Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse offered his most positive statements about Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris to date on Wednesday, while attempting to toe his company’s official line of neutrality on the 2024 U.S. presidential election. 

During an onstage appearance at D.C. Fintech Week this afternoon, the crypto executive appeared to compliment what he saw as the sophistication of Harris’ approach to digital assets, in contrast with the strategy of her election opponent, former president Donald Trump. 

“Obviously, Trump came out early and very aggressively… and said he’s the crypto president,” Garlinghouse said. “Kamala and Team Harris have been more nuanced.”

The Ripple chief went on to laud Harris for announcing last week that she would support a crypto regulatory framework if elected, calling the statement “most constructive.”

While Garlinghouse conceded that Vice President Harris has been “relatively quiet” about crypto compared with Trump, he framed the Democratic nominee as a “pro-technology” leader with roots in Silicon Valley.
