Ripple, headquartered in San Francisco, is best known for its payment protocol. The company’s private stock is not publicly traded but is made available to accredited investors through platforms like Linqto.
The rise in Ripple’s stock price and valuation underscores growing investor confidence in the company, despite its ongoing legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Understanding Ripple’s Current Valuation
The implied valuation of $19.6 billion positions Ripple as one of the leading companies in the blockchain and fintech industries. This figure reflects the company’s significant technological advancements, partnerships with financial institutions, and market adoption of its payment solutions.
Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) service, which uses XRP as a bridge currency for cross-border transactions, has been a key driver of its adoption, enabling faster and more cost-efficient international payments.
This valuation also places Ripple in competition with other major fintech and cryptocurrency firms, further highlighting its market influence. While Ripple’s exact revenue figures remain private, the company has disclosed robust growth in the use of its ODL platform.
The valuation could also be influenced by speculation about Ripple’s potential for an Initial Public Offering (IPO), a move that the company has hinted at in the past but has not yet confirmed.

Impact of the SEC Lawsuit
Ripple’s valuation increase comes amid a legal battle with the SEC, which began in December 2020. The lawsuit alleges that Ripple conducted an unregistered securities offering by selling XRP tokens. While the case has created regulatory uncertainty, recent developments have impacted the market positively.
In July 2023, a U.S. District Court issued a partial ruling stating that XRP sales to retail investors did not constitute securities offerings. However, institutional sales were deemed to fall under securities laws. This decision provided some regulatory clarity and led to a resurgence in interest in both XRP and Ripple as a company.
Investor Sentiment
The rising valuation of Linqto signals continued interest in Ripple from institutional and private investors. Platforms like Linqto cater to a growing demand for access to private equity in tech and fintech companies before they go public. Ripple’s consistent presence on such platforms suggests strong demand among accredited investors, even amid regulatory challenges.
