šŸšØ $XRP Co-founder Makes $1M Donation to Kamala Harris

Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen has donated 1,754,815.29 XRP (valued at $1 million) to support Kamala Harrisā€™s bid for the Oval Office. This donation, revealed by Federal Election Commission (FEC) records, marks the first crypto donation to the Harris campaign via the pro-Harris Future Forward PAC.

With election odds putting Harris at a 45.9% chance of winning, the XRP contribution is more than just a financial boostā€”it signals a push by the crypto community to sway her stance on digital assets. Future Forward has raised over $200 million, and its acceptance of crypto donations highlights the growing influence of digital currencies in politics.

Larsen isnā€™t alone in his support. He joined 87 other corporate leaders in signing a letter praising Harris for fostering business investment and innovation in the U.S. The letter emphasized the importance of having a President who supports American industries, with Ripple playing a pivotal role in the crypto space.

Crypto advocates have been working hard to shift Harris's stance on digital assets. After receiving industry pressure, she finally addressed the issue in late September, stating her administration would encourage innovative technologies like AI and digital assets while protecting consumers. However, her statement largely mirrored the Biden administration's earlier position, showing no major policy shift.

Do you think the support is legitimate or a bribery attempt?
