The Wyoming Senate race heats up: Hageman releases a "coming soon" video, and the focus shifts to the encryption-friendly seat.
Recently, there has been a new development in Wyoming politics. Representative Harriet Hageman released a five-second video shortly after Senator Cynthia Lummis confirmed her resignation, featuring only the word "Soon" next to her avatar. This move quickly broke the months of silence on her social media account and is seen by outsiders as a strong signal that she may run for the Wyoming Senate seat in 2026.
Lummis has long been regarded as one of the staunchest supporters of cryptocurrency in the U.S. Congress. She has played a key role in advancing legislation on crypto market structure, regulatory frameworks for stablecoins, and banking access for digital asset companies, and has co-sponsored important proposals such as the Responsible Financial Innovation Act. As she nears retirement, the digital asset industry may lose a highly influential ally in the Senate.
