Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Elon Musk Endorse Pro-Crypto Attorney John Deaton in Senate Campaign
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and billionaire Elon Musk have thrown their support behind pro-crypto attorney John Deaton in his bid to unseat Senator Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts. Armstrong took to social media to criticize Warren for her anti-crypto stance and support for SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s efforts to regulate the industry. Musk also voiced his support for Deaton, aligning with his pro-crypto stance.
Deaton has garnered support from other notable figures in the crypto world, including Ripple and Gemini founders who have donated to his campaign. Despite Warren’s criticism of Deaton’s ties to the crypto industry, he is seen as a key defender of the sector against what many describe as Warren’s “anti-crypto crusade.”
While recent polls show Warren leading Deaton, the growing support from the crypto community could potentially shift the tide in Deaton’s favor. Stay tuned for updates on this closely watched Senate race.
