Harriet Hageman has sparked discussions regarding a Senate bid in 2026 by posting a teaser video on X. This coincides with Senator Cynthia Lummis announcing she will not seek reelection, leaving her Senate seat open.

The brief clip features just the word “Soon,” indicating Hageman’s intentions while stirring hopes among Wyoming’s pro-crypto community.

Senator Lummis has been a strong advocate for the crypto industry, pushing for regulatory clarity and supporting various legislative measures like the Responsible Financial Innovation Act.

Hageman, who has been seen by some as a potential successor, has thus far emphasized conservative themes that resonate in Wyoming, but her Senate run would necessitate a shift to incorporate Lummis’s crypto-focused legacy.

Caitlin Long, founder of Custodia Bank, described Hageman as “salt of the earth” and has signaled her support for Hageman’s expected candidacy. Wyoming’s 2026 Senate race will be pivotal in determining if the state continues its crypto-friendly reputation or aligns more broadly with the Trump-era Republican agenda.
