Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren has won the Massachusetts Senate seat, defeating crypto-friendly Republican John Deaton in a significant victory, securing approximately 74% of the votes counted. With nearly 145,000 votes counted so far, Warren is poised to begin her third term in the U.S. Senate. She has been a prominent critic of cryptocurrencies in U.S. politics, while Deaton, a well-known crypto lawyer, has advocated for XRP token holders amid legal battles with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Despite Deaton's notable support from the crypto community, including $2 million in backing from notable figures such as the Winklevoss twins and Ripple, Warren maintained a substantial lead in most polls prior to the election. This election also signals a victory for the Democratic Party in Massachusetts, providing 11 electoral college votes to Kamala Harris.
