Ripple CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, recently shared his views on elections and voter expectations, emphasizing that voters increasingly care about cryptocurrencies, including Ripple’s native token, XRP.
Voter Interest in Crypto and XRP
In a post on X, Garlinghouse wrote: "Voters care about crypto – they care about XRP – this is not a fringe issue. They want real policy that drives innovation and creates jobs."
His statement was accompanied by a viral video where a voter asked Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, about the future of XRP in light of the recent SEC crackdown on cryptocurrencies. Musk avoided making any specific mention of XRP, saying he neither supports nor criticizes it, but added: "I believe that cryptocurrencies inherently contribute to individual freedom."
Candidates Ignoring Crypto Risk Losing Support
Garlinghouse also warned that candidates who ignore crypto and blockchain technology risk losing support from an informed and growing voter base.
Cryptocurrency has become a central theme in several election campaigns this season. Both voters and the crypto industry are looking forward to relaxed, crypto-friendly policies from the next administration. As a result, both presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Harris, are doing everything they can to appeal to this particular voter base.
Ripple Plays Both Sides
As crypto companies try to win over the next administration, Ripple is diplomatically playing both sides. On one hand, Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen donated $10 million to Harris’ campaign and affiliated organizations, while CTO David Schwartz recently supported Trump in his legal battle.
Since June, Trump has also received about $7.5 million in cryptocurrency donations, with a significant portion coming from Ripple and other crypto companies.
