Ripple Reiterates No IPO Plans, Says Company's Balance Sheet is Strong and Focused on Growth
BlockBeats News, January 7th, Ripple CEO Monica Long stated that the company currently has no plans to pursue an Initial Public Offering (IPO), will continue to remain privately operated, and will focus on growth through product development and acquisitions. She noted that Ripple's current financial situation is solid, does not require accessing the capital markets through a public listing to obtain liquidity, and already has the capacity to continue investing in the company's development.
Monica Long's remarks came after Ripple completed a round of financing of about $5 billion in November 2025, which valued the company at around $40 billion. Investors in this round include Fortress Investment Group, Citadel Securities, and several cryptocurrency funds. Regarding the investor protection mechanisms in the financing terms, she only stated that the overall structure is more favorable to Ripple, without further elaborating on the specific terms.
The report also mentioned that Ripple completed multiple acquisitions in 2025, including the main broker-dealer Hidden Road, the stablecoin payment platform Rail, the treasury management system GTreasury, and the digital asset wallet and custody company Palisade, with the total acquisition amount close to $4 billion. Ripple disclosed that as of November last year, its payment business had processed a cumulative transaction volume of over $95 billion, and its related products are continuously expanding around enterprise-grade digital asset infrastructure.
