62. Some really disappointing names on the bill, although I'm not surprised to see Hickenlooper's name.

AI Overview

While it is reported that 16 Senate Democrats voted for a procedural motion related to a cryptocurrency bill in May 2025, according to Common Dreams, the number of Democrats who ultimately voted for the GENIUS Act (a different crypto-related bill focusing on stablecoin regulation) in June 2025 was higher.

Eighteen Senate Democrats voted for the GENIUS Act:
Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.)
Cory Booker (D-N.J.)
Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.)
John Fetterman (D-Penn.)
Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.)
Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.)
Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.)
Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.)
John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.)
Andy Kim (D-N.J.)
Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.)
Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.)
Alex Padilla (D-Calif.)
Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.)
Adam Schiff (D-Calif.)
Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.)
Mark Warner (D-Va.)
Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.)

It's important to note that the GENIUS Act passed the Senate with a bipartisan vote of 68-30, and 71 House Democrats voted for the FIT21 Act in May 2024, demonstrating significant bipartisan support for crypto regulation.
