Senator Cynthia Lummis called the milestoneย a meaningful step toward sending the bill to the presidentโs desk, saying she looks forward to continued bipartisan work to position the US as the global hub for digital assets.
Great to see digital asset market structure pass @SenateAgGOP. We are one step closer to getting this legislation to @POTUSโ desk, and I look forward to continuing to work closely with my colleagues across the aisle to make America the digital asset capital of the world.
