Ripple President Teases Major Deal as Wall Street Values Firm at $40B

Published at 2026-01-07 22:30:07

Ripple’s president has hinted at a major deal while Wall Street attention mounts, with the firm being valued around $40 billion by market watchers. Executives are pitching the XRP Ledger tech stack as the core infrastructure banks will adopt once stablecoins serve as the standard rails of the financial system, framing Ripple as a potential bridge between legacy finance and tokenized money.

If banks lean on ledger-based stablecoin rails, the shift would strengthen network effects for Ripple’s stack and could increase demand for on-chain settlement tools. Observers say regulatory clarity and integration timelines remain key variables, but the company’s push positions it squarely in conversations about how traditional finance will migrate to tokenized rails.
