Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has highlighted the positive impact that Donald Trump’s victory has had on Ripple’s business. Garlinghouse also referenced the “Trump bull market,” which undoubtedly provides a bullish outlook for coins like XRP.
Brad Garlinghouse Highlights Trump’s Impact On Ripple
In an X post, Brad Garlinghouse discussed the impact of Donald Trump’s election victory on Ripple’s operations. He revealed that 75% of the company’s open roles are now US-based.
This represents a change, as Garlinghouse noted that over the last four years, most of the company’s hires were outside the US. Furthermore, the Ripple CEO revealed they had signed more US deals in the last six weeks of 2024 (since Trump’s victory) than in the previous six months.
Trump’s victory has undoubtedly provided a bullish outlook for the crypto industry because of his pro-crypto stance. Brad Garlinghouse remarked that Team Trump is already jumpstarting innovation and job growth in the US with Scott Bessent, David Sacks, Paul Atkins, and others at the helm.
He added that the “Trump effect” is already making crypto great again through his campaign and in the Administration’s day 1 priority. Ripple looks to have really benefitted greatly from this Trump effect.
The crypto firm finally launched its RLUSD stablecoin after the US president-elect defeated Kamala Harris in November last year. The RLUSD stablecoin has already enjoyed significant success, as it recently flipped PYUSD and EURC in 24-hour trading volume.
The “Trump Bull Market” Is Real
In his X post, Brad Garlinghouse also stated that the “Trump bull market” is real. He remarked that for Ripple, this bull market is even more personal after Gary Gensler’s SEC effectively froze their business opportunities in the US for years.
He added that optimism about the bull market is obvious and very deserved. This Trump bull market undoubtedly provides a bullish outlook for the XRP price especially.
With pro-crypto Paul Atkins set to lead the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Trump’s Administration, the Commission could drop its long-running lawsuit against Ripple and Brad Garlinghouse.
This is bullish for XRP because of the crypto’s ties with Ripple. The coin is believed to have remained stagnant in the 2021 bull run because of the lawsuit.
