The Massachusetts senatorial debate between incumbent Elizabeth Warren and her pro-crypto challenger, John Deaton, touched upon the contentious issue of cryptocurrencies. Senator Warren criticized Deaton for potentially becoming a mouthpiece for the crypto industry if he wins the election, arguing that his funding largely comes from the sector.
Deaton responded by highlighting Warren’s lack of focus on pressing issues like inflation, as well as her own ties to corporate PACs and special interest groups. Both candidates expressed their concerns and opposing views on the role and risks of digital assets in the financial system.
