In 2022, Ripple operated as though it had already lost the U.S. market, focusing most of its hiring efforts abroad.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1813px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/36crypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/xrp-break-o.webp?resize=1813%2C828&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"CoinStats - Ripple vs SEC Resolution: XRP to Surge THIS P...\" width=\"1813\" height=\"828\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">(<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/coinstats.app\/news\/c9255f5a4b6ccccf1caa0028b8d30783ce26f4e0269d3df39df8eeb1dae2ea57_Ripple-vs-SEC-Resolution%3A-XRP-to-Surge-THIS-Price-Afterwards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">XRP Vs.
