On 26, April 2024, John Deaton, ripple lawyer and a potential candidate for the Senate, <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.599908/gov.uscourts.nysd.599908.117.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="external">filed</a> a document supporting Coinbase in its case against the SEC. He is representing the voice of 4,701 customers by arguing for clearer regulatory guidance.

This follows Deaton’s run for Senate, showing the connection between crypto and politics. This appeal seeks to challenge the SEC’s definition of an “investment contract” under which they have taken the case against Coinbase. 
Now that the Senate race in Massachusetts is reaching its final stages, between the two candidates, including the current Senator Elizabeth Warren, there are campaigns with opposite views on digital currencies. 
In a recent speech, Warren proposed strengthening laws aimed at specific crypto activities instead of the technologies themselves. Although Deaton’s legal actions involve the political aspect of cryptocurrency, the outcome of his campaign is uncertain. 
The main point is that a crypto lawyer representing customers is challenging the SEC’s case against Coinbase, and this ties into the differing crypto stances of candidates in a Senate race where the topic is relevant.
