The least populous state in the United State already has 13 blockchain laws regarding the use and legalization of cryptocurrencies. She has been one of the most prominent advocates for the integration of cryptocurrency into the United States' financial system, and is one of many who refer to Bitcoin as "digital gold." Although little specifics about the bill have been revealed thus far, it is likely to significantly alter the way cryptocurrencies are regarded and classified across all federal agencies by offering consumer protections, stablecoin regulation, and the establishment of a regulatory organization to oversee the digital asset market.

Executive Order and Crypto regulation in the US.

The growth in the value of digital assets in recent years is seen by the United States government as an opportunity to strengthen the country's position as a leader in the global financial system and at the technological frontier. This is the main reason why President Biden intends to issue an Executive Order defining the government's approach to mitigating the risks and reaping the advantages of digital assets. This generated a strong response from the 16 percent of adult Americans and approximately 40 million people involved in the crypto space. Senator Cynthia Lummis herself had something to say about the announcement of the executive order, stating that she believes the decision overlooks the reality that the vast majority of cryptocurrency users are law-abiding citizens who are attempting to improve the financial system.
