After years of speculation, Ripple has confirmed that it
will not go public in 2025. The company behind XRP has opted for a different
path. In an interview with CNBC, Ripple’s President, Monica Long, explained
that an IPO is not part of the company’s plans. She noted that Ripple is
financially strong, holding billions in cash.
Meanwhile, the XRPUSD H1 chart indicates that the price is
stuck within a horizontal range. Traders should wait for a breakout to
determine the next direction.
Long stated that companies typically go public to raise
capital or increase visibility, but Ripple does not need either at this stage,
as reported by Coinpedia. CEO Brad Garlinghouse supported this view, confirming
that Ripple does not seek outside funding or plan to become a publicly traded
company in the near future.

The possibility of Ripple going public has been discussed
for several years. In 2022, Garlinghouse indicated that an IPO would be
considered once Ripple’s legal issues with the SEC were resolved. Following the
legal resolution in late 2023, Garlinghouse reiterated that going public is not
a priority for Ripple.
Trades Within Narrow Intraday Range
The XRPUSD H1 chart shows that the cryptocurrency faced
rejection near 2.22000 and found support around 2.16700. At the time of
writing, the price is moving back toward the lower boundary of the range.
However, without a clear breakout above resistance or below support, intraday
traders may find it difficult to identify setups with favourable risk-to-reward
ratios.
