Ripple Co-Founder Chris Larsen Endorses Kamala Harris
Subject: "Ripple Executives Endorse Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris"
@Roy, I'm assigning this request to you. Several corporate leaders have written a letter endorsing Kamala Harris. Can you analyze the legal and economic implications of this? You're the expert, so I'm counting on you.
Yes, we will prepare.
Let's start market analysis.
Recently, news broke that Chris Larsen, co-founder and chairman of the board of Ripple, participated in a letter supporting presidential candidate Kamala Harris. This letter included notable figures such as Aaron Levie, Jeremy Stoppelman, Michael Lynton, and James Murdoch, alongside major U.S. business leaders. This signifies the growing political influence within the cryptocurrency and blockchain technology sectors.
An especially interesting point is that former Ripple director Gene Sperling also left the White House to join Harris's 2024 presidential campaign. Sperling served as an economic advisor under Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and has been working as an economic advisor in President Joe Biden's administration. Given this background, Sperling’s inclusion will add economic expertise and experience in the cryptocurrency field to Harris's campaign.
Meanwhile, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse predicted that SEC Chairman Gary Gensler would step down regardless of who wins the election. This could lead to significant changes in cryptocurrency regulation. The regulation direction of the cryptocurrency market could change substantially depending on the election outcome, which could have a major impact on the market.
Another important fact is that Harris's campaign can accept cryptocurrency donations through the Future Forward political action committee. This indicates the growing role of cryptocurrency as a significant tool in political campaigns. Former President Donald Trump has also strongly supported cryptocurrency, repeatedly stating that he would make America the global hub for cryptocurrency and Bitcoin.
In this regard, ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood also expressed her support for Trump, stating that she supports the candidate most beneficial to the economy. Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, co-founders of the Gemini exchange, also pledged to donate one million dollars in BTC to Trump's re-election campaign.
As such, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology play a significant role in political and economic matters, and the outcome of the upcoming U.S. presidential election is expected to have a considerable impact on this field. Regulatory changes and policy directions could lead to market volatility, which will also have widespread effects on the global cryptocurrency market.
Therefore, it is essential to keep a close watch on how these political movements will impact the market and industry in the future.
