XRP Healthcare, a blockchain-based healthcare firm, has endorsed Donald Trump for president, highlighting a growing trend of crypto leaders voicing political support as the 2024 U.S. election approaches.
XRP Healthcare Sides with Trump in 2024 Race
XRP Healthcare, a healthcare firm built on the XRP Ledger, has openly supported Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for president.
By replying to the 78-year-old lawmaker's post on X with the hashtag #Trump2024Vance, the group showed their support for him. This shift demonstrates that leading protocols are slowly but surely voicing their support for the candidate of their choice.
Crypto Leaders Support Trump as Donations Surge
With only two months to go until the 2024 US presidential election, the stakes are higher than ever. There has been some movement in the recent odds for Donald Trump's and Kamala Harris's victories. Crypto donations have started flowing in to the self-proclaimed "crypto president" from prominent figures on the Web3.
Elon Musk and Justin Sun, creator of Tron, endorsed Trump after the first attempt at his life. Despite the fact that the DNC candidate is just now taking a position on cryptocurrency, she has already garnered the backing of numerous crypto-related individuals and groups.
The Vice President has lately garnered the support of eighty-eight prominent CEOs, both active and retired. Among them are Chris Larsen, Ripple's executive chairman; James Murdoch, a member of the Murdoch family and a media heir; and Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a philanthropist.
In a similar vein, Harris enjoys the support of international music star Taylor Swift. Because of this, the chances on Polymarket, a leading prediction market following the election, changed significantly.
Ripple’s CEO Joins Harris Supporters
The vice president, Coingape shares, are being backed by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, in contrast to XRP Healthcare's backing for Donald Trump.
There was a response from the crypto community to these understated recommendations. It is believed that prominent members of the crypto community and the wider crypto community will back a candidate who is completely in favor of cryptocurrency. Consequently, the decision made by the Ripple CEO was met with disappointment by many in the industry.
The crypto sector requires clarity and clear regulation, according to Garlinghouse, who also recommended them to maintain an open mind.
