Details of the Share Buyback

Ripple Labs, known for its XRP coins, is buying back shares through a tender offer. Investors can sell up to 6% of their stake. The privately-held company confirmed the buyback, saying it plans to spend $500 million to cover stock unit conversion and taxes.

Ripple’s CEO on the Buyback

CEO Brad Garlinghouse said Ripple now holds over $1 billion in cash and over $25 billion in crypto assets. He said the company plans to do more buybacks regularly to provide liquidity, and has no plans to go public in the US anytime soon due to regulatory uncertainty.

Ripple’s Legal Battle with the SEC

The buyback comes after Ripple’s partial win against the SEC, with a judge finding XRP sales on public exchanges were not unregistered securities offerings. Ripple builds a payments system promoting XRP use. Growing amid the lawsuit was challenging, said Garlinghouse, but most of Ripple’s clients are non-US institutions.

The Future for Ripple

XRP had a $30 billion market cap as of Wednesday. Ripple bought crypto custody firm Metaco last year and Garlinghouse said the payments business continues to grow despite the lawsuit. More share buybacks are expected as Ripple provides liquidity for investors.
