Once again, Ripple Labs crypto giant has been recognized as one of the best workplaces in the new ranking of Fortune. The magazine has put it on the list of the top workplaces in the U.S. Bay Area, according to a tweet Ripple published earlier today.
On that list, there are such prominent companies as Nvidia, Adobe Inc., Salesforce, Visa, HP Inc., Samsara, Databricks and others. “Thank you for the recognition, and big thanks to our team of Ripplers!” Ripple’s tweet stated.
On the list of the best small and medium places to work, Ripple comes 41st out of 75 companies. In 2024, Fortune ranked it 32nd out of 100 companies that made that list of winners.
Ripple donates $5 billion for blockchain innovation in APAC
In a recently published blog post, Ripple stated that it is doubling down on blockchain innovation in the Asia-Pacific region (APAC) and has provided more than $5 million in funding for this through its global University Blockchain Research Initiative (UBRI).
Currently, APAC is a global digital finance hub with a large number of neobanks concentrated in that area. For more than seven years, UBRI has been supporting the education of the next generation of blockchain builders, entrepreneurs and researchers.
By now, Ripple’s innovative blockchain-powered payment solutions have processed more than $30 billion in transnational payments per year, surpassing conventional payment systems, such as SWIFT, offering faster and cheaper solutions.
Ripple’s UBRI program helps many APAC-based universities to explore new solutions that increase local and international adoption and the interoperability of blockchain. Therefore, Ripple here is helping to create new financial systems in APAC.
