According to CryptoSlate, Ripple has donated $1 million to support XRP advocate and crypto lawyer John Deaton's campaign for Massachusetts Senator to challenge Elizabeth Warren, who is skeptical of cryptocurrency. The funds were provided through the Commonwealth Unity Fund, a super political action committee created by another lawyer who supports XRP, James Murphy.

Deaton has received strong support in the crypto industry, including from Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson. Data shows that Deaton has raised about $1.4 million.
