Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis, a prominent Republican voice for digital assets on Capitol Hill, announced this week that she won't pursue another term in 2026. Her statement cited a "change of heart" as the reason. The move has caught attention in crypto circles, given Lummis's consistent advocacy for Bitcoin and blockchain-friendly legislation over her tenure. Her potential exit from the Senate raises questions about future momentum for crypto-supportive policies in Congress and whether new voices will step up to champion digital asset interests. Worth watching how this reshapes the political landscape around Web3 regulation.

Now there's one less Bitcoin loyalist in the political arena, and I feel that the voice of crypto will weaken significantly after 2026.

honestly lummis stepping back hits different... been in the trenches watching network difficulty adjust for years, and losing voices like hers feels like losing hashrate right when we need it most. who's even gonna fill that seat? feel like we're heading into a harder epoch politically tbh

Wait, "change of heart"? That wording is a bit too vague... Can on-chain transfer data be checked? It feels like there might be a story of fund flows behind it.

Lummis's withdrawal is really a turning point; I was originally counting on her to be supportive in Congress.
