Ripple's Chris Larsen donates over $22.5M to 2026 US midterms

  • —Larsen gave $57,800 to the Abdul for Michigan Victory Fund and $18,500 to the Ohio Grassroots Victory Fund
  • —His cycle total exceeds $22.5 million, with the largest single donation of $6 million to Invest in Tomorrow Coalition
  • —Ripple contributed $48 million to Fairshake and about $49.6 million overall, ranking 17th among corporate donors
  • —Crypto firms and executives have donated over $176 million this cycle; top-50 donors account for about $2.77 billion
Why it matters: The crypto industry is building a bipartisan coalition after the CLARITY Act stalled, and donation volumes will shape congressional support for the sector.
