With 57 days until the US election, expenditures from Super PACs seem to be heating up in Massachusetts and nationwide.

The Commonwealth Unity Fund, a political action committee (PAC) primarily funded by contributions from the co-founders of Gemini and Ripple Labs, has spent more than $600,000 toward the election of Republican candidate John Deaton in the United States Senate.

According to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records filed on Sept. 6, Commonwealth spent roughly $330,000 on media buys opposing Democratic incumbent Elizabeth Warren in the Massachusetts US Senate race. The Super PAC also spent the same amount on a media placement supporting Deaton.

The media buy marked one of the first significant expenditures from a crypto-backed Super PAC since Deaton won the Republican nomination for the US Senate race on Sept. 3. Backed by crypto industry leaders including the Winklevoss twins and Kraken co-founder Jesse Powell, the Republican candidate seeks to unseat Sen. Warren, who has served as Massachusetts’ Democratic Senator since 2013.

In November, Massachusetts voters will likely have to choose between incumbent Elizabeth Warren and Republican John Deaton or Ian Cain for the US Senate.

On Sept. 3, voters in Massachusetts will decide which political party candidates will advance to the November general election, a race that could have significant repercussions for the crypto industry.

In the 2024 United States Senate election for Massachusetts, three candidates across party lines have expressed staunch pro- or anti-crypto views, attracting financial support from the industry and criticism from others. According to polls conducted in May, incumbent Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren was still highly favored above all potential Republican candidates, only one of whom will likely face off against her in November.

A lawyer who has penned many amicus briefs on behalf of crypto firms facing litigation from the US Securities and Exchange Commission, John Deaton has the support of many high-profile figures in the digital asset industry. This includes Ripple, which donated $1 million to a political action committee (PAC) supporting Deaton’s campaign, Gemini co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, Kraken co-founder Jesse Powell and Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson.
