Ripple Rejects IPO, Focuses on Long-Term Growth Strategy
Written by Ohris M. Greyoon, Blockchain & Crypto Expert
- Private Growth Strategy: Ripple has explicitly confirmed its lack of plans for an initial public offering (IPO), with a solid financial structure that allows it to finance operations without public market reliance, ensuring flexibility in product development and strategic acquisitions.
- Successful Financing: The $500 million investment round completed in November 2025 elevated Ripple's valuation to $40 billion, with participation from major entities like Fortress Investment Group and Citadel Securities, reflecting strong market confidence in its long-term growth potential.
- Acquisition Expansion: Throughout 2025, Ripple executed four major acquisitions totaling approximately $4 billion, aiming to position itself as a full-spectrum solution provider in corporate cryptocurrency infrastructure, thereby enhancing its competitive edge in the market.
- Payment Ecosystem Development: Ripple Payments surpassed a total transaction volume of $95 billion by November, and with the acquisition of Hidden Road, it launched secured lending products and corporate XRP solutions, further bridging traditional finance with blockchain-based assets.
