<a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/ramp-network-integrates-with-ton-to-revolutionize-web3-access/" data-wpel-link="internal">Cryptocurrencies</a> are not yet fully regulated worldwide and will not be in the near future. Initially ignored and later branded as fraudulent, the crypto industry is now recognized by politicians. Moreover, the European Union has made progress with MiCA in crypto regulations. What about the USA? It prefers to lag behind. 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="us-and-crypto-currency-rules">US and Crypto Currency Rules</h2> 
Senior institutional officials in the US adopt a negative stance towards crypto currencies. The securities regulator <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/hashkey-group-advances-in-crypto-services-with-regulatory-approval/" data-wpel-link="internal">SEC</a> sees this as an area that should not require regulation. They argue that rules concerning the internet and securities are sufficient to regulate the crypto space. However, including some SEC members, many dissenting voices continuously argue the contrary. 
Opposition to crypto has also polarized politics in the US. In incidents during October, many politicians made baseless claims that crypto was used to finance structures like Hamas, emphasizing the need for strict limitations and oversight. 
Democrats, who consistently associate crypto with various incidents, previously targeted Republicans for blocking crypto taxes that could have helped with the national debt. Biden branded them as protectors of crypto and, in a way, enemies of the American people. 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="senator-lummis-and-her-statements-on-crypto">Senator Lummis and Her Statements on Crypto</h2> 
Senator Cynthia Lummis made some remarks at the Washington <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/bitcoins-golden-cross-announcement-will-it-reach-new-all-time-highs/" data-wpel-link="internal">Bitcoin</a> Policy Summit regarding cryptocurrencies, regulation, and US elections. The current political climate is stifling for crypto, and even SEC members Uyeda and Peirce agree. The crypto-friendly Senator stated; 
<blockquote> 
 “There are many high-level figures in this administration who are against crypto because they realize they can’t control it.” 
</blockquote>

Lummis said, “The Banking Committee is a kind of barrier,” and mentioned that the Senate race in Ohio will be critical for crypto. 
<blockquote> 
 “You have a kind of Blockchain entrepreneur running as a Republican against the Banking Committee chairman who has been whispered to by Elizabeth Warren on this topic.” 
</blockquote> 
The current chairman of the Senate Banking Committee is Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, and he is facing Bernie Moreno. Likely, as the November elections approach, the US will once again fail to take the expected regulatory steps concerning cryptocurrencies, and we will hear more pro-crypto rhetoric from Republicans.
