Ripple Pledges $5M in XRP to Donald Trump’s Inauguration Fund
In a recent development, Ripple has pledged a staggering $5 million in XRP to support the inauguration festivities of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance. This substantial donation is part of a record-breaking $200 million raised by the Trump-Vance inaugural committee so far, significantly surpassing the amounts collected for Trump’s 2017 inauguration and Joe Biden’s 2021 inaugural team.
The three-day celebration, scheduled to take place around January 20, will feature parades, galas, and dinners. The event will be funded by contributions from various industries, including crypto, demonstrating a strong commitment to blockchain innovation.
Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, expressed optimism about the administration’s approach to crypto, stating that “trusted, knowledgeable crypto advocates like Paul Atkins and David Sacks appointed in the Trump Administration, the future of the crypto industry looks nothing but promising.”
