Valuing XRP: The Potential Game-Changer
Recent observations suggest that the valuation of XRP on Ripple’s balance sheet could have a significant impact on the company’s overall valuation, especially in relation to a potential IPO.
- Ripple’s ledger currently does not reflect the value of XRP.
- If Ripple decides to integrate the price of XRP into its balance sheet, the company’s assets could see a substantial increase.
- An investor named Mr. Man believes that as the price of XRP increases and it is added to Ripple’s balance sheet, the company’s assets under management will become enormous.
IPO Valuation: Comparing Ripple to Coinbase
Linda P. Jones, speaking at a Linqto investor meetup, discussed the importance of IPO valuation and compared Ripple to Coinbase, a crypto platform that went public with a valuation of 86 billion.
- Ripple’s current valuation is 6.6 billion, indicating significant growth potential.
- Linda speculated that Ripple could experience a tenfold increase in valuation, similar to Coinbase’s trajectory.
Unlocking XRP’s Undervalued Potential
Ripple currently does not assign a value to XRP on its balance sheet, but if it chooses to do so, the company’s valuation could dramatically increase, especially if XRP reaches previous peak prices.
- Assigning a value to XRP, even at current or higher rates, could unlock unprecedented investment opportunities.
- Ripple’s recent legal win and announcements about celebrating in New York have fueled speculation about an upcoming IPO.
- Ripple’s valuation has already seen significant growth, from 9.8 billion in 2019 to 15 billion after a series of funding rounds.
