Chris Larsen is a San Francisco-area entrepreneur and early blockchain advocate who co-founded Ripple Labs in 2012, a pivotal move that positioned Ripple as a notable force in crypto-powered payments. Before embracing blockchain, Larsen built experience in fintech through Prosper, a peer-to-peer lending platform, from which he departed in 2012 to pursue opportunities in digital assets. His leadership at Ripple has been marked by ongoing governance involvement and a focus on accelerating money movement through crypto-enabled rails, with Larsen serving as a co-founder, executive chairman of Ripple’s board, and, at one stage, CEO. This combination of startup pragmatism and strategic governance underscored his standing as a prominent figure in the crypto and payments ecosystems.
