Bitcoin Revolution in Washington: Senator Lummis on U.S. Debt, Gold, Stablecoins & Dollar Dominance

In this episode of Coin Stories, Natalie interviews Senator Lummis about the evolving landscape of Bitcoin in Washington, D.C., highlighting the shift from contrarian views to increasing support, especially with President Trump's pro-digital asset stance. Lummis discusses the BITCOIN Act, which aims to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve using assets from the U.S. Marshals Service and gold certificates to reduce the national debt. She addresses concerns about the U.S. dollar's world reserve currency status, advocating for stablecoins backed by U.S. Treasuries to maintain dollar dominance, and emphasizes the importance of bipartisan support for Bitcoin, viewing it as a long-term store of value and a key component of a diversified asset allocation. The conversation also covers regulatory frameworks for digital assets, the classification of meme coins, and the potential for stablecoins to coexist with and strengthen the U.S. dollar.
