I read that "
Ripple Labs Founder Donates Another $10 Million in XRP to Support Kamala Harris," and we all know Ripple still has that ongoing SEC case. By principle, politicians shouldn't take gifts that could mess with their decision-making. So, what if Kamala becomes president? Ripple will definitely expect something back for their support.
And what if politicians take donations in altcoins, like how Trump also received some? Does that mean their decisions on regulations could end up favoring altcoins over Bitcoin?
The first rule for candidates who are currently fighting in politics is that any type of donation is not a problem, they don't care what they donate because as long as it can provide additional funds for the campaign it will always be accepted. Elon Musk as Trump winning team poured out $1 million for one person in a certain area who has the right to vote in the upcoming election and now it is worth more than $75 trillion.
Kamala policy is very much against Bitcoin and it is in line with the Biden administration. However there are exceptions during the campaign period and she does not want to limit the voices of her supporters so donations from Ripple which is undergoing a long case are still welcomed. Maybe Ripple goal in becoming a donor is to make a special request if Kamala is elected later.
