Encryption currency lawyer Deaton battles for the Senate again, changing strategy to focus on livelihood issues.

On November 11 local time, Republican lawyer John Deaton, a supporter of encryption, officially announced that he will run in the 2026 Massachusetts Senate election. This is also his attempt to contest for a Senate seat again after losing to Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren last year.

Then, compared to the last campaign, Deaton's campaign strategy has undergone some adjustments. This time, there is almost no mention of cryptocurrency issues, and the focus has shifted to livelihood economic issues.

In last year's campaign against Warren, Deaton focused on cryptocurrency policy as his core campaign proposition, but ultimately lost by a margin of about 20 points, receiving only 40% of the votes.

Analysis suggests that the main reason for Deaton's adjustment of his campaign strategy is the significant improvement in the U.S. encryption regulatory environment since the Trump administration took office, particularly with the introduction of policies such as the GENIUS Act, which has greatly reduced the policy uncertainty in the industry.

And Deaton also hopes to take this opportunity to attract moderate voters who are more concerned about the cost of living than encryption policy.

In this campaign manifesto, Deaton focuses on the plight of working families in Massachusetts, pointing out that the high costs of energy, childcare, and housing are the core causes of the pressure on people's lives.

To this end, Deaton proposed several initiatives to create more livable states, support veterans, curb inflation, provide convenient healthcare services, and optimize educational resources in schools.

Although Deaton downplayed his position on cryptocurrency in public discussions, his campaign website still accepts political donations in various forms of digital assets. This detail shows that he continues to maintain a connection with the cryptocurrency community.

Deaton will challenge the incumbent Democratic Senator Ed Markey, who has already stated that he will run for a third term in 2026. However, Deaton is not Markey's only challenger, and this election will create a complex situation with multiple candidates from both parties vying for the position.

In summary, Deaton's re-election bid and his strategic shift are not only personal political choices but also a reflection of the evolution of the encryption currency issue in American politics.

His campaign strategy also indicates that for encryption to achieve lasting political influence, it must transcend its own domain and deeply integrate with mainstream issues such as livelihoods, employment, and economic security.
