<a href="https://news.todayq.com/coinbase-faces-downgrade-from-jpmorgan-with-btc-price-drop/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinbase’s</a> non profit advocacy organization Stand with Crypto has recently revealed that at least 18 United States senators are now voicing their support for crypto. The data indicates a significant shift in attitudes toward the digital asset space within the Senate. Senators supporting crypto stance 
At the forefront of pro-crypto politicians are <a href="https://news.todayq.com/republican-senators-voice-concerns-over-regulatory-action-on-banks-serving-crypto-industry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Republican senators</a> Cynthia Lumnis and Ted Burr, who have emerged as key figures in championing crypto causes. Lumnis has notably endorsed eight crypto bills and made a remarkable 184 public statements on crypto, while Burr has matched her efforts with eight bills and 24 statements.&nbsp;
Close behind, Republicans Ted Cruz and Bill Hagerty are making their mark with a combined five bills and 92 statements supporting crypto. Impressively, of the 18 senators rallying behind crypto, 14 belong to the Republican party, showcasing a notable bipartisan interest in the digital asset space.
However, it’s essential to note that not all senators share this positive sentiment. A total of 30 senators reportedly stand in opposition to crypto, with 23 Democrats, five Republicans, and two Independents taking a clear stance against it, according to Stand With Crypto’s tracker.
Interestingly, two prominent figures leaning towards supporting crypto are Republican presidential candidate<a href="https://news.todayq.com/trump-rally-in-focus-ramaswamys-crypto-vision-takes-backseat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Donald Trump</a> and Independent presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy, in particular, has made Bitcoin a core theme of his election campaign, proposing legislation to support its growth. On the other hand, Trump has recently announced his resistance to the creation of central bank digital currencies. The ones against it 
In contrast, President <a href="https://news.todayq.com/bidens-communications-director-ben-labolt-restricted-from-handling-matters-on-crypto-and-tech-firms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Joe Biden</a> is listed on the website as being against crypto, having made five public statements that lean towards a negative stance on digital assets.
One of the most vocal crypto-opposing senators is Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat who has backed or introduced three anti-crypto bills and issued a total of 76 statements against crypto, according to Stand With Crypto data. Notably, Warren reintroduced her Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act in July 2023, aiming to address concerns about noncustodial digital wallets and enhance Bank Secrecy Act responsibilities.
However, Elizabeth Warren has tried to make rules against crypto, but some groups that support certain causes don’t agree with her ideas. Despite the pushback, Warren has made the “war on crypto” a focal point of her reelection campaign. She has repeatedly stated that digital assets are being exploited for terrorism financing in the Middle East and other illicit activities.
