Deaton<\/span><\/a>, a well-known crypto lawyer who advocated for XRP holders in Ripple’s battle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), had the backing of several crypto elites. This resulted in him securing $2 million in funding from Gemini founders the Winklevoss twins and Ripple.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the backing from major crypto players, Deaton was considered a longshot against Warren, who held the seat in the US senate since 2013. She also maintained a comfortable 20 to 30 percentage point lead in the polls prior to the official vote count.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you, Massachusetts! I’m deeply grateful that you’ve decided to send me back to the Senate. Together, we’ll keep up the fight for a government that works for working people. pic.twitter.com\/DMBA8VkbbC<\/a><\/p>\n
