Ripple President Says No Timetable for IPO, Company to Remain Private for Now
In a Bloomberg interview on Jan. 6, 2026, Ripple President Monica Long said the company has no set timetable for a potential IPO, effectively keeping Ripple private for now. Her comments underscore management’s preference to retain flexibility rather than rush a public listing, leaving the firm’s path to public markets open but unspecified. The announcement matters for investors and the broader crypto market because an IPO would deliver new liquidity and formal valuation metrics for Ripple. By staying private, Ripple can continue prioritizing product development, partnerships and regulatory strategy without the immediate pressures of quarterly reporting. Market participants should view the update as a reminder that any listing remains conditional on timing, business priorities and broader market and regulatory conditions, rather than an imminent event.
