Stuart Alderoty, Ripple's general counsel, criticized Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren's efforts to build an anti-cryptocurrency coalition today via Twitter.

"Before other politicians join Sen. Warren’s anti-crypto army, remember her 2020 campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination failed so miserably she dropped out after being declared unelectable," he said. 

Alderoty's tweet follows Warren's re-election campaign post earlier this week, which mentioned her intention to create a united front against the rapidly growing digital asset industry.
