Ripple（XRP）取消其2025 IPO计划：这就是为什么

尽管持续的嗡嗡声和多年的猜测，但Ripple已确认它在2025年没有IPO的计划。XRP背后的公司正在选择另一条路径

Despite a recent report by CCW that suggested Ripple (CRYPTO: XRP) might be planning an initial public offering (IPO) in 2025, the company president has now confirmed that this isn't the case.

尽管CCW最近的报告表明Ripple（Crypto：XRP）可能计划在2025年计划进行首次公开​​募股（IPO），但公司总裁现在已经确认并非如此。

What Happened: Rumors of an IPO have swirled for years, and with Ripple’s long-standing legal dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) now at least partially resolved, it seemed like the time could be coming.

发生的事情：关于IPO的谣言已经旋转了多年，并且随着Ripple与美国证券交易委员会（SEC）（SEC）的长期法律纠纷，现在至少部分解决了部分问题，似乎是时候了。

However, speaking with CNBC on Wednesday, Ripple President Monica Long said the company is in no hurry to go public. She pointed out that companies usually pursue IPOs when they need to raise capital or increase market awareness—neither of which is a priority for Ripple right now.

但是，Ripple总裁莫妮卡·朗（Monica Long）在周三与CNBC交谈时说，该公司并不急于公开。她指出，公司通常在需要提高资本或提高市场意识的情况下进行IPO，这绝不是Ripple的优先事项。

"We have no plans for an IPO in 2025. We are a company that is financially strong, we have billions of dollars in cash, and we are not in a hurry to go public," Long said.

朗说：“我们没有计划在2025年进行IPO。我们是一家财务强势，我们拥有数十亿美元的现金，我们并不急于上市。”

"Typically, companies go public when they need to raise capital or they want to increase market awareness for their brand. But we don't need to do either of those things at the moment."

“通常，公司在需要筹集资金或想提高对品牌的市场知名度时公开公开。但是目前我们不需要做任何一项事情。”

Also on Wednesday, CEO Brad Garlinghouse confirmed that the company isn’t planning to go public anytime soon and doesn’t require any external funding.

同样在周三，首席执行官布拉德·加林豪斯（Brad Garlinghouse）确认，该公司不打算很快公开公开，也不需要任何外部资金。

A Long Time Coming: Rumors of an IPO from Ripple first began in 2022, when Garlinghouse said it would be a consideration once the company’s legal battles with the SEC were over.

很长一段时间：关于Ripple的IPO的谣言始于2022年，当时Garlinghouse表示，一旦公司与SEC的法律斗争结束，这将是一个考虑因素。

The SEC sued Ripple in December 2020, alleging that its flagship XRP token was sold illegally in an unregistered securities offering. A judge partially ruled in favor of the SEC in April, but the case is still ongoing.

SEC于2020年12月起诉Ripple，声称其旗舰XRP令牌是在未注册的证券产品中非法出售的。法官部分裁定4月份支持SEC，但此案仍在进行中。

Garlinghouse previously said that an IPO wasn’t a top priority when he was asked about it in late 2023.

加林豪斯（Garlinghouse）此前曾表示，当IPO在2023年末被问及时，这并不是重中之重。

Earlier this year, it was reported that Ripple was planning to buy back shares from investors at a valuation of $11.3 billion, which would value the company lower than the $15 billion peak it hit in 2022.

据报道，据报道，Ripple计划以113亿美元的估值从投资者那里购回股票，这将重视该公司低于2022年达到150亿美元的高峰。

The buyback ultimately raised $285 million for existing investors, bringing the total amount of funding that Ripple has raised to $318.5 million. Investors in the company include Andreessen Horowitz, Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Ventures, and Founders Fund.

回购最终为现有投资者筹集了2.85亿美元，使Ripple筹集的总资金总额达到3.185亿美元。该公司的投资者包括Andreessen Horowitz，Google（NASDAQ：GOOGL）企业和创始人基金会。

Instead of going public, Ripple has been focusing on growing through acquisitions. A major move this year was the $1.25 billion purchase of Hidden Road, a prime broker that handles $3 trillion in annual transactions.

Ripple并没有公开，而是专注于通过收购而发展。今年的重大举措是购买了12.5亿美元的隐藏道路，这是一家总经纪人，可处理3万亿美元的年度交易。

This deal is part of a broader effort by Ripple to expand its role in global finance and to boost the adoption of its stablecoin, RLUSD.

这项交易是Ripple更广泛努力扩大其在全球金融中的作用并提高其采用Stablecoin Rlusd的一部分的一部分。
