Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen is throwing his weight behind Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming US presidential election. He’s pledging a whopping $10 million worth of XRP, Ripple’s cryptocurrency, to support her campaign.
Larsen says he believes Harris will be the best leader to drive American tech innovation, including crypto, to dominate the world.
Ripple CEO Wants Crypto-Friendly Policies, Not Just One Party
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse says the company will be working with both Democrats and Republicans to create a more crypto-friendly environment in the US. He’s not picking sides, just pushing for policies that support blockchain and crypto innovation.
