The leaders of crypto companies, including Coinbase, Ripple, and Andreessen Horowitz, have seen a significant increase in their personal fortunes following the outcome of the recent U.S. elections. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong sold a total of $437 million worth of his company's shares after the pro-crypto sentiment surged following the election results, earning him an additional $129 million in wealth. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse saw his holdings of XRP multiply over three times as the token's price surged, likely boosting his personal wealth. The financial gains of Mark Andreessen and Ben Horowitz are less clear, but they have likely gained significantly from their investments in various crypto companies. The Fairshake super PAC, backed by these crypto leaders, became the most powerful corporate campaign-finance effort in the 2024 elections.
