Sen. Cynthia Lummis warned that if Congress does not pass digital asset legislation in the current session, the next major opportunity may not come until 2030. She posted the warning on May 30 as Senate staff continued combining draft legislation from the Senate banking and agriculture committees. Prediction markets were assigning a 60% chance that legislation would pass by 2026.
