{"content":"Ripple Hits Pause on IPO Plans ⏸️ — Is XRP Heading for Volatility? Ripple has no ambitions to go public like other digital asset companies. Ripple President Monica Long told Bloomberg at the Swell conference in New York, “We do not have an IPO timeline. No strategy, no schedule.” Her remarks underscore the company's current goals, which include developing its payments business, creating stablecoins, and forging new partnerships rather than going public. IPO Plans Are On Hold These comments follow Ripple's $500 million investment round last week, which valued the company at $40 billion. Pantera Capital, Galaxy Digital, Brevan Howard, and Marshall Wace joined Fortress Investment Group and Citadel Securities in this fundraising round. The strong endorsement suggests Ripple is not in financial need of public cash. Long stressed that the firm is “very well capitalized” to finance “organic growth” and acquisitions or collaborations without going public. This move distinguishes Ripple from stablecoin issuer Circle (CRCL), Bullish (BLSH), and Gemini (GEMI), who have just gone public in the US as part of a larger digital asset listing wave. Ripple's deferral of an IPO has conflicting effects on XRP holders. The absence of a near-term public listing may delay a liquidity event that might boost XRP's market awareness. Ripple's new fundraising round and allegedly increased client base quarter-over-quarter boost trust in its stablecoin payment model and development trajectory. Ripple's efforts on stablecoin integration and regulatory frameworks looks to be paying off. Clearer US and foreign rules have “opened up the market,” driving adoption, Long said. XRP is trading within its short-term range after periodic declines between $2 and $2.60. The cryptocurrency has recovered 4.7% in 24 hours to $2.32, with resistance around $2.69. #xrp #SolanaETFInflows #GENIUSAct $XRP ","images":["https://d35imkjvkj28kt.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025112025/11/08/cb2ab25e9e104b3c99ce0a1d171b952b.png"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":["XRP/USDT"],"quotearticleid":0}
