United States Senator Cynthia Lummis has said her efforts to push for a positive crypto regulatory framework are still in motion, with the rapid evolution and increasing adoption of cryptocurrencies adding to its urgency.
Lummis received praise from Crypto Twitter as she shared her commitment to developing a regulatory framework to facilitate digital asset ownership and trading within the United States. Her tweet serves as a reminder of the anticipated bill that was supposed to be released in April.
In collaboration with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Lummis has been engaged in a bipartisan initiative to propose extensive regulations for cryptocurrencies. The upcoming legislative effort is anticipated to make significant progress in Congress this year, providing a crucial framework for the rapidly evolving digital asset industry.

Stay tuned…
