U.S. Sen. Cynthia Lummis praises Wyoming policy wins, discusses digital assets and industry growth

U.S. Sen. Cynthia Lummis returned to the Wyoming Senate floor on Feb. 16 to thank state lawmakers and to recount federal work tied to state policy. She credited state-crafted digital-asset statutes, highlighted efforts to secure Federal Reserve access for digital-asset companies, and described energy and workforce developments she said will help keep Wyoming graduates in-state.

Lummis noted the state'level legal groundwork that, she said, has positioned Wyoming as a leader in digital-asset market structure and stablecoin governance. "The Genius Act is the law of the land that governs stablecoins," she told the chamber, and credited staff and former state staffers for drafting the legislation.

Speaking about private-sector engagements, Lummis said, as recorded on the floor, that "Kraken has decided to fund for every single child born in Wyoming in the year 2026, a Trump account." The phrase and program name appear in the transcript as stated on the floor. She also described a bipartisan effort on an education trust modernization bill intended to provide greater flexibility for investing permanent school land funds.

Lummis closed by thanking staff and local supporters and by expressing pride in the state'federal partnership she described as delivering jobs and federal attention to Wyoming projects.

Outcome and context: Lummis's floor remarks were ceremonial and informational; no formal action was taken in response during the morning session.
