Ahead of the upcoming US presidential election, Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen has pledged $10 million in crypto assets to the campaign of US Vice President Kamala Harris. Larsen stated that he believes Democrats need to update their approach to technology, especially the crypto world. While Ripple officials confirmed that the donation was Larsen's personal initiative, it was stated that the donation was made through a Democratic political action committee.
Larsen, who made a similar donation in August, emphasized that this time the contribution was outside the previous amount. While this move in support of Harris brought the impact of the US elections on the technology and crypto sector back to the agenda, Larsen's statements supporting his technology vision attracted attention.
