Ripple Labs Secures $500 Million Funding, Valued at $40 Billion
- Ripple Labs closed a $500 million strategic funding round in 2025, achieving a valuation of $40 billion.
- The funding was led by Fortress Investment Group and Citadel Securities, with participation from Brevan Howard and others.
- Earlier in the year, Ripple executed a $1 billion tender offer at the same valuation for early shareholders’ liquidity.
- Ripple acquired Hidden Road for approximately $1.25 billion and GTreasury for around $1 billion as part of its aggressive expansion strategy.
- The company launched RLUSD, a fully reserved dollar stablecoin with a supply exceeding $1 billion.
This funding round indicates strong institutional interest in Ripple’s business model focused on stablecoins and regulated infrastructure rather than solely on XRP token utility. The recent settlement with the SEC also reduces regulatory risks associated with XRP.
While Ripple’s new valuation reflects significant backing from traditional finance, it does not guarantee increased demand or utility for XRP itself moving forward. (Source)
