Ripple Co-Founder Donates $10 Million in XRP to Harris

Ripple’s co-founder is once again flexing his financial muscles in the political arena, donating a casual $10 million worth of XRP tokens to support Kamala Harris. You know, just your average Tuesday donation, no big deal. This marks yet another instance of crypto-powered political backing, as if we weren’t already living in a financial simulation. With Ripple’s ongoing legal battles, it seems they’re not afraid to sprinkle some XRP love in the political scene while they navigate choppier waters.

Komainu’s First Acquisition: Nomura-Backed Custody Firm Makes a Move

Komainu, the crypto custody firm backed by Japan’s Nomura Holdings, is diving headfirst into the acquisition game. This marks their first-ever acquisition, which has the crypto world buzzing about what Komainu’s next play could be. It’s like Komainu is saying, “Hey, we’re not just holding your digital assets, we’re expanding our empire!” With institutional players like Nomura in the mix, Komainu’s shopping spree might just be getting started.

It’s like watching a political rollercoaster, except this one might have a few more Twitter rants. With Polymarket traders backing Trump with this confidence, we could be in for one wild election season. Whether it’s polling magic or just people hedging their bets, one thing’s for sure—this race is heating up.
