With Lummis withdrawing from the race, Hageman may take over the pro-crypto Senate seat in Wyoming.

According to a report by Cointelegraph, Wyoming Representative Harriet Hageman recently released a mysterious "Soon" video, sparking speculation that he may be running for a Senate seat in 2026. This comes after incumbent Senator Cynthia Lummis announced she would not seek re-election. A staunch supporter of the cryptocurrency industry, Lummis has spearheaded several blockchain legislation legislations, including the Responsible Financial Innovation Act, and her departure will deprive the crypto industry of a key ally. While Hageman has not yet made digital assets a core focus, he has secured the support of Caitlin Long, a leading advocate for blockchain law in Wyoming. The 2026 election will test whether the state can maintain its position as a Senate cryptocurrency champion.
