Ripple launches $750M share buyback at $50B valuation Ripple plans to repurchase shares from investors and employees through a tender offer expected to run through April. The deal implies a $50B valuation - 25% higher than the $40B attached to its November fundraise, which pulled in Citadel Securities, Fortress Investment Group, Pantera Capital, Galaxy Digital, Brevan Howard, and Marshall Wace. Moreover, a prior $1B buyback attempt at the same $40B valuation in September 2025 had the lowest participation of any prior round. Ripple has no IPO plans, per President Monica Long. Instead, the company is using buybacks as a private liquidity mechanism - giving long-time holders an exit without touching public markets. $XRP spot ETFs have now attracted $1.26B in cumulative inflows since launching in November 2025. 🔗theblock.co/post/393299/ripple-launches-750-million-share-buyback-at-50-billion-valuation @TOP7ICO
