According to a report by Cointelegraph on December 23, Wyoming Congresswoman Harriet Hageman recently released a mysterious video titled “Soon”(, triggering speculation about her potential candidacy for the Senate seat in 2026. Previously, incumbent Senator Cynthia Lummis announced that she would not seek re-election. As a staunch supporter of the Crypto Assets industry, Lummis has advanced several pieces of Blockchain legislation, including the Responsible Financial Innovation Act, and her departure will leave the Crypto industry without an important ally. Although Hageman has not yet made digital assets a core focus, she has gained the support of Caitlin Long, a major proponent of Blockchain legislation in Wyoming. The 2026 elections will test whether the state can maintain its position as a Senate advocate for Crypto Assets.
