John Deaton has pointed out that Warren has been an outspoken critic of bank executives while at the same supporting bank bailouts during the Great Financial Crisis. He suggests that she is not acting out of accountability but rather as a political move. Deaton further explained that Warren’s policies are designed to ensure that the existing financial system is shielded in the detriment of innovation within the crypto space.
Warren’s Crypto Regulation Stance Under Scrutiny
Senator Warren has been one of the most vocal critics of the cryptocurrency industry, advocating for increased regulation of the digital asset space in the past. Recently, she has alleged that some conservative organizations backed by the crypto industry are peddling falsehoods to discredit her.
Warren also listed the Winklevoss twins, founders of the Gemini exchange as supporters of these groups and indicated that they stand against proper regulation that would protect consumers.
Nevertheless, John Deaton and other industry supporters have dismissed Senator Elizabeth Warren’s allegations stating that she is merely going after the crypto investors and firms while turning a blind eye to other related issues in normal banking. The Pro-XRP lawyer has also argued that less than one percent of cryptocurrencies transactions are associated with criminal activities while several hundreds of billion dollars are estimated to be laundered every year via major banking systems.
Debate to Focus on Crypto and Financial Sector Accountability
The upcoming debate will most likely be focused on the questions of financial sector’s responsibility, cryptocurrency, and the government regulation.
John Deaton has depicted Warren as continuing with the tradition of looking for the interest of big banks through her legislation and association with the lobbyists from the financial sector.
He also states that Senator Elizabeth Warren’s proposed crypto regulations would suppress innovation and be detrimental to American investors, as well as not sufficiently penalize major financial firms for their misconduct.
