Ripple Co-Founder Chris Larsen Pours $22.5M Into US Midterm Elections.

Ripple executive chairman Chris Larsen has contributed at least $22.5 million to federal candidates and Super PACs during the 2026 US midterm election cycle.

His contributions include $6 million to the renewable-energy-backed Tomorrow Coalition and more than $4 million to a Super PAC supporting AI safety advocate Alex Bores.

Larsen has raised concerns about rapid AI development and the lack of regulatory oversight, even proposing a pause on new AI infrastructure construction until regulatory rules are established.

Crypto money is entering the political arena. AI regulation and clean energy are now part of the battle.
