Senator Elizabeth Warren has agreed to debate Republican candidate John Deaton in the race for one of the United States Senate seats in Massachusetts. Deaton, a lawyer who has backed Ripple and other crypto firms facing litigation from the US Securities and Exchange Commission, challenged Warren to five single-issue debates, including one on cryptocurrency.

Warren's campaign manager, Janice Rottenberg, accused Deaton of being backed by "a small handful of crypto billionaires and corporate special interests" who "poured more than $2 million into a super PAC to handpick their preferred Republican candidate." This suggests the Senate election is being framed as a pro- vs. anti-crypto race.

The debates come as Senator Cynthia Lummis, a pro-crypto Republican, has also weighed in on the race. While it's unclear if crypto will be a central focus, the debates are likely to be closely watched by the crypto industry and its supporters, who see the Massachusetts Senate race as a crucial battleground.
