Messari Founder Declares XRP “Dead” Amid Ripple Founder’s $10M XRP Donation to Harris Campaign

Chris Larsen, co-founder of Ripple Labs, has donated $10 million in XRP to support Vice President Kamala Harris's 2024 election campaign through the Future Forward super PAC. Larsen emphasized the need for Democrats to adopt a new approach to tech innovation, including crypto. This donation has drawn mixed reactions from the crypto community, with some criticizing Larsen and calling for the end of XRP, while others view the backlash as unwarranted. Larsen's significant donation represents a broader shift in the involvement of the crypto industry in U.S. elections. While many in the crypto space lean towards Republican candidates, Larsen stands out as a leading donor for Harris.
