On January 8, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty dined with Trump at Mar-a-Lago and announced this news in a tweet on X. This meeting is seen as Ripple advising Trump on cryptocurrency regulatory policies, following Ripple's legal victory against the U.S. SEC, where XRP was not deemed a security sale. This victory has heightened community expectations for XRP's subsequent listing as a spot ETF.

The Ripple CEO stated that with Trump's re-election and the bullish market impact stemming from Trump, the company is gradually shifting its business focus back to the United States, bringing more job opportunities. He pointed out that 75% of job openings are in the domestic U.S., a reversal of the strategy to expand overseas due to SEC pressure over the past few years.

At the same time, Ripple has also discussed how to reform the regulatory framework to support digital asset innovation with political and blockchain leaders such as Senator Cynthia Lummis and future SEC Chairman Paul Atkins. Its strong government relations have contributed to impressive price performance, making it one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies in terms of market capitalization growth recently, even surpassing USDT at one point to become the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, positioning it as one of the key tokens benefiting from Trump's deregulation efforts.
