The term “crypto” has become somewhat all-encompassing. The umbrella term now covers everything in the industry, from Web3 and non-fungible tokens (NFT), decentralized finance (DeFi) to venture capital. But where there’s crypto, there’s custody. And not all crypto custody solutions are alike.

During the third day of Consensus 2023, Michele Musso, senior producer of podcasts at CoinDesk, spoke with Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) about the current state of crypto regulation and innovation, the national security risks associated with "offshoring" crypto and Gary Gensler's message of resistance.

Additionally, the Senator discusses the importance of diversifying your portfolio with crypto and bitcoin, the devaluation of the U.S. dollar and the influence young people have in this space.

Last year both Senator Lummis and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) introduced landmark legislation to create a regulatory framework for crypto called “The Responsible Financial Innovation Act.” They will reintroduce a revised version with more statutory language.
