Ripple Co-Founder Chris Larsen has joined a group of corporate leaders in endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential election.

Ripple 聯合創始人 Chris Larsen 與一群企業領導人一起支持副總統卡馬拉·哈里斯 (Kamala Harris) 參加 2024 年總統選舉。

The endorsement, which was announced in a letter on Friday, comes as Harris prepares to launch her campaign for the Democratic nomination. Larsen is one of 88 corporate leaders who signed the letter, which includes executives from Yelp, Box, and Snapchat.

哈里斯在周五的一封信中宣布了這項支持，正值哈里斯準備發起民主黨提名競選活動。拉森是簽署這封信的 88 名企業領導人之一，其中包括 Yelp、Box 和 Snapchat 的高階主管。

"We, the undersigned business leaders, are writing to express our enthusiastic support for Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for the presidency of the United States," the letter reads. "Harris possesses the experience, temperament, and vision to lead our nation effectively."

信中寫道：“我們，以下簽名的商界領袖，寫信表達我們對副總統卡馬拉·哈里斯競選美國總統的熱情支持。” “哈里斯擁有有效領導我們國家的經驗、氣質和遠見。”

The endorsement highlights Harris's commitment to "fair and consistent policies that uphold the rule of law, foster stability, and create a business environment conducive to innovation and job creation."

這項支持強調了哈里斯對「維護法治、促進穩定並創造有利於創新和創造就業機會的商業環境的公平和一致的政策」的承諾。

The letter also praises Harris's work on issues such as climate change, gun violence, and reproductive rights.

這封信也讚揚了哈里斯在氣候變遷、槍支暴力和生殖權利等議題上的工作。

"We believe that Harris will champion policies that will strengthen the economy, protect our environment, and ensure that all Americans have the opportunity to succeed," the letter concludes.

信中總結道：“我們相信哈里斯將支持加強經濟、保護環境並確保所有美國人都有成功機會的政策。”

The endorsement is notable given Ripple's close ties to the cryptocurrency industry. Harris has not yet taken a public stance on cryptocurrencies, but her running mate, Joe Biden, has expressed support for digital assets and the underlying blockchain technology.

鑑於 Ripple 與加密貨幣行業的密切聯繫，這項認可值得注意。哈里斯尚未對加密貨幣採取公開立場，但她的競選搭檔喬·拜登表達了對數位資產和底層區塊鏈技術的支持。

In recent months, several crypto firms have made substantial contributions to Harris's campaign. In October, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried donated $2 million to Harris's Victory Fund, while BlockFi executives contributed a combined $75,000 to her campaign.

近幾個月來，幾家加密貨幣公司為哈里斯的競選活動做出了重大貢獻。 10 月，FTX 創辦人 Sam Bankman-Fried 向 Harris 的勝利基金捐贈了 200 萬美元，而 BlockFi 高層則為她的競選活動總共捐贈了 75,000 美元。

Harris is expected to formally announce her candidacy for the presidency in the coming weeks. She will face several Democratic challengers, including Senators Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota.

哈里斯預計將在未來幾週內正式宣布競選總統。她將面臨幾位民主黨挑戰者，包括新澤西州參議員科里·布克、紐約州參議員克爾斯滕·吉利布蘭德和明尼蘇達州參議員艾米·克洛布查爾。
