The year 2025 marks a significant turning point for Ripple as the company strengthens its presence in the U.S. amidst political changes and high-level cryptocurrency support.
Ripple's Return to the U.S.
Ripple's CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, announced the company's return to the U.S. market, seizing opportunities created by political shifts. After facing regulatory challenges in the past, Ripple now focuses on U.S.-based hiring, with 75% of its new positions located in the country. Brad mentions that in the last six weeks of 2024, Ripple signed more deals in the U.S. than in the previous six months.
Crypto Support in Congress
Brad Garlinghouse also pointed out that the 119th Congress is the most pro-crypto in history. With significant contributions from the crypto elite, the new Congress aims to tackle key industry challenges. Their demands include halting SEC lawsuits and establishing a U.S. Bitcoin reserve.
Changes in Global Finance
Significant changes are occurring globally in the financial sector. Some countries are part of initiatives to reduce reliance on the dollar, like mBridge. Russia and other nations are developing their own payment networks for cross-border transactions. In Asia, the focus is on asset tokenization, expected to reach $4 trillion by 2030.
Strategic changes in policy and financial systems open new opportunities for Ripple and other crypto market players. These shifts could significantly alter the global financial landscape in the coming years.
