XRP Lawyer John Deaton Volunteers for Congressional Hearing on Crypto

• Deaton actively advocates for a Congressional subpoena of SEC Chairman Gensler, highlighting the alleged non-compliance of the SEC.
• He also urged public figures like Elizabeth Warren and Senator Sherrod Brown to fulfill their oversight responsibilities.

Pro-XRP advocate John Deaton offers to testify at the January 10, 2024, congressional hearing on digital assets, fintech, and inclusion. The hearing, hosted by the House Financial Services Committee’s Digital Assets, Fintech, and Inclusion Subcommittee, seeks to explore the effects of the Financial Stability Oversight Council’s evolving regulatory approach on crypto sector innovation.

In response to the recent announcement by House Financial Services Committee Chairman Patrick McHenry, John Deaton expressed his keen interest in representing individual token holders. This announcement was made through his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), where Deaton emphasized his commitment to advocating for the concerns of retail crypto holders, setting himself apart from advocates aligned with crypto companies.

Deaton’s offer gained substantial support from the XRP community, with numerous responses encouraging Chairman McHenry to consider Deaton’s participation. The community regards him as a highly credible and knowledgeable figure capable of effectively communicating the implications of government regulations on individual crypto holders.

One community member urged, “Come on Patrick McHenry, do this as a parting gift. We have suffered long enough.” Another echoed, “John Deaton is, by orders of magnitude, the most qualified, knowledgeable, and credible individual to testify on the impact of government regulators on retail crypto holders.”
