Coinbase’s Armstrong Rallies Crypto Support for Deaton Over Warren

  • Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong extended support for Massachusetts candidate John Deaton.

  • Armstrong claims Senator Elizabeth Warren tried to kill crypto in the US.

  • Winklevoss twins and Ripple donated $1 million each in support of Deaton.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has called on cryptocurrency investors in Massachusetts to support John Deaton, a trial attorney and U.S. Marine veteran, in his bid for the U.S. Senate. Armstrong also criticized the current representative, Senator Elizabeth Warren, for her long-standing opposition to the cryptocurrency industry.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Armstrong argued that under Warren’s leadership, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was handed to Gary Gensler, who then attempted to “unlawfully” stifle the crypto industry in America. Armstrong claimed that Warren’s efforts failed because the digital asset sector fought back against the excessive regulations.

Labeling Warren as “anti-freedom,” Armstrong pointed out that the current Senator “thinks the government should run all financial services (similar to China), and has done enormous harm to this country.”
