Senator Cynthia Lummis Reinforces Support for Crypto Market Structure Legislation
Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) has reaffirmed her commitment to bipartisan digital asset market structure legislation, emphasizing its role in fostering innovation while combating illicit finance. Her December 30, 2025 statement underscores the bill's dual focus: protecting Americans and enabling public-private partnerships to address financial crime.
The proposed framework, developed alongside Senate Banking Chairman Tim Scott (R-SC) and other lawmakers, prioritizes pro-innovation rules, consumer safeguards, and recognition of tokenization as a transformative financial evolution. Central to the effort are compliance mandates for centralized intermediaries and anti-money laundering measures designed to legitimize the crypto sector.
