The leading company in the blockchain payment field, Ripple, recently made a clear statement that it currently has no plans to go public. Company President Monica Long revealed in an interview that Ripple's financial situation is fully healthy and capable of driving business growth through its own cash flow, and there is no need to seek liquidity or investor support via an IPO at this time.

Looking at funding trends, Ripple just completed a high-profile financing round in November last year—raising $500 million at a $40 billion valuation. Investors included top institutions such as Fortress Investment and Castle Securities, which demonstrates the market's strong confidence in its development prospects. Regarding the specific terms of this round of financing, Monica Long mentioned that the deal structure is "very favorable" to the company, but did not disclose further details.

Notably, Ripple's expansion pace has significantly accelerated in 2025. The company has invested nearly $4 billion in acquisitions, quickly integrating four companies in a short period. Its business scope has expanded from payment service providers to a broader digital asset ecosystem. This strategy of acquiring and integrating to完善 product matrix has become a core approach for its bypass of an IPO and rapid growth. Overall, maintaining a private status and relying on financing and M&A to drive expansion has become Ripple's current strategic direction.
