Donald Trump recently stirred up the XRP community by sharing two posts about Ripple on his Truth Social platform. The posts are seen as a nod to comments made by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, who discussed the positive business impact of Trump's reelection on Ripple's operations in the US.
Garlinghouse highlighted how Ripple secured more business deals in the US in the six weeks before Trump's inauguration than in the previous six months. This is attributed to the more favorable regulatory environment under Trump's leadership. As a result, Ripple has ramped up its domestic hiring, with 75% of its open roles now focused on US residents.
The XRP community is buzzing with speculation—could this hint at potential regulatory support for Ripple and XRP? Some believe that the Trump administration may even intervene in the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple, potentially withdrawing the appeal.
