Ripple остаётся вне рынка IPO, несмотря на стратегические инвестирования Translation: Ripple Remains Out of the IPO Market Despite Strategic Investments

Ripple has no immediate plans to go public like several American crypto industry participants. This was stated by the president of the fintech company, Monica Long, in an interview with Bloomberg.

«We don’t have a schedule for an IPO. There are no plans or timelines,» she emphasized.

Since the beginning of the year, several issuers have achieved public company status, including stablecoin issuer Circle, the Bitcoin exchanges Bullish and Gemini, and the crypto lending platform Figure. Kraken has also announced its preparations for a similar move.

On November 5, Ripple announced it had secured strategic investments amounting to $500 million, valuing the company at $40 billion. The list of investors includes Citadel Securities, Fortress Investment Group, Pantera Capital, Galaxy Digital, Brevan Howard, and Marshall Wace.

«We are in a strong position to capitalize and fund all our organic and inorganic growth, strategic partnerships, and whatever else we want to pursue,» Long commented.

She declined to disclose the company’s financial results for 2024 but noted that Ripple doubled its customer base in the last quarter due to the launch of the RLUSD stablecoin. She attributed the growth to the increasing use of stablecoins and the acceptance of asset regulations in the United States.

In 2022, Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated that the company would consider an IPO after resolving its legal issues with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

In January 2024, he admitted that the firm had plans to go public outside the U.S. due to the regulator’s «hostile» stance, but those plans were postponed as the IPO was deemed not a priority.

The court finally dismissed the long-running 2020 SEC lawsuit against Ripple in August 2025.

Since April, the fintech firm has spent over $2.4 billion acquiring at least four companies.

The previously announced acquisition of global prime broker Hidden Road for $1.25 billion was completed in October. Ripple also invested $1 billion in the treasury company GTreasury.

In August, the firm announced its acquisition of the stablecoin platform Rail for $200 million. In early November, Ripple purchased the developer of custodial solutions, Palisade, although the deal’s amount was not disclosed.

“Don’t expect the same pace in the next year. We will likely slow down on acquisitions in 2026, which will please our corporate development team,” Garlinghouse stated during a panel discussion at the Swell conference, according to DL News.

He emphasized that Ripple’s approach differs from the industry norm, focusing on acquiring assets more aligned with traditional finance. He cited Hidden Road as an example, noting that most of its business does not relate to digital assets. He also referred to GTreasury as primarily a bridge between traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi).

According to Garlinghouse, the company had plans to acquire a cryptocurrency exchange but ultimately ended up successfully investing in various platforms instead.

«This is a completely different business than what Ripple is engaged in. I don’t foresee us entering the public market,» he stated.

Additionally, Ripple, in partnership with Mastercard, WebBank, and Gemini, is testing the use of RLUSD for payments with fiat cards.
