Ripple Labs has announced a significant contribution of approximately 3.8 billion yen (around $25 million) to the Fairshake PAC, a super PAC focused on supporting crypto-friendly policies in the upcoming 2026 U.S. midterm elections. This donation is part of a larger fundraising effort by Fairshake PAC, which has reportedly secured a total of $103 million to date for the elections. The PAC aims to leverage this funding to influence congressional races and promote the interests of the cryptocurrency industry. Ripple's involvement underscores the growing financial clout of the crypto sector in U.S. politics, as evidenced by the PAC's total fundraising of $200 million aimed at boosting electoral success for crypto-friendly candidates.
