Ripple’s global expansion is accelerating.

In addition to the bold plans in the US, Ripple has been forging partnerships and is looking to expand aggressively abroad.

With operations now on all seven continents and speculation of an international IPO in 2025, the company is laying the groundwork for its next phase. CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s meetings with Japanese leaders signal Ripple's focus on Asia, particularly with potential stablecoin opportunities in Japan.

As Ripple continues to deepen its international footprint, its valuation, stagnant since 2020 and the SEC lawsuit, is overdue for an update.

Key Highlights;

Recent reports indicate Ripple's strong presence across all 7 continents.

As Garlinghouse said they had "no interests" in a US IPO, rumours have swirled around a potential 2025 IPO in London.

Ripple CEO has met with high-ranking Japanese leaders and stated that the country was "committed to advancing crypto and blockchain technology".

He also said that Ripple was looking into opportunities to offer stablecoins in Japan and that it was "only a matter of time" for japanese yen stablecoins to emerge.

SBI CEO Yoshitaka Kitao's announcement that Japanese banks will begin using XRP for transactions by 2025 a few weeks ago signals strong institutional approval abroad and reflects the global presence that Ripple has been able to achieve.

Ripple’s 2020 Series C valued the company at $10B, compared to Linqto’s implied $8B valuation today. The company’s valuation has remained unchanged for nearly four years due to the SEC lawsuit, but recent global momentum suggests a reevaluation is imminent. $XRP
