BusinessReutersCrypto industry's lobbying drive will pay off in US elections, Ripple president says
The president of U.S. crypto firm Ripple is "optimistic" that a lobbying push by the crypto industry will yield results in this year's U.S. elections, after her company helped the industry lead a record fundraising haul to back political candidates who are crypto-friendly. San Francisco-based Ripple is the second-largest donor to Fairshake, a so-called super PAC, which has raised $92.9 million in a bid to influence the congressional elections in November in favor of the crypto industry, according to OpenSecrets, a research group that tracks influence in politics. Independent political action committees known as super PACs may raise unlimited sums of money from corporations, unions, associations and individuals, then spend unlimited sums to overtly advocate for or against political candidates.
