John Deaton, a pro-crypto lawyer running for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts, has declared his strong opposition to a central bank-issued digital currency (CBDC). In an interview with Generation Infinity, Deaton stated that "if the Federal Reserve issues a CBDC, it will have the ability to monitor and potentially restrict how individuals spend their money, and I am prepared to fight any CBDC the Fed issues." Deaton's stance on CBDCs aligns with growing concerns about privacy and government overreach in the digital currency space. He emphasized that "the government should not have the power to control how people spend their money." In addition to his opposition to CBDCs, Deaton also called for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to provide clarity regarding regulations for the crypto industry. He noted that the current regulatory landscape is "unclear and inconsistent," which creates uncertainty for businesses and investors. Deaton's views on crypto regulation and CBDCs are likely to resonate with voters in Massachusetts, a state with a strong tech industry and a growing crypto community. His campaign promises to fight for the rights of crypto users and to promote innovation in the digital currency space.
