April 9, 2026
CHEYENNE, WY—U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Senate Banking Subcommittee on Digital Assets Chair, hosted a roundtable at the Wyoming State Capitol with Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan V. Gould and Governor Mark Gordon to discuss the state’s regulatory landscape for digital assets, the importance of the dual banking system, and how bank supervision can support responsible financial innovation.  The Comptroller of the Currency is a Senate-confirmed position that charters, regulates, and supervises all national banks and federal savings associations in the United States.
“Wyoming has always led from the front on digital assets, and the work we did in Wyoming nearly a decade ago is the foundation for what we are doing now on the federal level,”said Lummis.“Wyoming has built the most thoughtful regulatory framework in the country for digital assets, and bringing Comptroller Gould here to see what we have accomplished firsthand is how we ensure federal policy reflects what is actually working on the ground.”
“As the business of banking continues to evolve, it is critical that we engage with leaders at every level of government to ensure the safe and sound operation of our financial system—including the important role of digital asset technology,”said Gould. “I appreciate Senator Lummis and Governor Gordon for facilitating this thoughtful discussion and for their strong commitment to the long-term vibrancy and competitiveness of our nation’s economy.”
“Wyoming has worked deliberately to create a policy environment that supports innovation while maintaining high standards for safety, soundness, and consumer protection,”said Gordon.“Today’s discussion reflects the importance of continued coordination among policymakers, regulators and industry leaders as digital assets become an increasingly important part of U.S. monetary policy and the global financial landscape.”
