Ripple has no plans to go public at this time. Company President Monica Long recently stated that, considering Ripple's solid financial position, management is more optimistic about driving business growth through strategic acquisitions and product innovation rather than pursuing an IPO route.

In November this year, Ripple completed a $500 million financing round, valuing the company at $40 billion. Leading investors behind this round include well-known institutions such as Fortress Investment Group and Citadel Securities. Notably, this financing again validates market recognition of Ripple's business model and reflects traditional capital's continued interest in leading Web3 companies.

Looking at the financing pace, Ripple has completed multiple funding rounds by 2025, with the scale and lineup of investors continuously expanding. This indicates that the company's commercial potential in international payments, blockchain applications, and other fields is widely appreciated by institutional investors. Compared to the uncertainties of an IPO, growth through mergers, acquisitions, and product line expansion may better align with Ripple's current strategic rhythm.
