Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse posted on X: "2025 has arrived, and the Trump bull market has come true. For Ripple, this is even more personal after the SEC, under Gary Gensler's leadership, effectively froze our business opportunities domestically for years. The optimism is palpable and very much deserved. Nowadays: - 75% of Ripple's open positions are now in the United States, whereas the vast majority of hiring over the past four years has been outside the U.S.; - In the last six weeks of 2024 (since the election), we have signed more U.S. agreements than in the previous six months. Under the leadership of Scott Bessent, David Sacks, Paul Atkins, and others, the Trump team has begun to push for innovation and job growth in the U.S., and they haven't even taken office yet. In any case, the 'Trump effect' has made cryptocurrency great again—through his campaign and the priorities on the first day of his administration."
