The latest plot twist in the political thriller known as the 2024 election involves none other than Ripple, the company that brought us XRP—and a whole lot of intrigue involving, well, Kamala Harris!
The Catch That Could Shake Crypto
In a move that would make even the most seasoned blockchain skeptic raise an eyebrow, Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen has joined forces with 88 other high-profile business leaders to endorse Vice President Harris for president. Yes, you heard that right: Harris, the same VP who’s been juggling her duties while the crypto space rolls its eyes at SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s regulatory antics.
This endorsement is like a spicy NFT drop—a blend of excitement, confusion, and a hefty dose of “Wait, what?” Because while Ripple’s move might seem like a bold step into political waters, there’s a catch that even the most seasoned DeFi pro would find perplexing. 😲✨

Ripple’s Unexpected Harris Play
First off, let’s talk about Ripple’s own Brad Garlinghouse, who recently predicted that no matter which presidential candidate wins, Gary Gensler’s reign as SEC chairman is toast. Could this be a strategic play to sweeten the deal for Harris? Or is it just another day in the life of a company caught in a perpetual regulatory headlock? 🤔📉
And what about Gene Sperling, Ripple’s former board member turned Harris campaigner? Is he cashing in his crypto chips for a presidential ticket, or just flexing his networking muscles in a high-stakes game of political poker? 💼💸
Meanwhile, David Plouffe, who previously had ties to Binance and Alchemy Pay, is now in the Harris camp, proving that in the world of crypto politics, allegiances can shift faster than the price of Bitcoin on a volatile Tuesday. 🚀🔄
Harris Allies or Political Pawns?
This endorsement raises some tantalizing questions for the crypto community: Is this a strategic alliance designed to curry favor with a potential future president? Or is it just a case of corporate leaders playing their cards in a high-stakes gamble, hoping that their chosen candidate will clean up the regulatory mess they’re all too familiar with?
So, dear readers, as we ride this rollercoaster of political endorsements and crypto drama, let’s buckle up and enjoy the ride. Because in the world of digital assets and politics, the only certainty is that things will get even more interesting—just don’t ask us to predict what’ll happen next. 😆📊
