Ripple Turns Down IPO After $500M Raise—Here's What They're Planning Instead

Ripple will remain private to fund growth internally after raising $500 million, focusing on acquisitions and expanding its digital asset infrastructure.

  • After a $500 million private round, Ripple's leadership said Ripple has no plans for an IPO, citing internal funding capabilities, Long said in a Tuesday interview.
  • The company expanded by acquiring four firms totaling nearly $4 billion, while Ripple Prime recently moved into collateralized lending and institutional XRP products, and Long called the funding terms favorable.
  • Serving 300+ customers, Ripple Payments processed more than $95 billion, while RLUSD, Ripple's dollar-pegged stablecoin, anchors payments, liquidity, custody, and settlement.
  • The move reduces short-term external pressure but raises integration and valuation risk; if integration falters or ROI is slow, the $40 billion valuation could hinder future funding rounds.
  • Private-Market valuation has diverged from XRP's market performance as the $40 billion private valuation jumps from the 2019 Series C $200 million at a $10 billion valuation, while XRP token crashed 48% from the July peak.
