Ripple Reiterates No IPO Plans, Says Company's Balance Sheet is Strong and Focused on Growth

1 days ago

On January 7th, Ripple CEO Monica Long announced the company has no current plans for an initial public offering (IPO), will remain privately held, and will prioritize growth via product development and acquisitions. She noted Ripple’s solid financial position means it does not need to access public capital markets for liquidity, and already has the capacity to continue investing in its development. Long’s comments follow Ripple’s ~$5 billion funding round in November 2025, which valued the firm at ~$40 billion. Investors include Fortress Investment Group, Citadel Securities, and several crypto funds. Regarding investor protection in the round’s terms, she only said the overall structure favors Ripple, without disclosing specific details. The report also notes Ripple completed multiple 2025 acquisitions: prime broker-dealer Hidden Road, stablecoin payment platform Rail, treasury management system GTreasury, and digital asset wallet/custody firm Palisade—totaling nearly $4 billion. As of November 2025, Ripple disclosed its payments business has processed over $95 billion in cumulative transaction volume, with related products expanding across enterprise-grade digital asset infrastructure.

Opinion: 'Venezuela's $60 Billion Bitcoin Holdings' Claim Lacks Evidence

January 8th Rumors have circulated that the Venezuelan government may secretly hold up to $60 billion in Bitcoin, but Mauricio Di Bartolomeo—co-founder of crypto firm Ledn, a Venezuela-based Bitcoin miner with longstanding industry ties—says the claim is rooted in speculation and secondhand information, lacking credible on-chain evidence. The rumors center on three key claims: that Venezuela swapped large-scale gold sales for Bitcoin in 2018, that some oil revenue was settled in Bitcoin or crypto, and that the government used confiscated or stolen mining rigs to mine the token. Di Bartolomeo acknowledges Venezuela did receive crypto in some oil transactions and has seized mining rigs, but emphasized there’s no credible proof the ~$2.7 billion from its 2018 gold sale was converted to Bitcoin. Alex Saab—the key figure in that 2018 deal, now Venezuela’s Industry and National Production Minister—was detained by the U.S. from 2020 to late 2023, when he was released as part of a pri
