**Crypto News Flash: Ripple Co-Founder Donates $1M in XRP to Harris Campaign**

Federal Election Commission records reveal that Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen donated 1,754,815.29 XRP, valued at $1 million, to the Harris-Walz 2024 Presidential campaign. This marks the first documented crypto contribution to the Harris campaign, made on August 14, 2024, to the pro-Harris Future Forward PAC.

Future Forward, which has collected over $200 million as of October 2024, confirmed it accepts crypto donations for Harris. In September, Larsen, along with 87 corporate executives, pledged support for Harris, highlighting her pro-business stance.

Crypto industry advocates are also raising $100,000 to influence Harris's digital asset policy. In response, Harris's campaign emphasized a commitment to innovative technologies like AI and digital assets, though it echoed previous administration policies.
