Chris Larsen, co-founder and chairman of Ripple, has donated more than $11.8 million to support Kamala Harris' campaign, making him one of the largest donors in the cryptocurrency industry this election cycle. In September, he contributed nearly $9.9 million to the PAC Future Forward and more than $800,000 to the Harris Victory Fund. These data were confirmed by analyst James Delmore and CNBC.
Larsen also donated $1 million in XRP tokens in August. He noted that his support for Harris is tied to her deep understanding of the technological economy, especially given her origins in Silicon Valley.
