What is Ripple?

Developer of a blockchain technology platform intended to help financial institutions to send money across borders, instantly, reliably and for fractions of a penny. The company's platform provides an open-source payment system using a math-based virtual currency called XRP that helps in free payments to merchants, consumers and developers, enabling customers to pay in any currency with no chargebacks and instant global payments options.Through offices in San Francisco, New York, London, Sydney, Luxembourg, Singapore and Mumbai, Ripple serves more than 300 financial institutions across over 40 countries as of 2019.

Business Development

Ripple effectively exists as three separate but interrelated things.

1. The Ripple Network (or RippleNet). A digital payment network for financial transactions.

2. Ripple Labs. The company that develops the Ripple Network, XRP and other blockchain payment solutions for financial institutions.

3. XRP. The digital currency that works on the Ripple Network. We believe RippleNet will become central/most adopted international B2B payment system worldwide. Today, the RippleNet advanced blockchain is used by a growing network of more than 300 providers spanning 40 countries across six continents. Some of the biggest adopters of Ripple include American Express, Santander, and US-based money transfer company MoneyGram. There are whispers that VISA and Western Union are seriously considering switching over to the Ripple platform in the not-so-distant future.

Ripple is not a crypto company but a cross-border payment business, while XRP is a crypto currency.

Ripple Labs has announced a $285 million share buyback as part of a tender offer. This initiative allows the company to repurchase shares from early investors and employees, effectively valuing Ripple at $11.3 billion. The buyback plan, confirmed by Ripple, includes a total commitment of $500 million, covering the conversion of restricted stock units (RSUs) and the purchase of shares.

The buyback strategy aims to provide liquidity for early investors while maintaining Ripple's private status, especially amid the regulatory uncertainties in the U.S. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse mentioned that the company holds over $1 billion in cash and $25 billion in cryptocurrency assets, primarily in XRP. This move comes after Ripple secured a partial win in its ongoing legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), where a judge ruled that XRP is not considered a security for programmatic sales

Could Ripple reach $10,000?

Ripple shares and XRP are two separate things.

Ripple is a global payments network with major banks and financial services providers as its customers. XRP is a cryptocurrency developed by Ripple that is used in Ripple products to facilitate quick conversion between different currencies.

Ripple stock is very unlikely to reach that target, while we do not consider XRP in our analysis of the company Ripple.
