Cynthia said that she wishes to teach the senators regarding the opportunities that the cryptocurrency world can provide with this caucus. Her primary concentration will be on Bitcoin. Further, along with this, she also aspires to spread the information regarding financial innovation and blockchain.
People often link the crypto and other digital assets with money laundering and other illegal activities. Cynthia Lummis has said that this Financial Innovation Caucus will majorly concentrate on eliminating cryptocurrency’s false narrative. She also suggested that research by Chainalysis explicitly asserts that cryptocurrency or other digital asset-related crime is lesser than that with cash.
Janet Yellen emphasizes need for enhanced Crypto Regulations

Nevertheless, Lummis elucidated that rules would have to leave space for crypto innovation. Cynthia Lummis has been carrying on to Bitcoin since she acquired it in 2013 and 2014. Since her purchase, she has concluded that Bitcoin is an excellent store of value and has also linked it to the permanent mineral trust.
