Ripple has confirmed it is not planning to go public, even after resolving a long legal dispute with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
During an interview with Bloomberg on November 5, Monica Long, the president of Ripple, stated that the company is not working toward an initial public offering and has no plans to do so in the near future.
According to Long, Ripple is in a strong financial position and can support its growth goals internally without turning to public markets.

Although Ripple does not share complete yearly financials, the research firm CB Insights has estimated its 2024 revenue at approximately $1.3 billion.
