Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen has made the first documented cryptocurrency donation to a U.S. Democratic presidential candidate by contributing $1 million in XRP to a super PAC supporting Kamala Harris. According to new Federal Election Commission filings, the donation was made to Future Forward USA, a leading political action committee backing Harris' presidential campaign on August 14. This significant contribution highlights Ripple's unique stance in the cryptocurrency industry, as most companies in the sector have not engaged in such political donations.
