Ripple, a major blockchain payments firm, has pledged an additional $25 million to the political action committee (PAC) Fairshake, aiming to support pro-crypto candidates in future US elections. This brings Ripple's total contributions to $45 million, making it one of the top backers alongside Coinbase and Andreessen Horowitz. Fairshake, with $103 million in its coffers, was a key player in the 2024 elections, backing candidates favoring crypto policies. With Republicans now controlling the presidency and Congress, the impact on crypto legislation remains uncertain. The PAC plans to focus on the 2026 elections.
