Eighty-eight business leaders, including Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen, have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president, in a new letter shared by CNBC on Friday. Some crypto investors are puzzled by Larsen’s move, given the Biden administration’s stringent regulatory stance on cryptocurrency and its ongoing lawsuit against Ripple. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been actively cracking down on crypto firms, with Ripple being a prime target in a high-profile legal battle over whether XRP, Ripple’s native cryptocurrency, is a security. Larsen’s support comes at a time when crypto executives are divided over the administration’s approach. Other notable signatories include Shark Tank investor Mark Cuban and Sean Parker, founder of Napster.
