Former Marine and pro-XRP lawyer John E. Deaton is considering a US Senate run in Massachusetts, potentially opposing Senator Elizabeth Warren.

Deaton, founder of CryptoLaw, has garnered support, including advice from Jim Conroy and $500,000 in initial campaign funding.

MassGOP Chair Amy Carnevale has endorsed Deaton's potential candidacy, citing Warren's perceived vulnerabilities and issues with local leadership.

The potential electoral battle between Deaton and Warren represents a clash of views on cryptocurrency, with Deaton advocating for crypto and Warren known for her skepticism.

Key cryptocurrency industry figures and companies are showing support for Deaton, indicating the sector's growing political influence and interest in shaping crypto regulations.

A super PAC backed by the cryptocurrency industry has invested in a multimillion-dollar ad campaign targeting Warren's political allies.

Senator Warren's office participated in the 15th-anniversary recognition of Bitcoin, though her personal stance on this gesture is not confirmed.

At the time of reporting, the cryptocurrency XRP's value was $0.55178.
