San Francisco-based blockchain company Ripple has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in America by Inc. Magazine.
The company linked to the XRP cryptocurrency is in 2,456th place on this year's list after growing 236% within a year.
As reported by U.Today, Ripple was in 123rd place back in 2020.
Notably, embattled cryptocurrency lender BlockFi topped the list after recording 245,616% growth over the past year. It was the fastest-growing company in America in January before the arrival of crypto winter. As reported by U.Today, crypto giant FTX recently reached a deal with BlockFi, which allowed it to acquire the Jersey City, New Jersey-based company for up to $240 million. To put this into perspective, BlockFi was eyeing a $5 valuation in 2021.
