#Ripple focuses on hiring in the United States amid optimism of #DonaldTrump towards cryptocurrencies
Ripple signed more agreements in the United States in six weeks than in the previous six months, highlighting market optimism of #TRUMP
On January 5, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse highlighted this strategic shift and revealed that three-quarters (75%) of the company's active job postings are now located in the United States. This move marks a significant change after years of focusing on international hiring due to regulatory hurdles in the country.
"75% of Ripple's job openings are now in the U.S., whereas in the last 4 years, the vast majority of hiring was done outside the U.S.".
Garlinghouse continued by saying that Ripple signed more U.S.-based agreements in the last six weeks of 2024 than in the previous six months, underscoring a significant change in its fortunes driven by Trump's victory.
Garlinghouse stated, "The year 2025 is already here and Trump's 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 very well-deserved."
Additionally, Garlinghouse also emphasized the importance of the new 119th Congress, which he described as the most pro-cryptocurrency legislature in U.S. history. He stressed the energy and enthusiasm being generated throughout the sector, indicating that this could be a transformative era for blockchain and cryptocurrencies in the United States.
