The Wyoming senator says digital asset firms in the state face living will requirements, higher Bank Secrecy Act (anti-money-laundering rules) standards, and stronger capital standards than community banks.
Senator Cynthia Lummis said Wyoming has established the "gold standard" for digital asset regulation. According to her remarks, crypto companies operating in the state must meet living will requirements, higher Bank Secrecy Act (anti-money-laundering rules) standards, and capital standards that exceed those applied to community banks. The comments highlight Wyoming's role as one of the most crypto-friendly U.S. jurisdictions while also showing that the state has imposed a formal compliance framework on digital asset firms.
