Ripple Launches $1 Billion Digital-Asset Treasury for XRP Management
- Ripple is establishing a $1 billion digital-asset treasury (DAT) to accumulate and manage XRP as a long-term reserve.
- The initiative will be financed through a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC), creating a permanent buyer for XRP.
- Ripple controls approximately 42% of the total XRP supply, with around $11 billion in liquid holdings.
- If deployed over three months, the DAT could represent over 20% of XRP’s visible near-price liquidity daily.
- Current XRP prices are around $2.30, meaning the reserve would equal about 435 million XRP or roughly 0.75% of circulating supply.
This new treasury aims to shift from managing supply to stimulating demand for XRP by attracting institutional investments into the asset.
The proposed DAT could lead to significant price movements, potentially increasing XRP’s value by up to approximately 15% if executed rapidly over short timeframes. (Source)
