#BTC Ripple Labs has reinforced its market standing with a $285 million share buybackContents: 🗣🗣Empower Our Mission: Tips For Dedicated Service. 🗣🗣👉Users are encouraged to support the mission by offering generous tips.🗣This empowers creators to work even harder, ensuring the continued delivery of top-notch investment advice. Ripple's financial position remains strong  Ripple's previous buyback  #RippleLabs , the cryptocurrency giant known for its XRPcoins, has announced a substantial buyback of its shares. The company is set to repurchase $285 million worth of shares from early #investors and employees, according to anonymous two sources cited by Reuters in their Wednesday report. This tender offer propels Ripple's valuation to an impressive $11.3 billion.Ripple's decision to buy back shares is a strategic move to strengthen investor confidence and assert its financial stability. The #Buyback limits investors to selling only up to 6% of their stake. This restriction is a savvy approach to maintaining a balanced shareholder structure. Ripple's financial position remains strong  #RippleCEO Brad Garlinghouse, emphasized the company's strong financial position, with over $1 billion in cash and $25 billion in crypto assets, primarily XRP. Despite ongoing legal battles with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Ripple has demonstrated resilience and growth, recently acquiring Switzerland-based crypto custody firm Metaco for $250 million.Ripple's previous buyback  Notably, this isn't Ripple's first foray into share buybacks. In early January 2022, the company had previously repurchased shares issued after securing $200 million in funding in 2019. This earlier buyback, at a valuation of $15 billion, represented a significant increase from the $10 billion valuation at the time of the funding round. The move not only underscored Ripple's strong market momentum but also suggested a hefty 50% profit for investors in just over two years.

#Launchpool Ripple CEO and CFTC commissioner to host epic crypto discussion in DavosDisclaimer: 🗣🗣Empower Our Mission: Tips For Dedicated Service. 🗣🗣👉Users are encouraged to support the mission by offering generous tips.🗣This empowers creators to work even harder, ensuring the continued delivery of top-notch investment advice.Ripple has announced that its #Ceo , Brad Garlinghouse, will be sharing the stage with Caroline D. Pham, a commissioner of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (#CFTC ), the federal agency that oversees the derivatives markets, including futures, options and swaps.Garlinghouse and Pham will speak on Tuesday at 4:20 p.m. CET in a session titled "Crypto at a Crossroads: Future-proofing Digital Assets" at Bloomberg House in Davos. The event will be livestreamed on YouTube.LFG! 2024 is going to be big. https://t.co/3CcCQNo4D9— Brad Garlinghouse (@bgarlinghouse) January 16, 2024The World Economic Forum (WEF) is presently convening its 54th annual meeting in the Swiss city of Davos. The five-day gathering is attracting participation from international organizations, civil society leaders, social entrepreneurs and the media.The announcement of Garlinghouse's panel discussion with that of the CFTC commissioner has sparked excitement among the #XRPcommunity , given Ripple's landmark ruling in July 2023 in the SEC lawsuit, which determined $XRP was not a security.The CFTC, in particular, has been viewed as a more friendly and supportive regulator for the crypto industry, having considered most cryptocurrencies as commodities rather than securities, and has allowed the creation and trading of crypto derivatives products, such as futures and options.The visit of the CFTC commissioner to Ripple's office in September 2022 sparked a whole lot of excitement and speculation, with Pham stating the visit was part of her "learning tour."This time, the excitement remains palpable, with expectations that XRP will be projected to the world, and the discussions spearheaded by the #RippleCEO and CFTC commissioner will also pave further ways for more positive developments in the general crypto space.

#bitcoinhalving U.Today has prepared a summary of the top three news stories over the weekend.Bitcoin (#BTC ) eyes $40,000 as it heads for fourth green week in rowTo the great delight of all Bitcoin holders, the flagship crypto is setting for its fourth consecutive week in green. Over the last four weeks, Bitcoin has increased in value by more than 40% due to growing anticipation of a spot #etf approval. On Thursday, Nov. 9, $BTC was little under $38,000, its highest price since May 2022. However, as of now, the biggest crypto by market cap is still only around halfway to regaining its peak of nearly $69,000, the level it reached during the 2021 crypto mania. Currently, traders are aiming for the $40,000 price point and higher. Earlier last week, veteran trader Peter Brandt charted out a price target of $43,289 if a flag or pennant pattern validates for Bitcoin.Horrifyingly realistic Ripple scam emerges on social mediaOn Sunday, Nov. 12, X platform user with more than 230,000 followers @sentosumosaba shared a warning about a new kind of scam facing the #XRPcommunity . The user posted a video of what appears to be a YouTube ad showing "#RippleCEO Brad Garlinghouse" calling XRP holders to send a minimum of 1,000 XRP and receive double the amount in return. As genuine as the video may seem, this is not the real Garlinghouse's online identity but an alarmingly sophisticated scam that uses AI technology to imitate the Ripple CEO's voice and image. Luckily, some attentive users managed to spot discrepancies in the video's editing and raised an alert.Shytoshi Kusama signals SHIB's readiness for bull marketIn a recent post on his Telegram channel Shibarium Tech, Shytoshi Kusama, pseudonymous lead of the Shiba Inu project, stated that the community is ready to benefit from the anticipated bull market. "I don't think we will miss it," wrote Kusama. The SHIB lead's message comes amid the crypto market's upswing, with Bitcoin's price surpassing $37,000 and rising optimism for imminent spot ETF approval. Kusama provided a clear vision for the project's course, assuring SHIB holders that the necessary steps are being taken to take advantage of favorable market conditions. "We are on schedule to complete our work in it. But only with your help," Kusama stressed.
