Let $(M^n,g,\nabla f)$, $n\geq 3$, be an expanding gradient Ricci soliton with nonnegative sectional curvature whose asymptotic cone is isometric to $C(\mathbb{S}^{n-1}(c))$ where $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}(c)$ is the standard $(n-1)$-sphere of curvature $1/c^2$, with $c\in(0,1)$. We prove that if the convergence to the asymptotic cone is smooth, $(M^n,g,\nabla f)$ is rotationally symmetric. This is the expanding analogue of the Perelman conjecture on the Bryant soliton and this work is based on the proof by Brendle \cite{Bre-Rot-3d}. This has also been proved recently by Chodosh \cite{Cho-EGS}.
