Ripple Expands US Workforce by 75% After Elections: Is the SEC Lawsuit Ending Soon?

Story Highlights
  • Ripple's CLO praises new U.S. administration for crypto-friendly policies, boosting domestic hiring and innovation.

  • Ripple moves 75% of hiring onshore, citing U.S. crypto reforms and SEC case developments as key drivers of growth.

Rippleโ€™s CLO stuart alderoty recently shared his thoughts on the new U.S. administrationโ€™s approach to cryptocurrency.ย  In an interview with CNBC, Alderoty expressed his satisfaction with the changes brought about by the new administration.ย 

He explained that the previous administration had essentially waged a “war” on crypto, pushing the industry out of the U.S. in favor of restrictive policies. However, since the inauguration, Alderoty praised the new administration for embracing cryptocurrency and clearing obstacles that had been stifling innovation.

Ripple’s Onshore Hiring Surge Amid SEC Case

Alderoty revealed that Ripple, which has been based in the U.S. for over 12 years, is benefiting from these shifts. He said that following the election, 75% of Rippleโ€™s hiring efforts, which were previously offshore, are now being brought back onshore in the U.S. The company is eager to build and expand its operations domestically, with the belief that the U.S. can once again become the global leader in cryptocurrency technology.

These changes come amid the ongoing SEC case, which has been dragging on for four years. The updates have left many wondering if the case might be coming to an end soon.

Rippleโ€™s Response to U.S. Crypto Reform

When discussing U.S. crypto reform, Alderoty outlined three major forces shaping the landscape: President Trumpโ€™s executive order, changes in federal regulation, and legislative action from Congress. He stressed the importance of the executive order, which reaffirms the U.S.’s goal of becoming the โ€œcrypto capital of the world.โ€ The order has sparked a series of positive regulatory developments, including the appointment of David Sacks as the โ€œcrypto czar,โ€ who is leading a task force to review and update crypto regulations.

Additionally, Alderoty praised the actions of the SECโ€™s acting chair, Mark Uyeda, who recently acknowledged the regulatory confusion of the past few years. Alderoty is optimistic that these changes will make it easier for banks to engage with crypto, further positioning the U.S. as a favorable environment for crypto innovation.
