One of crypto’s fierce advocates and XRP enthusiast John E. Deaton recently secured the GOP nomination, for the upcoming Massachusetts Senate race where he will face off against veteran Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren on Nov. 5. Deaton garnered significant support from the crypto community, securing 65% of the vote, making it a crucial moment for the digital asset sector’s involvement in US politics.
In his acceptance post, Deaton expressed gratitude for the support and emphasized the need for more fundraising to take on Warren, a powerful senator who held the Massachusetts seat for more than a decade.
I’m honored and humbled by the outpouring of support and, with great pleasure, accept this opportunity to face off against Elizabeth Warren, the powerful progressive lawmaker who has served as the senior senator from Massachusetts for more than a decade. I need your help right now to close the fundraising gap.
Many leading crypto players have rallied behind Deaton including Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson who confirmed his endorsement despite past differences with the XRP firebrand. Other notable backers include crypto billionaires and Gemini exchange founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, who contributed to his campaign. Blockchain firm Ripple donated $1 million to a super PAC backing the Republican hopeful.
