- The funds will support VivoPower’s strategic focus on managing an XRP treasury, enhancing their digital asset portfolio.
- This initiative makes VivoPower the first publicly traded company to adopt an XRP-focused treasury strategy.
- Adam Traidman, former board member of Ripple Labs, has joined VivoPower’s advisory board as chairman to strengthen their blockchain partnerships.
- In August, VivoPower acquired shares in Ripple Labs to access over 211 million XRPs at an average price of $0.47 per unit.
