Ripple is set to buy back shares from employees and investors in a move that could value the company at $50 billion.
In the last 24 hours, Ripple has made headlines with significant developments. According to reports from Bloomberg, Ripple is implementing a share buyback strategy that values the company at approximately $50 billion. The plan aims to:
- Repurchase up to $750 million in shares from employees and investors.
- The tender process is anticipated to continue throughout April.
Previously, the company secured $500 million at a valuation of $40 billion in November of last year, with backers including Fortress Investment Group and Citadel Securities.
Additionally, Ripple was recently added to Mastercard’s new Crypto Partner Program, which intends to link blockchain technology with Mastercard’s extensive payment systems.
Ripple also disclosed intentions to acquire an Australian Financial Services License by purchasing a local firm known as BC Payments Australia Pty Ltd, currently subject to standard regulatory procedures.
Despite these developments, XRP’s market price has not seen significant movement, trading at $1.39, with a slight increase of 0.7% in the last day.
