What to know:
- U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis, a dedicated friend to crypto causes, has decided to exit the Senate after her first term.
- Lummis said in a statement that she doesn't have another six years in the tank, but she intends to deliver major legislation to President Donald Trump's desk next year.
U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis, who has arguably been the closest friend to the crypto sector in Congress, won't seek another term, she said in a statement on Friday.

The first-term lawmaker will call it quits after her six-year term ends in January 2027, leaving a Republican seat open in extremely red Wyoming, but also removing a major ally for the digital assets industry. Lummis has been the inaugural chair of the first subcommittee dedicated to crypto matters at the U.S. Banking Committee, where she's pushed crypto-friendly legislation as a top priority.
Even now, she's among the leading negotiators for the crypto market structure bill, which will draw members back to the bargaining table after the holiday break. She'll still be there in what may be a final push for the industry's top legislative goal in 2026.
“Deciding not to run for re-election does represent a change of heart for me, but in the difficult, exhausting session weeks this fall I’ve come to accept that I do not have six more years in me,” Lummis said in the statement, released as the chamber abandoned Washington for the break. She equated herself with a sprinter who has been running in a marathon. "The energy required doesn’t match up,” she said.
Over and over, Lummis has introduced bills meant to ease a path toward regulatory acceptance and the government embrace of crypto. Those have included broad market structure efforts, crypto tax proposals and the legislation to establish the government's bitcoin stockpile.
Though the congressional midterm elections in 2026 will be a high-stakes political battlefield in which the party majorities in both chambers will be on the line, the last time a Democrat held a Senate seat in Wyoming was in the 1970s. In Lummis' 2020 campaign, she took almost 73% of the vote.
“I am honored to have earned the support of President Trump and to have the opportunity to work side by side with him to fight for the people of Wyoming,” Lummis said in her statement. She said she'll be “throwing all my energy into bringing important legislation to his desk in 2026 and into retaining commonsense Republican control of the U.S. Senate.”

Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised
The post Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:26 While meme tokens like Pepe Coin and established networks such as Tron attract headlines, many investors are now searching for projects that combine innovation, revenue-sharing and real-world utility. BlockchainFX ($BFX), currently in presale at $0.024 ahead of an expected $0.05 launch, is quickly becoming one of the best cryptos to buy today. With $7m already secured and a unique model spanning multiple asset classes, it is positioning itself as a decentralised super app and a contender to surpass older altcoins. Early Presale Pricing Creates A Rare Entry Point BlockchainFX’s presale pricing structure has been designed to reward early participants. At $0.024, buyers secure a lower entry price than later rounds, locking in a cost basis more than 50% below the projected $0.05 launch price. As sales continue to climb beyond $7m, each new stage automatically increases the token price. This built-in mechanism creates a clear advantage for early investors and explains why the project is increasingly cited in “best presales to buy now” discussions across the crypto space. High-Yield Staking Model Shares Platform Revenue Beyond its presale appeal, BlockchainFX is creating a high-yield staking model that gives holders a direct share of platform revenue. Every time a trade occurs on its platform, 70% of trading fees flow back into the $BFX ecosystem: 50% of collected fees are automatically distributed to stakers in both BFX and USDT. 20% is allocated to daily buybacks of $BFX, adding demand and price support. Half of the bought-back tokens are permanently burned, steadily reducing supply. Rewards are based on the size of each member’s BFX holdings and capped at $25,000 USDT per day to ensure sustainability. This structure transforms token ownership from a speculative bet into an income-generating position, a rare feature among today’s altcoins. A Multi-Asset Platform…

Record instroom Bitcoin-ETF’s – richting $120.000?
Connect met Like-minded Crypto Enthusiasts! Connect op Discord! Check onze Discord De markt voor Bitcoin ETF’s laat wederom een opvallende trend zien. De afgelopen week werd de grootste instroom sinds juli geregistreerd, een ontwikkeling die de aandacht van zowel institutionele als particuliere beleggers trekt. Deze instroom zorgt voor nieuwe speculatie over de vraag of Bitcoin binnenkort de grens van 120.000 dollar kan doorbreken. Laten we dit hieronder nader bekijken. Grootste instroom sinds juli Volgens recente marktgegevens wist de Amerikaanse spot Bitcoin ETF’s een instroom te krijgen ver boven de gemiddelde niveaus van de afgelopen weken. Alleen al op 16 september werd meer dan 290 miljoen dollar netto in deze fondsen gestort. Daarmee markeert dit de zevende opeenvolgende dag met positieve instroom, een duidelijk teken dat institutionele belangstelling opnieuw toeneemt. De grootste bijdrage kwam van BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, dat meer dan 200 miljoen dollar stortte. Ook de ETF’s van Fidelity en Ark lieten grote instroom zien. Kortom, de instroom blijft positief. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs Ignite with a $553M daily inflow, pushing a four-day streak to $1.7B. Ether ETFs also saw a resurgence with $113M in new funds. #Bitcoin #ETF #ETHhttps://t.co/zZiNqtKSEm — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) September 12, 2025 Hoe instroom prijsondersteuning biedt De sterke instroom in Bitcoin ETF’s is meer dan een mijlpaal. Het laat zien hoe de vraag naar Bitcoin groeit vanuit institutionele hoek en dat deze vraag niet voor een keer is, maar structureel is. Omdat de instroom de hoeveelheid nieuw geminde Bitcoin overtreft, ontstaat er een overschot qua vraag dat de prijs positief kan beïnvloeden. Dit verschil tussen aanbod en vraag zorgt ervoor dat het dalende risico wordt beperkt. Wanneer institutionele beleggers via ETF’s posities opbouwen, gebeurt dit bovendien vaak met een langere beleggingshorizon. Dat geeft de markt extra stabiliteit, zeker in een periode waarin onzekerheden rondom rente en macro-economie nog altijd spelen. Signaalfunctie voor beleggers Voor beleggers in de crypto markt hebben deze cijfers een signaalfunctie. Het vertrouwen dat grote institutionele spelers door miljarden te alloceren in gereguleerde beleggingsproducten bevestigt dat Bitcoin steeds meer gekocht wordt in de traditionele financiële wereld. Dit momentum werkt vaak door naar de bredere markt, omdat particuliere beleggers dit zien als bevestiging dat de trend omhoog sterker wordt. Ook technische analyse wijst op een belangrijke fase. De koers van Bitcoin beweegt rond de 118.000 dollar, een weerstandsniveau dat al meerdere keren is getest. Het momentum dat voortkomt uit de ETF instroom kan de kracht geven om dit niveau te doorbreken en een nieuwe fase van prijsstijging richting 120.000 dollar in te luiden. Op korte termijn richting de $120.000? Hoewel niemand met zekerheid kan voorspellen of Bitcoin dit niveau direct zal bereiken, biedt de huidige context sterke aanwijzingen dat de kans aanwezig is. De combinatie van record instroom, institutioneel vertrouwen en een gunstig technisch analyse vormt een krachtige mix. Beleggers doen er goed aan om rekening te houden met de invloed van externe factoren zoals beleidsbesluiten van de Federal Reserve.
