John Deaton, a lawyer known as an advocate for crypto, dominated the Republican primary in Massachusetts, though beating Warren would be a Herculean task. The hope of crypto enthusiasts weary of industry pushback from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) remains alive after the crypto sector's top candidate, lawyer John Deaton, won the Republican primary in Massachusetts and a chance to face Warren in the general election.

Massachusetts Republicans supported Deaton with almost two-thirds of the vote, according to unofficial results after the polls closed on Tuesday. Early polling had indicated the edge may have been with Robert Antonellis, an engineer who favored former President Donald Trump's views on a range of social issues, but he trailed far behind Deaton.

Warren, one of the most prominent leaders of the U.S. progressive wing of the Democratic Party, has lashed crypto with sharp rhetoric and heavy legislative proposals that could crack the financial movement's foundations. She amassed almost $20 million in direct donations for her Senate campaign, outpacing would-be Republican challengers to an extreme extent.
