According to Cointelegraph, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren has urged the Justice Department and the Treasury Department to investigate potential national security risks associated with decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges, specifically PancakeSwap and Uniswap. In a letter addressed to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, Warren questioned whether their departments were examining the threats posed by these platforms. She expressed concerns about the Trump administration's alleged political influence over the enforcement of crypto regulations and reports of money laundering linked to North Korea. Warren requested a response by January 12. The Massachusetts senator emphasized the importance of understanding these risks as Congress considers legislation on crypto market structure. This includes measures to prevent the misuse of decentralized finance (DeFi) by terrorists, criminals, and rogue states. Warren stressed the public's right to know if these risks are being seriously investigated by national security experts and the crypto industry. Her letter coincided with the U.S. Senate's preparations to conclude its activities before the holiday break. Some Republicans on the Banking Committee had anticipated addressing the digital market structure bill, known as the Responsible Financial Innovation Act, before the year's end. However, Chair Tim Scott announced that a markup hearing on the legislation had been postponed to 2026. Warren also highlighted concerns about PancakeSwap's efforts to promote coins issued by World Liberty Financial, a crypto company associated with the Trump family. This has raised questions among some Senate Democrats about potential conflicts of interest and the influence of U.S. President Donald Trump on the legislation, given his family's ties to the crypto industry. In related news, John Deaton, a lawyer who challenged Warren in the 2024 U.S. election, has announced his intention to run for Congress again. Deaton, known for advocating on behalf of XRP holders, plans to run as a Republican for the U.S. Senate in 2026. Although Warren is not up for reelection next year, Deaton aims to unseat Democratic Senator Ed Markey.
