Ripple Co-Founder Donates $1 Million in XRP to Harris, Marking Her First Crypto Donation

### Ripple Co-Founder Donates $1 Million in XRP to Harris, Marking Her First Crypto Donation Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen has donated $1 million in XRP to Vice President Kamala Harris, marking her first crypto donation. The donation was made to Future Forward, a PAC supporting Harris, according to a filing with the Federal Election Commission. Harris' campaign is reportedly not taking direct donations in cryptocurrency. Instead, Larsen's donation will be converted to US dollars and used to support Harris' reelection efforts. This is the first known instance of a major political candidate receiving a donation in cryptocurrency. It is a sign of the growing acceptance of cryptocurrency as a legitimate form of currency. It is also a sign of the growing influence of the cryptocurrency industry in politics. As more and more people invest in cryptocurrency, they are becoming more politically active and are looking for ways to support candidates who share their views on cryptocurrency. Larsen's donation is likely to be just the first of many cryptocurrency donations to political candidates. As the cryptocurrency industry continues to grow, it is likely that we will see more and more candidates accepting cryptocurrency donations.
