Ripple Plans $750M Share Buyback at $50B Valuation as RLUSD Market Cap Tops $1B

Ripple Labs is reportedly launching a secondary share repurchase of up to $750 million that would value the company at $50 billion, a 25% increase from its November 2025 funding round valuation. The move comes as Ripple expands through acquisitions, grows its RLUSD stablecoin to a $1 billion market cap, and pursues a U.S. national trust bank charter, even as XRP's price has dropped more than 53% over the past six months. The tender offer is expected to stay open through April and will allow existing investors and employees to sell shares while Ripple consolidates its ownership structure.
