The XRP price has climbed 2% in the last 24 hours to trade at $0.5324<\/a> as of 6:30 a.m. EST on a 22% drop in trading volume to $1.2 billion.<\/p>\n

This comes after Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen’s donated $1 million in XRP to support US Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n

It’s the first time Harris has received a cryptocurrency donation, highlighting Ripple’s support for her campaign, despite the company’s ongoing legal battle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).<\/p>\n
