Ripple is tapping into the market in Canada with a new office in Toronto. The company also plans to hire engineers and other specialists.
American currency exchange and payment network Ripple has announced a new office in Toronto, Canada. The new physical office is Ripple’s first in Canada and will serve as an engineering hub for North American growth support. Ripple announced this in a recent press release.
According to CEO Brad Garlinghouse:
„Продолжуваме да се зголемуваме и инвестираме во нашиот бизнис со проширување на нашето присуство на глобално ниво со нашата прва канцеларија во Торонто.
Ripple intends to hire up to 50 engineers in Toronto, including blockchain software engineers. This projected engineering horde would encompass specialists in various fields such as applied machine learning science, data science, and product management. Speaking directly to this development, Garlinghouse explained:
„Крипто и блокчејн претставуваат неверојатна можност за инженерите да се справат со тешките проблеми, со потенцијал овие решенија да влијаат на движењето на вредноста низ целиот свет“.
Also, Ripple intends to increase its staff strength amid the recent spate of layoffs, downsizing, and hiring freezes by other crypto firms. Crypto exchange and custodian Gemini announced its intent to downsize its staff force by 10% earlier in the month.
Furthermore, crippling market conditions in both the traditional and crypto marketplaces have seen firms like Celsius Network freeze customer withdrawals.
Nonetheless, Ripple remains committed to onboarding premium talent to propel its innovation and client service “for years to come”. Furthermore, the company’s hiring plan seems to be an extension of last year’s developments. In 2021 alone, Ripple also opened strategic offices in key cities such as Miami and Dublin.

Ripple’s Toronto office launch underscores the company’s commitment to a region already seen as a tech hub. Speaking on this development, John Tory, Mayor of the City of Toronto, offered:
„Воодушевен сум што Ripple пушта корени во Торонто, каде што знаеме дека компанијата ќе може да има корист од висококвалификуваниот технички талент, растечкиот екосистем и конкурентните економски предности што ги нуди регионот“.
With this in mind, Ripple says it will tap into the local talent pool to develop crypto innovation in Toronto. As it stands, the real-time gross settlement, currency exchange, and emittance network already has strong ties to the Toronto community through Ripple’s University Blockchain Research Initiative (UBRI), which is in close collaboration with a host of local institutions. Among these are the University of Waterloo and Toronto Metropolitan University.
With a new Toronto office, the expectation that Ripple would naturally absorb graduates from these institutions is high. As Professor Anwar Hasan of the University of Waterloo puts it:
“… we’re excited to see our graduates continue their blockchain journey – a city with a fast-growing tech scene.”
Besides Ripple, other crypto-focused companies are also looking to gain a strong footing in Canada. For example, Bahamas-based FTX Exchange also established its physical presence in Calgary a week ago. The leading crypto exchange achieved this by acquiring Bitvo Inc., a Calgary-based crypto exchange.

Толу е ентузијаст за криптовалентност и блокчејн со седиште во Лагос. Тој сака да ги демистифицира крипто-приказните до голите основи, така што секој каде било може да разбере без премногу знаење во позадина.
Кога тој не е длабок во вратот во крипто приказните, Толу ужива во музиката, сака да пее и е страствен movieубител на филмови.
