The pioneer in business blockchain and cryptocurrency solutions, Ripple, revealed the opening of a new office in Toronto that will act as a crucial technical hub. The new office will assist Ripple’s ongoing expansion in North America. It will be the company’s first in the country.
In order to grow to hundreds of blockchain software engineers, including applied machine learning scientists, data scientists, and product managers, the business wants to first employ 50 developers in Toronto.
“Crypto and blockchain present an incredible opportunity for engineers to tackle difficult problems, with the potential for these solutions to impact the movement of value around the world.”

Ripple envisions expanding amidst the harsh market conditions
Ripple’s top goal continues to be bringing on top personnel who will help it develop and serve its clients for years to come, even as other companies in the sector have announced layoffs and hiring restrictions. Ripple launched additional offices in important places like Miami and Dublin only last year, and it intends to recruit hundreds of workers internationally by the year 2022.
“Nearly every financial institution is coming up with its crypto strategy to take advantage of this technology that will underpin our future global financial systems. Crypto is one of the most thrilling industries to work in.”
Brad Garlinghouse, CEO
Ripple’s dedication to a location that is already a well-known innovation hotspot has been further strengthened with the inauguration of the Toronto office. To support crypto innovation in Toronto, it will employ top engineers and draw on the local talent pool.
Through collaborations with prestigious institutions and colleges, including the University of Waterloo and Toronto Metropolitan University, Ripple has significant links to the Toronto community. Together, the company will encourage cutting-edge research in a number of important fields related to blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies and provide students the chance to develop excellent technical skills.
