In a recent debate, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized lawyer John Deaton, saying that 90% of his campaign funding came from cryptocurrencies, and accused him of having 100% of his loyalty in Washington tied to cryptocurrencies, suggesting that it was corrupt. Warren reiterated concerns about cryptocurrencies being linked to illegal activities and called for greater regulation. Multiple polls show Warren leading Deaton by about 20 percentage points ahead of the November election, with early voting set to begin on October 19.
