- Senator Lummis demands Powell’s resignation over digital asset policies.
- Calls focus on Powell’s impact on crypto innovation.
- Potential shifts in U.S. crypto policy could emerge.
Senator Cynthia Lummis has publicly criticized Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s handling of digital asset policies, demanding his resignation. Her statements underscore her concerns over the potential setback to American innovation in the crypto sector. Lummis, a prominent advocate for crypto, argues that Powell’s leadership is harming the industry’s progress. She referenced the alleged sale of U.S. Bitcoin reserves as a strategic setback, though no official confirmation supports this claim.
“Jay Powell let Operation Chokepoint 2.0 happen under his watch, assassinating the digital asset industry and setting American innovation back decades. It’s time for him to resign.” — Cynthia Lummis, U.S. Senator (R-WY)
The controversy draws attention to existing tensions within the financial system and could influence federal policies. Other politicians, including Senator Bernie Moreno, echoed these sentiments, emphasizing a need for leadership change at the Federal Reserve.
Lummis’s comments could lead to broader conversations on regulatory practices as the U.S. strives to maintain its position in the digital currency landscape. The absence of an official response from Powell or the Federal Reserve leaves questions about future regulatory directions.
Financial outcomes are yet unclear, though historical trends suggest regulatory shifts may impact market stability. The broader implications for digital assets and regulatory approaches remain a focal point in ongoing discussions.
