- Ripple’s pivotal legal win over the SEC and potential IPO incites a ripple of optimism in the crypto community.
- Linda P. Jones’s analysis propels hopes for an exorbitant Ripple stock valuation mirroring that of tech giants.
In a recent turn of events, Ripple (XRP) emerges victorious from its legal brawl with the US SEC, a milestone we highlighted in our latest update on Ripple’s IPO Fever and related articles. This monumental triumph not only propelled XRP’s market position but incited fervent discussions around Ripple’s prospective Initial Public Offering (IPO).
A Laudable Legal Win: Dodging the SEC’s Wrath
The noteworthy verdict by Judge Analisa Torres stated that the secondary sales of XRP tokens were not to be classified as investment contracts, thus, escaping the dreaded securities tag under the SEC’s lens. Post-verdict, the market saw a remarkable upswing in XRP’s price and trading volume. Previously wary cryptocurrency platforms quickly welcomed XRP back into their fold, significantly broadening its market footprint.
IPO Speculations: Eyeing the $1 Milestone and Beyond
The legal clarity, coupled with the rejuvenated trading activities, has now shifted the narrative towards the likelihood of XRP breaching the $1 milestone, and perhaps more. As Ripple gears up for its celebratory Proper Party on September 28, the buzz around Ripple’s valuation and the IPO speculation intensifies. Wall Street maven Linda P. Jones elucidated how Ripple’s stock value could soar post-IPO, mirroring the prosperous narrative of Coinbase’s IPO. According to Jones, “The substantial legal clarity and vast XRP reserves in escrow might propel Ripple’s valuation post-IPO to emulate or even surpass Coinbase’s trajectory.”
Valuation Analysis: Parallel with Coinbase
Jones’s discourse presents a captivating case for Ripple’s valuation ascension. By drawing parallels with Coinbase’s significant valuation surge post-IPO, she underlined a plausible pathway for Ripple, especially given its hefty escrow-held XRP reserve, currently valued at an astounding $21 billion. She further speculated that akin to tech stalwarts like Nvidia, Apple, and Amazon, Ripple’s collaboration with noteworthy enterprises and its inherent potential could significantly morph its valuation, thereby redefining the financial landscape within the cryptocurrency domain.
This resonates with the claims circulating within the XRP community about a possible IPO, spurred further by Jones’s bold valuation of $5.7 billion for Ripple’s stock. By analyzing the market cap of the circulating XRP, which is over $21 billion, she contested that the $35 per share valuation is grossly undervalued.
Drawing comparisons to Coinbase’s IPO, she proposed a staggering valuation of $107 billion for Ripple. This escalated valuation could send Ripple’s stock soaring to around $600, potentially even catapulting it to a half-a-trillion valuation, aligning it with high-value entities like Nvidia or Apple.
The conjectures around Ripple’s IPO and the enticing valuation propositions continue to stoke the curiosity and anticipation among investors, fostering a climate of expectancy as the crypto community keenly awaits Ripple’s next move.
