John Deaton Launches Senate Campaign to Challenge Senator Warren’s Anti-Crypto Stance

Deaton has personally contributed $500,000 to his campaign and is aggressively soliciting additional assistance from his fans, hoping to achieve $1 million by the end of the quarter.

Previously, CNF reported on speculations concerning a private meeting at the SEC headquarters regarding Ripple’s continuing legal battle.
On July 13, 2024, it was found that XRP is not a security when traded to the public, but is classified as one when sold to institutional investors. This legal distinction has important ramifications for Ripple’s business operations and market position.
Ripple’s attraction to central banks stems from its promise of speed, security, and digital innovation, which uses blockchain technology to challenge established banking procedures and facilitate rapid global payments. The anticipation of an XRP ETF is building, subject to the resolution of its legal hurdles and increased real-world acceptance.
Meanwhile, according to CoinMarketCap, the XRP price at the time of writing was about $0.5438, up 2.58% over the last 24 hours. It also reflects a bullish position of 25.36% during the last seven days.
