According to Cointelegraph, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse revealed that 75% of Ripple Labs' job vacancies are currently in the United States, and the company has made more deals and collaborations in the US after the November 2024 elections than in the previous six months.
Garlinghouse attributes these changes to the upcoming Trump administration and Trump's pro-cryptocurrency remarks. In a post on January 5th, Garlinghouse wrote: "The Trump team has already been promoting innovation and job growth in America under the leadership of Scott Bessent, David Sacks, Paul Atkins etc. - they haven't even taken office yet; say what you will but 'the Trump effect' has once again made cryptocurrency great."
