Cryptocurrencies edge lower after last week’s bull run

The cryptocurrency trend was negative over the past 24 hours, mirroring the performance of leading stock market indices, following last week’s crypto rally. Investors are now eagerly waiting for the outcome of the US elections held in exactly two weeks as as there are no major macroeconomic data being released this week.

Crypto donors step up their pledges two weeks ahead of the elections

The pro-Bitcoin political action committee (PAC) Bitcoin Voter PAC launched crypto campaign ads supporting the Republican Texan Senator Ted Cruz, while the co-founder of Ripple Labs Chris Larsen announced he will donate an additional $10 million worth of XRP’s to the Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

“It's time for the Democrats to have a new approach to tech innovation, including crypto. I believe @KamalaHarris will ensure that American technology dominates the world, which is why I’m donating $10M in XRP in support of her,” Larsen said. He already donated $1 million worth of XRP back in August.

As for the CEO of Ripple, Brad Garlinghouse, he stressed that “Ripple will continue to engage with both Democrats and Republicans in the final days of the campaigns (and after the election) to promote pro-crypto policies. It’s not about party lines; it’s about championing policies that drive blockchain and crypto innovation.”
