Odaily Planet Daily News Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated that due to optimistic expectations regarding the Trump administration's policies, Ripple's business in the U.S. market has significantly grown. Garlinghouse mentioned that the trading volume in the U.S. signed by Ripple in the last six weeks of 2024 exceeded the total of the previous six months, and 75% of the new positions have been concentrated in the U.S. This change is attributed to the Trump administration being seen as more friendly towards cryptocurrency and prioritizing innovation and job growth. Ripple has donated $5 million worth of XRP to support Trump's upcoming presidential inauguration. Since Trump's election, the price of XRP has risen by over 300%, and the increase in trading volume in the South Korean market has also driven the price volatility and overall upward trend of XRP.
