Million

<p>In a political context where every dollar can influence the fate of a nation, Ripple, a giant in the blockchain field, has made a bold decision. With an additional contribution of <strong>$25 million</strong> to the Fairshake PAC, the company asserts its role in building a future where <strong>crypto</strong> is at the heart of American innovation and growth. But what is this financial commitment really hiding?</p> 
<h2 id="h-ripple-et-fairshake-une-alliance-strategique"><strong>Ripple and Fairshake: a strategic alliance</strong></h2> 
<p>Ripple is not content with merely building bridges between traditional financial systems and <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/et-la-blockchain-quest-ce-que-cest/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">blockchains</a>; the company is now inserting itself into the political machinery.</p>

</div> 
<p>Since 2024, it has injected <strong>$45 million</strong> into Fairshake, a political action committee aimed at promoting candidates supportive of crypto assets. This massive support, announced by Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, is not simply aimed at reinforcing a crypto presence in Washington, but at <strong>redefining the legislative landscape</strong>.</p> 
<p>Fairshake, with its $103 million available for the 2026 election cycle, is not an ordinary player. In 2024, about two-thirds of the congressional officials supported by this PAC took pro-crypto or crypto-neutral positions. Ripple is not betting blindly: it is a concerted strategy to shape a Congress more favorable to the industry.</p> 
<p>The scope of this influence transcends partisan lines. Although the PAC supports candidates from all backgrounds, recent election results show a resurgence of Republicans, with complete control of federal institutions. Ripple, like other giants such as Coinbase and Jump Crypto, seems to want to leverage this political context to accelerate the adoption of blockchain technologies.</p> 
<h2 id="h-les-enjeux-d-une-politique-pro-crypto"><strong>The stakes of a pro-crypto policy</strong></h2> 
<p>The support from Ripple and Fairshake goes far beyond mere electoral funding. It is about <strong>laying the groundwork for a <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/dernieres-evolutions-de-la-reglementation-crypto-dans-lue-et-aux-usa-en-2023-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">favorable regulation</a></strong> for digital assets in the United States.</p> 
<p>Legislation like the “Financial Innovation and Technology Act” and stablecoin legislation could soon return to the center of debates. But with a Republican majority in power, the future of crypto policies remains uncertain.</p> 
<p>Ripple and <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/fairshake-super-pac-raising-us-midterms" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fairshake</a> know that the battle will be fought on multiple fronts. Among them, the key Senate election in Ohio, where the PAC has declared its intention to destabilize Sherrod Brown, a staunch critic of crypto. The goal? To ensure that influential seats in Congress are occupied by advocates of financial innovation.</p> 
<p class="has-medium-font-size">However, Ripple’s massive funding is not limited to altruistic ideals. This strategy reflects a <strong>pragmatic vision</strong>: the more lawmakers understand the benefits of cryptocurrencies, the less the industry will face restrictive regulations. This game of influence can also guarantee <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/xrp-etf-from-ripple-the-crypto-ready-for-an-imminent-takeoff/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ripple a privileged position</a> in a rapidly changing market.</p>
