Trail
Connection thesis
Lummis has already publicly rejected Cortez Masto's latest proposal citing developer protection shortfalls, signaling a substantive impasse rather than a negotiating posture, and crypto legislation has historically stalled on exactly these jurisdiction and developer liability disagreements.

Prediction
Senator Lummis and Senator Cortez Masto will fail to reach a compromise on the digital-asset bill by August 6, 2026, leaving the legislation without a bipartisan deal
