Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced that 75% of Ripple Labs’ job openings are now based in the United States. He also mentioned that the company has closed more deals and partnerships in the US since the November 2024 elections, compared to the previous six months.
Garlinghouse attributed this shift to the upcoming Trump administration and Donald Trump’s pro-crypto rhetoric. The CEO shared the following statement on X on January 5:
“Team Trump is already jumpstarting innovation and job growth in the US with Scott Bessent, David Sacks, Paul Atkins, and others at the helm — and they are not even in office yet! Say what you want, but the ‘Trump effect’ is already making crypto great again.”
