Ripple has shifted its focus back to the United States after Donald Trump‘s election victory in November 2024 sparked market-wide optimism.
On Jan. 5, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse highlighted this strategic pivot, revealing that three-quarters (75%) of the company’s active job listings are now based in the United States. The company has made a major shift in its recruitment strategy after focusing for years on overseas recruiting due to the regulatory obstacles at home.
Then he added:
“75% of Ripple’s open roles are now US-based, while over the last 4 years, the vast majority of hires were outside the US.”
Garlinghouse continued that Ripple signed more US-based deals in the last six weeks of 2024 than in the preceding six months, underscoring a significant turnaround in its fortunes sparked by Trump’s victory.
Garlinghouse was stated as:
“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 very deserved.”
Trump effect
Garlinghouse expressed enthusiasm for Trump’s incoming administration’s anticipated pro-crypto stance.
He said that President-elect Trump had already named several crypto-friendly people to high-ranking positions, including Scott Bessent David Sacks and Paul Atkins. Garlinghouse said that these appointments show a commitment to creating jobs and fostering innovation in the US, even before Trump takes office.
The broader crypto-community shares this optimism, and expects to see a change from previous enforcement-driven strategies. Many people believe that the Trump Administration will create a framework for clear regulation, allowing companies to prosper in a crypto friendly environment.
Garlinghouse also emphasized the importance of the newly-seated 119th Congress by calling it the “most pro-crypto” legislature in US History. He highlighted the growing energy in the industry, which could signal a transformational era for crypto and blockchain technology.
