這筆總額為 100 萬美元的 XRP 捐款直接捐給了支持哈里斯的政治行動委員會 (PAC) Future Forward USA
Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen has donated $1 million in XRP to support Vice President Kamala Harris's 2024 presidential campaign, financial journalist Eleanor Terrett has reported. The contribution is being directed to Future Forward USA, a political action committee supporting Harris. This marks Larsen's first recorded crypto donation and adds to his previous endorsement of Harris, which he announced in September. According to CNBC, Larsen's total financial support for Harris's campaign now exceeds $1.9 million as she seeks the presidency in the upcoming election.
根據財經記者 Eleanor Terrett 報道,Ripple 聯合創始人 Chris Larsen 捐贈了 100 萬美元的 XRP,以支持副總統卡瑪拉·哈里斯 (Kamala Harris) 的 2024 年總統競選。這筆捐款將直接捐給支持哈里斯的政治行動委員會 Future Forward USA。這標誌著拉森首次有記錄的加密貨幣捐贈,並增加了他先前在 9 月宣布的對哈里斯的支持。據 CNBC 報道,拉森為哈里斯競選總統提供的總財政支持現已超過 190 萬美元。
Larsen's involvement in the campaign comes as Ripple Labs is engaged in a prominent legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over whether XRP should be classified as a security. Both Ripple and the SEC have filed appeals following a ruling in August, and the proceedings remain active.
Larsen 參與這項活動之際,Ripple Labs 正與美國證券交易委員會就 XRP 是否應被歸類為證券展開一場重要的法律鬥爭。 Ripple 和 SEC 在 8 月的裁決後均已提起上訴,訴訟程序仍在進行中。
The donation highlights the increasing political influence of cryptocurrency and blockchain stakeholders, a trend observed across both major U.S. political parties. As digital assets gain prominence in the financial sector, the 2024 election cycle is seeing an unprecedented level of interest from crypto investors and advocates.
這項捐贈凸顯了加密貨幣和區塊鏈利益相關者日益增長的政治影響力,這是美國兩個主要政黨觀察到的趨勢。隨著數位資產在金融領域的地位日益凸顯,加密貨幣投資者和支持者對 2024 年選舉週期的興趣空前高漲。
While Kamala Harris has not made extensive public statements about cryptocurrency, her campaign has recently sought to engage with the crypto community. In early August, her team launched the "Crypto4Harris" initiative, which aims to foster dialogue with digital asset owners and develop a policy framework that supports the growing sector. This move is largely seen as a counter to Republican efforts to court the crypto vote, positioning Harris as a potential ally of the industry as regulatory conversations intensify.
雖然卡馬拉·哈里斯尚未就加密貨幣發表廣泛的公開聲明,但她的競選活動最近試圖與加密貨幣社群接觸。 8月初,她的團隊發起了「Crypto4Harris」倡議,旨在促進與數位資產所有者的對話,並制定支持不斷增長的行業的政策框架。此舉在很大程度上被視為對共和黨爭取加密貨幣投票努力的反擊,隨著監管對話的加劇,哈里斯將成為該行業的潛在盟友。
