Ripple’s US expansion amid Donald Trump-driven optimism

A Ripple Ripple Inc. is making a significant expansion in the US amid Donald Trump-fueled optimism. Ripple has made a major shift in its operations, with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse revealing that 75% of the company’s job openings are now based in the US.

“75% of Ripple’s open positions are now based in the US, whereas over the past 4 years, the vast majority of hiring has been outside the US,” the company’s CEO highlighted in a post on the X platform.

The significant shift in the company's stance comes as Ripple has been ramping up its negotiations and partnerships, surpassing the number of deals made in the six months before Trump's election in November.

For Garlinghouse, the new momentum in the sector was driven by pro-crypto rhetoric, as well as policies focused on innovation that are valued in the Trump administration. At the time, the executive praised the positive vision led by the administration in order to revitalize the cryptocurrency industry.

“We signed more deals in the US in the last six weeks of 2024 (since the election) than in the previous six MONTHS. The Trump team is already driving innovation and job growth in the US with Scott Bessent, David Sacks, Paul Atkins and others at the helm, and they’re not even in office yet! Say what you will, but the “Trump effect” is already making crypto great again – through his campaign and in the Administration’s Day XNUMX priorities.” wrote Garlinghouse.

In an optimistic statement, Garlinghouse highlighted the importance of the administration of US President-elect Donald Trump in boosting hiring and partnerships in the country, pointing to a more favorable regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies.

“2025 is here and the Trump bull market is real. For Ripple, this is even more personal after Gensler’s SEC effectively froze our business opportunities here at home for years. The optimism is obvious and well-deserved.”
