Capitol Hill. Lummis has been one of the few prominent voices consistently pushing for pro-innovation crypto legislation and regulatory clarity in the Senate. Her retirement raises questions about who will fill this crucial role in supporting the industry's legislative agenda going forward.
