United States: Cynthia Lummis, Chair of the Subcommittee on Digital Assets
The subcommittee, chaired by Cynthia Lummis, will focus on two main areas: the adoption of bipartisan legislation promoting responsible innovation and consumer protection, as well as the rigorous supervision of federal financial regulators. Additionally, Lummis emphasized the need to quickly pass laws establishing a comprehensive legal framework for digital assets, while strengthening the US dollar with a strategic bitcoin reserve.
Senator Lummis also proposed the “BITCOIN Act”, a bill aimed at creating a strategic reserve of BTC to improve the financial stability of the country. She emphasized that digital assets are the future and that the United States must remain at the forefront of global financial innovation. As chair of the subcommittee, Lummis plans to work closely with the Trump administration and her colleagues in the House of Representatives to advance common-sense regulations that promote innovation in the United States rather than abroad.

His leadership and commitment to bipartisan legislation promises to strengthen the country's position and see a strategic bitcoin reserve very soon.
