Ripple has announced the appointment of Warren Jenson, a former CFO of Amazon, to its Board of Directors and as Chairperson of the Audit Committee. The move is part of Ripple's strategy to continue expanding its workforce and launching new products. CEO Brad Garlinghouse expressed his excitement about Jenson's appointment, stating that his expertise in transparency and trust will be a valuable resource for the company. Despite the ongoing SEC lawsuit and the challenges of the Crypto Winter, Ripple has continued to make notable moves towards expanding its operations, including the recent acquisition of Swiss-based digital asset firm Metaco for $250 million.
