Chris Larsen, co-founder of Ripple, has made a significant contribution to Vice President Kamala Harris' election campaign, donating $10 million in XRP, Ripple’s native cryptocurrency.
Larsen's donation reflects his confidence in Harris' ability to foster technological innovation, particularly in the realm of cryptocurrencies. He believes her leadership will bring a forward-thinking approach to tech policy, helping to ensure the United States maintains its competitive edge in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
While Larsen’s support highlights a growing intersection between political campaigns and the cryptocurrency industry, opinions within the sector remain divided. Notably, other prominent figures such as the Winklevoss twins and Kraken’s CEO, Jesse Powell, have voiced their backing for former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
This divergence underscores the broader political engagement of key players in the crypto space, with different visions for the future of regulation and innovation.
