Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen is among Kamala Harris’ new corporate backers

While the combined industry effort tried to walk a tightrope between the two major political parties, Ripple’s donation tilted toward the Republican side in one key situation: trying to defeat crypto critic Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass. ) Garlinghouse, the company representative. The CEO also personally gave $50,000 to a super PAC that aims to build a Republican majority in the Senate, according to disclosures to the Federal Election Commission. So his political sympathies may be at odds with the letter Larsen signed, which favors a Democratic administration under Harris.
