John Deaton, a well-known cryptocurrency lawyer and advocate, has proposed leading an investigation into the alleged 'Operation Choke Point 2.0,' which aims to restrict cryptocurrency companies' access to traditional banking services.

Background of John Deaton's Statement

Deaton made his proposal on January 4 in a post on X, addressing President-elect Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other members of the incoming administration. He framed the investigation as essential to protecting institutional integrity and preventing abuses of power by unelected bureaucrats.

Investigation's Importance for the Industry

Deaton emphasized that underestimating 'Choke Point 2.0' could set a dangerous precedent, allowing regulators to silently suppress industries they disapprove of, hindering innovation and economic growth. In his comments, he stated that the American public deserves the truth more than another taxpayer-funded investigation. This comes after a court ruled to allow Coinbase access to FDIC documents that could reveal federal agencies' roles in the supposed operation.

Response to Political Climate in the USA

Deaton's proposal follows his recent defeat in the Massachusetts Senate race against crypto critic Senator Elizabeth Warren, during which he accused Warren of prioritizing anti-crypto policies over addressing issues faced by the working-class. As the U.S. prepares for leadership change with President-elect Trump, many crypto advocates hope for reduced regulatory pressure on the industry.

Deaton's proposal highlights the importance of fighting for truth and protecting the cryptocurrency industry from potential governmental interferences.
