Sen. Cynthia Lummis said debate over the CLARITY Act, a digital-asset market structure bill, marks an important turning point in strengthening US leadership in financial innovation.
In a post on X on May 12, Lummis wrote that it was "an important week for digital assets." After nearly a year of bipartisan cooperation, the markup of the CLARITY Act has moved the US one step closer to becoming a global center for financial innovation, she said.
The renewed push in Congress to debate the CLARITY Act and stablecoin regulation has fueled expectations that digital assets could move further into the US regulatory mainstream.
"Wyoming showed the way first, and now Washington is following," she added.
Wyoming is regarded as one of the most digital-asset-friendly states in the US, having actively advanced policies and legal frameworks related to digital assets, DAOs and stablecoins.
