Ripple IPO: Is It About to Get Insanely Stupid? You Won’t Believe This!

by

So, here we are, folks! The crypto world is buzzing like a bee on a caffeine high because Ripple, the mastermind behind XRP, is strutting its stuff as a potential IPO contender. After Circle’s jaw-dropping debut on the NYSE, the rumor mill is churning out whispers that Ripple might just be next in line, and some cheeky analysts are throwing around the phrase “insanely stupid valuation.” Oh, darling, where do I sign up? 💸

Our favorite crypto oracle, Pentoshi, decided to stir the pot on X (because who needs a calm sea, right?), suggesting that Ripple could follow in Circle’s footsteps and go public as early as late 2025 or early 2026. No official word from Ripple yet, but hey, timing is everything, isn’t it? ⏳

Feels only logical that Ripple will have an IPO of its own soon following the CRCL IPO

it’s coming, you know it, and I know it

and likely at some insanely stupid valuation $XRP

Circle’s Success Raises the Stakes

Circle’s IPO was like that one friend who shows up to the party and steals the spotlight. With a $16.6 billion valuation on day one and a whopping $1.72 billion left on the table for underwriters, it’s no wonder other crypto firms, including Ripple, are rethinking their game plan. Talk about pressure! 😅

Currently, Ripple’s valuation is lounging around $11.3 billion, while XRP, its golden child, boasts a market cap of $132.68 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. But predicting Ripple’s potential IPO valuation? That’s like trying to guess how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop—good luck with that! 🍭

CEO Brad Garlinghouse has teased the idea of going public before, but those plans hit a snag thanks to a long, drawn-out legal tango with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Now, with Circle’s success lighting a fire under Ripple, who knows what could happen? 🔥

Pentoshi’s Post Sparks Debate

Pentoshi’s post, shared with his 866K followers (because who doesn’t love a good gossip session?), got the crypto community buzzing. He hinted that Ripple’s IPO is “coming” and teased a valuation that could rival Circle’s. Cue the dramatic music! 🎶

Of course, some users chimed in, arguing that the IPO wouldn’t really shake up XRP’s price much. One user quipped, “An IPO at this point feels more like a formality than a surprise.” Another added, “The valuation will probably melt faces.” Well, that escalated quickly! 😱

Pentoshi also reassured us that XRP would still be used for payments, even if Ripple decides to don its IPO hat. Phew! 😌

Could Ripple Be the Next Crypto IPO Star?

Ripple hasn’t confirmed anything yet, but the buzz around Circle’s IPO is setting the stage for a crypto revolution. And guess what? Gemini is already warming up in the wings, having just filed a draft registration with the SEC. Talk about a crowded stage! 🎭

The big question remains: Will Ripple make a splash with a sky-high valuation, or will those pesky SEC issues keep it grounded? 🤔

Ripple’s IPO plans aren’t official yet, but the mere speculation is enough to send ripples (pun intended) through the market. If it happens, it could change the game for how crypto companies approach going public. For now, the crypto community is on the edge of their seats, waiting to see what Ripple does next. Grab your popcorn! 🍿
