Ripple has reiterated its commitment to remaining a private company, denying rumors of an imminent public offering.
President Monica Long cited the company's strong balance sheet and strategic focus on organic growth and acquisitions as reasons for avoiding the public markets.
She explained that while going public typically provides access to investor capital and liquidity, Ripple's strong financial position allows it to fund its growth ambitions independently.
The statement comes after a significant $500 million funding round completed by Ripple in November 2025, which valued the company at $40 billion.
The investment attracted major backers, including Fortress Investment Group and Citadel Securities.
