Ripple President Monica Long recently denied the market rumors about the company's going public, stating that there are currently no IPO plans. This stance reflects Ripple's clear positioning on its development path.

From a financial perspective, Ripple's self-sustaining capability is sufficient to support its privatized operations. Ample cash flow gives the company more flexibility in strategic choices, without being constrained by short-term pressures from the public market. Unlike some peers who are forced by shareholders to change their development direction and rush to ring the bell for an IPO, Ripple maintains a steady pace of institutional cooperation.

It is worth noting Ripple's progress in blockchain application implementation—an example being the cross-border transfer project with Standard Chartered Bank. Such projects often better reflect the company's true value than fundraising figures. XRP, as the core asset of its ecosystem, continues to receive support at the institutional adoption level.

However, it should be pointed out that this strategic stability does not guarantee immunity from risks. If the crypto market remains sluggish in the long term, the company's financial reserves will eventually face tests. No one can predict whether there will be strategic adjustments in the future, but for now, Ripple's choice to deepen its focus on the institutional market as a privatized entity rather than rushing to enter the capital market follows a relatively clear logic.

Not going public can still be very fulfilling, I really respect Ripple's approach. --- Why rush? Having cash flow makes you the boss. The actual application of XRP is the real key. --- Basically, they don't lack money, so they don't have to be controlled by retail investors. Even seasoned players can't learn this. --- But the problem is, what if the coin price drops? The cash flow will eventually be drained. --- The partnership with Standard Chartered looks more solid; it's much more reliable and honest compared to funding news. --- Privatization is just privatization. Anyway, institutions are buying in, and retail investors can do whatever they want. --- I prefer Ripple's low-key approach; it's much more sensible than projects that are always hyping up going public. --- Speaking of which, with XRP's current price, they really aren't in a rush to go public and raise money.

Not going public is actually more comfortable, and this move is quite clever. Having sufficient cash flow is the real confidence, avoiding being led around by retail investors. The recognition of XRP among institutions is truly valuable. I'm just worried that the market bear might last too long, and the reserves can't hold up... Steady is steady, but it still depends on whether it can truly land in the future. Compared to the fundraising figures, the partnership with Standard Chartered indeed shows something. Privatized operations definitely avoid the headaches of going public. But to be honest, if cash flow dries up, the strategy will have to change. This time, their stance is consistent, unlike some projects that keep shouting about fundraising every day. Let's see if they change their tune during the next bull market; for now, they are speaking nicely.

Ripple, not going public this time is just going against the market, and they happen to have money to be willful... XRP can only survive thanks to these institutional backers; without bank cooperation, it's just a piece of paper. It's called stability, but in reality, they just don't dare to face the scrutiny of the public market. Can the Standard Chartered project really be implemented, or is it just another PR stunt? Privatized operations sound relaxed, but once a bear market hits, cash reserves won't hold up... Ms. Long is so confident, I’m just waiting to see the moment she turns hostile. Institutional cooperation ≠ ecological prosperity; don’t mistake order for product demand. Without the pressure of going public, there’s no transparency. I really don’t understand this logic. Basically, it’s just that they’ve raised enough funds and don’t want to dilute equity for now.

Not being listed shows confidence; having sufficient cash flow means you don't have to be forced by shareholders to sell at a loss. --- Basically, it's the project team's rhetoric. Institutional cooperation sounds impressive, but whether XRP rises or falls still depends on the coin price. --- Long-term stagnation tests capital reserves. This sounds like a prelude to strategic adjustments. --- How is the specific progress of the Standard Chartered project? Still just storytelling. --- Privatization status sounds stable, but it's actually just avoiding scrutiny of financial reports, for reference only. --- Sufficient cash flow = having cut deeply before, now can endure slowly. --- No IPO plans, so when are there plans? It depends on future coin prices and institutional attitudes. --- Continuous support from institutions is something every project team claims; just listen and take it with a grain of salt. --- Is real value reflected in practical implementation rather than fundraising figures? Then why is XRP still being hyped here? --- The mention of capital reserve tests sounds like leaving a loophole for future adjustments.

nah ripple's probably just avoiding the sec circus tbh... staying private lets them move without the quarterly earnings theater

nah tbh the "no ipo plans" thing reads like textbook governance deflection... they say it now but path dependency is real, cash burns eventually when market stays frozen. interesting how institutional adoption gets framed as validation when really it's just... less volatile than retail fomo? idk, sub-optimal incentive structures all around imo

Not going public is actually more stable? I get this logic. Not being tied to institutions allows for a more relaxed approach. Monica is quite clever this time. With ample cash flow, there's no need to rush to ring the bell. Partnering with banks is more reliable than bragging about financing. XRP is indeed popular among institutions. However, in the long-term bear market, it still depends on how long the reserves can last... Privatized operations are indeed enjoyable, with fewer shareholder complaints.

Going public is not necessary, having money is the confidence, envy for this kind of resolve Huh, collaborating with Standard Chartered? Now that's real gold and silver It should have been like this a long time ago, don't be kidnapped by going public Sounds nice, but when the market drops, you have to reconsider, don't pretend to be calm Is there still someone buying XRP? Feels like the hype has cooled down The cost of privatized operation isn't low either, how is this accounted for? Having money and not going public, it's just fear of being criticized by investors I just remembered, the SEC issue from last time hasn't been fully resolved yet The most deceptive part of fundraising numbers is that the project itself is the real indicator, Ripple understands Having sufficient cash flow, it's a different feeling

Not going public actually makes one more clear-headed, indicating that Ripple is truly valuable. Promising to stay private and be more carefree, only to realize how difficult it is when the coin price drops to the bottom. Whether XRP can rise this time is the key; everything else is superficial. Institutional cooperation sounds appealing, but when will this translate into actual profits? Having sufficient cash flow is indeed powerful, at least not being hostage to retail investors and capitalists. The collaboration with Standard Chartered is hyped up, but how is it actually implemented, everyone? I just want to know, with the bear market coming, how long can Ripple last? Privatized operation sounds great, but I’m worried that one day they might suddenly announce new financing, and it’s a whole new story. So when will XRP take off? That’s the real question. Not going IPO and still making money—that’s true smartness.
