Ripple is not in a hurry to go public, as highlighted by the company’s recent $500 million funding round that increased its valuation to $40 billion. The company's President has stated that their robust financial position and additional backing from notable investors allow them to operate without tapping into public markets for liquidity.
The company intends to maintain its private status despite the interest from major institutional investors. This is largely due to the confidence Ripple has in its balance sheet which has empowered the firm to make strategic acquisitions—including four companies in 2025. These acquisitions reinforce Ripple’s strategy to grow without an IPO.
Ripple’s President pointed out that the firm is focused on enhancing product development initiatives, especially in areas that connect traditional financial systems with digital assets. The key areas of attention include compliance measures and secure digital asset custody. By prioritizing these aspects, Ripple aims to facilitate real-world adoption of its services among businesses and financial institutions.
In addition to its operational strategy, Ripple’s fundraising conditions have been described as favorable, drawing attention to its infrastructure for financial institutions and the rising demand for stablecoin transactions.
