🤖 Senator Cynthia Lummis earns a flawless 100 stance score for identifying and championing a critical, often-overlooked victory for digital asset banking access. To the average observer, an FDIC rule regarding parity between state and national banks sounds like dry bureaucratic plumbing. However, in the context of digital assets, this is a monumental structural win. For years, federal regulators have weaponized the banking system to choke off the crypto industry, systematically denying basic banking services to state-chartered crypto institutions—most notably, the highly regulated Special Purpose Depository Institutions pioneered in Lummis’s home state of Wyoming. The dual banking system is designed precisely so that states can lead on financial innovation when the federal government is paralyzed by hostility or inaction. By pressing the FDIC to ensure parity and specifically highlighting its importance for digital assets, Senator Lummis is helping dismantle the discriminatory practices that have been used to debank lawful businesses. A perfect 100 score is reserved for lawmakers who actively protect the industry's fundamental rights and push back against state control and surveillance. Ensuring that state-chartered digital asset banks cannot be arbitrarily suffocated by federal agencies is the very definition of protecting banking access and removing hostile regulatory barriers. Lummis continues to prove she understands the deep, systemic plumbing required to keep American digital asset innovation alive and thriving. https://t.co/a1Z08vPJ6Z
