Elizabeth Warren Clinches Massachusetts Senate Seat, Extending Anti-Crypto Influence
06.11.2024 12:00 1 min. read Alexander Stefanov
Democrat Elizabeth Warren has decisively won re-election to the Massachusetts Senate seat, securing 74% of the vote, with over 145,000 votes counted so far.
Her victory over crypto advocate John Deaton marks the continuation of her tenure, extending her influence in the Senate since 2013.
Deaton, a well-known crypto lawyer, notably supported XRP holders during the legal battle with the SEC.
Despite his strong crypto industry backing, including significant donations from the Winklevoss twins and Ripple, he was considered an underdog, trailing Warren by 20 to 30 percentage points in most polls.
During their debates, Deaton accused Warren of stifling crypto innovation, while Warren emphasized the need for crypto businesses to adhere to regulations, particularly around consumer protection and anti-money laundering.
Her 2023 Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act has been a point of contention, with critics arguing it could stifle the sector.
Warren’s win ensures that Massachusetts will continue to have two Democratic senators, maintaining their 11-year streak in the U.S. Senate.
