John Deaton’s 2026 campaign could reignite the crypto policy debate in Washington.

While his announcement didn’t center on digital assets, Deaton has long sparred with lawmakers like Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, both critics of the crypto industry.

Markey, 80, voted against the GENIUS stablecoin bill and has called crypto mining “an extravagant waste of energy.”

Deaton’s bid may once again rally crypto voters under the “Stand With Crypto” movement.
