Larsen’s Donation Follows Public Endorsement

In September, Larsen was among 88 executives who signed a public letter endorsing Harris for president. He has now donated over $19 million total to her campaign, according to CNBC.

The donation comes as Ripple continues its legal battle with the SEC. Both sides have filed appeals after a final judgment in August. They seem set to continue the conflict that began in 2020.

Larsen’s History as Ripple Co-Founder

Larsen co-founded Ripple as OpenCoin in 2012. In 2016, he stepped down as CEO, replaced by current head Brad Garlinghouse. However, Larsen has remained the company’s executive chairman.

Harris Shifts Stance on Cryptocurrencies

This year marked the first time cryptos became a major issue in a presidential campaign. In September, Harris released a policy document signaling support for “innovative technologies like crypto.” This contrasted Trump’s consistently pro-crypto approach.

The donation of $1 million in XRP from Larsen to Harris provides an interesting intersection of cryptocurrency and national politics. As the legal battle between Ripple and the SEC continues, it will be worth watching to see if Harris’ stance on crypto evolves further.
