<p><strong>Tyler Winklevoss criticized Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren’s campaign for being “dishonest,” alleging that she is waging an unlawful war against the cryptocurrency sector. In doing so, the Gemini co-founder expressed his support for pro-XRP advocate, John Deaton.</strong></p>
<p>Deaton recently earned the Republican nomination, positioning himself to challenge Warren for the Massachusetts Senate seat in the forthcoming US elections.</p>

<p>Winklevoss’s comments were in response to an email from Elizabeth Warren’s campaign, which claimed that conservative, crypto-backed groups are funding million-dollar advertising campaigns against her. Warren specifically mentioned Tyler and his brother Cameron, accusing them of opposing reasonable regulatory practices in the cryptocurrency realm.</p>
<p>She further claimed that the brothers were financing conservative groups to disseminate misinformation that would benefit John Deaton, following his recent nomination for Senate.</p>
<blockquote class="max-w-xl text-4.5 border-l-2 border-blue-600 pl-11 mb-9 select-all [&_p]:!mb-0 wp-block-quote">
<p>“Elizabeth Warren’s recent campaign email is downright dishonest. She argues the crypto industry is upset because she 'advocated for fair regulations,' while she has been conducting an unlawful war against it and the 50 million Americans who own crypto. Vote for John Deaton to put an end to the madness,” Tyler Winklevoss <a href="https://x.com/tyler/status/1833616713914716369" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">stated</a>.</p>

<p>Tyler Winklevoss’s endorsement of Deaton stems from his belief in the ability of cryptocurrency to democratize finance. Like many advocates in the industry, he maintains it will foster economic freedom. His brother, Cameron, echoes these sentiments, and both see Deaton as a true defender of the cause.</p>
<p>In July, they contributed $1 million in Bitcoin (BTC) to Deaton’s Senate campaign. Other notable backers included Ripple Labs, which also donated $1 million to the Commonwealth Unity Fund for Deaton, both efforts aimed at unseating Warren.</p>
<p>Wayne Vaughan, a participant in the crypto market, among others, <a href="https://x.com/WayneVaughan/status/1833617686099595419" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">voiced</a> support for Winklevoss’s remarks, expressing his hope for a future without Warren in office.</p>

<p>In a recent discussion with WBUR, John Deaton criticized Senator Elizabeth Warren for disregarding the facts in her approach to cryptocurrency regulation. He accused her of advocating for banks engaged in money laundering.</p>
<p>Notable figures from within Warren’s own political sphere have also called her out. Anthony Scaramucci and Mark Cuban, both supporters of Kamala Harris, have deemed Warren a hypocrite for her alliances with “regulatory evil” entities, including SEC Chair Gary Gensler.</p>

<p>The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has placed significant pressure on the crypto industry for several years. Some lawmakers have facilitated these constraints, with a legal expert suggesting that further crypto crackdowns could occur this month.</p>
<blockquote class="max-w-xl text-4.5 border-l-2 border-blue-600 pl-11 mb-9 select-all [&_p]:!mb-0 wp-block-quote">
<p>“Just a reminder that the SEC, CFTC, and other regulators conclude their fiscal year on September 30. It’s common to see a surge of enforcement actions in September as they finalize their performance reports and budget requests for Congress. This month could be quite eventful,” wrote Jake Chervinsky, Chief Legal Officer of Variant Fund <a href="https://x.com/jchervinsky/status/1831404691215077757" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">noted</a>.</p>
