Ripple Confirms No IPO Plans as President Monica Long Says Focus Is on $1B Acquisitions, Not Wall Street

Quick Take

Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed.

  • Ripple President Monica Long rules out near-term IPO.

  • Company completes $1B GTreasury deal amid expansion spree.

  • Ripple valued between $5B–$10B, remains privately funded.

  • Focus shifts to real-world finance and treasury market growth.

President Monica Long declared that Ripple does not plan to go public at the moment, but the company was financially fortuitous. It was confirmed by a Cryptoknowmics report released at 06:07 UTC, November 6, 2025, in which Long made it clear that the plan of Ripple would focus on international acquisitions and not a stock market launch. This announcement concludes months of speculation over a 2025 IPO since the company settled the legal issues with the U.S. SEC. The excellent cash reserves within Ripple have allowed it to keep expanding without any IPO, and there is long-term belief in its own privatization strategy.

$1 Billion GTreasury Deal Strengthens Ripple’s Expansion Strategy

The third significant purchase was the most recent with Ripple acquiring GTreasury on October 16, 2025, to acquire the company to the tune of 1 billion dollars. The relocation will increase the scope of Ripple into the multi-trillion-dollar corporate treasury industry, allowing them to handle liquidity in real-time and provide 24/7 payments worldwide. In the previous year, the year 2025, the firm acquired Hidden Road, a prime brokerage firm and Rail, a stablecoin infrastructure provider.

As per the AccessIPOs data of late 2024, Ripple is currently worth between $5 billion and $10 billion. Peaking in January 2024, the internal tender offer of the firm was worth 11.3 billion dollars. As the market fluctuations and the post-election volatility were causing the fluctuation in valuations, the demand of Ripple pre-IPO shares is still high among investors. CEO Brad Garlinghouse already indicated that an IPO might require 12 months of preparation once it was on the priority list but it was not on the 2025 list.

Monica Long is the Head of Ripple Post SEC Growth

An appointment happened when Monica Long became President and shifted Ripple toward regulatory recovery to aggressive growth in 2023. Her appointment is after the legal battle won by Ripple against the SEC that paved the way to increased business growth. Long is a graduate of UC Berkeley and has more than 10 years of experience in blockchain and product strategy. Ripple has grown its efforts on tokenization of real world assets, institutional custody, and payment rails under her leadership, further making an argument on why XRP can have a role to play in the financial system.

Takeover Surpasses IPO Advantages

The announcement of the postponement of its IPO by Ripple indicates the confidence in the capital and the strength of operations. The acquisitions of GTreasury, Hidden Road and Rail are relevant to its vision to bring blockchain to the conventional finance. Every acquisition creates new sources of revenue: treasury management, access to brokerage, and liquidity of stablecoins, which entrenchs the ecosystem of Ripple beyond sales of tokens. Although the rumours of IPO are still present, the strategic actions of Ripple lead to believe that it is not interested in exposure, but expansion, thus retaining its focus on market mastery, as opposed to market conjecture.
