What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

As of October 25, 2026, Ripple has not filed an S-1 registration statement with the SEC. The company's valuation of around $50 billion is based on its businesses, including Ripple Prime and RLUSD, rather than the XRP token. The company recently completed a $750 million share buyback, which benefited investors and employees, but XRP token holders received no cash or equity from the transaction.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The valuation reflects the company's corporate strength, not the performance of XRP, which has declined nearly 50% over the past year. While an IPO could raise capital and create insider liquidity, reports suggest it may offer little lasting benefit to XRP without a new compelling use case for the token.
