Chris Larsen, the co-founder of Ripple, has made headlines again by donating a substantial $10 million in XRP to <a href="https://optimisus.com/press-releases/donald-trump-barrels-ahead-of-kamala-harris-in-us-presidential-elections-poll-is-this-good-or-bad-for-crypto/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Kamala Harris&#39;s presidential campaign</a>. This marks his second significant contribution in a short span, following a previous donation of $1 million earlier this month.Larsen is optimistic that Harris will champion technological innovation and advocate for crypto-friendly policies within the Democratic Party, especially as many in the tech sector seem to favor Donald Trump.Larsen has voiced his belief that the <a href="https://optimisus.com/market/market-news/kamala-harris-pledges-to-expand-crypto-and-ai-sectors-in-her-presidential-campaign/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Democratic Party</a> needs to adopt a more progressive approach to technology and cryptocurrency. He stated, &#34;It&#39;s time for the Democrats to embrace a more forward-thinking stance on technology. I believe Kamala Harris will help the U.S. lead in global tech, and that’s why I’m contributing $10 million to her campaign.&#34;Despite Ripple&#39;s ongoing legal challenges with the SEC, which have escalated under the current Democratic administration, Larsen continues to support the party. Ripple is currently engaged in a lengthy legal battle and has recently filed a cross-appeal for more clarity in its case.Ripple&#39;s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, has shown solidarity with Larsen&#39;s contributions and emphasized the company&#39;s commitment to collaborating with both political parties to advocate for more favorable regulations for cryptocurrency.In addition to his personal donations, Ripple has been politically active, contributing $50 million to Fairshake, a super PAC that supports pro-crypto candidates from both major parties, including notable figures like Bernie Moreno and Patrick McHenry.
