Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently declared that an initial public offering (IPO) is not a pressing priority for the company, citing the ongoing legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Garlinghouse highlighted that an IPO is not their immediate focus due to the unresolved SEC investigation into XRP sales as unregistered securities. He emphasized the SEC's current stance as unfavorable for companies seeking to go public. Despite the legal challenges, Ripple maintains a strong financial position, and Garlinghouse stated that an IPO is not necessary for capital acquisition. While the company remains open to the idea of an IPO, it is not their current priority. Garlinghouse's comments align with previous statements regarding an IPO, indicating that Ripple will consider this option once the SEC lawsuit is resolved.
