Ripple President Disproves IPO Speculations During Paris Blockchain Week

During the Paris Blockchain Week 2025, Ripple’s President Monica Long made announcements regarding acquisitions, discussed digital currency regulation and legislative changes, as well as business growth in the US and Europe.

Responding to a question about the potential for Ripple’s Initial Public Offering (IPO) on 8 April 2025, Long remarked, “Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has publicly stated that our balance sheet is in a very strong position. We are indeed actively involved in the mergers and acquisitions landscape.”

“We are exploring avenues to foster our growth. An IPO could be more suitable for a company seeking greater available volume, but that isn’t our current limitation for expansion. Thus, we’re concentrating on evolving the business as a private entity,” Long stated, dismissing speculation surrounding a potential Ripple IPO.

“Game On In the US,” States Ripple President: Talks About Progress Of Crypto Bills

In her comments on the clarity of regulations in the US this year, Long expressed, “We are striking the right balance globally. There is healthy tension, and we need to establish rules and apply them to understand what adjustments are necessary.”

On the developments of crypto legislation in the US, Long noted, “In the realm of crypto bills, they seem to be the most advanced. There are also bills concerning market infrastructure that appear to be progressing well. Additionally, the acceleration of ETFs this year is significant, especially since the US is the largest global economy and capital crypto market now involved in the game.”

Long mentioned that Ripple experienced a sudden surge in business following the election, “the banks in the US engaged in a way that was like flipping a light switch.”

“The more banks involved, the greater the distribution,” said Long. “Another major change is the repeal of SAB 121, which restricted banks from including crypto on their balance sheets. We are indeed observing much more interest in custody arrangements as well.”

“So, game on in the US,” Long added with confidence.

She stated further, “It is refreshing to move ahead with that clarity.”

“We will continue to make moves to expand our business.”
