Will Ripple go public?
After a lengthy legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Ripple continues to expand and grow through new partnerships and acquisitions. Whether this company will go public in the future remains a topic of discussion in the industry.
Will Ripple go public?
Although the matter is still inconclusive, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently made his latest statement. At the 2026 Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, Garlinhouse said he was neutral on the possibility of an initial public offering (IPO). He emphasized that the company had not yet made a final decision on the IPO, and noted that Ripple would be happy to remain private because of its solid financial position and low need for financing through the IPO.
However, Galinghouse used the term "more neutral" when talking about the IPO, implying that he no longer completely ruled out the possibility of a Ripple listing. He also mentioned that Ripple has made approximately $3 billion in shareholder buybacks in the past two years and recently completed approximately $2.5 billion in acquisitions.
Ripple CEO Monica Long said earlier this year: "Ripple already has enough investment power to support the company's growth, so there is no need for an IPO."
September 15 will be a key node of the Clarification Act!
While Ripple's CEO talked about going public, Ripple's chief legal officer Stuart Alderoty made important remarks on the future of the Clariity Act, a key U.S. cryptocurrency bill. At the 2026 Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, Aldrotti said September 15 will be a key turning point for the bill. He pointed out that a preliminary procedural vote in the Senate that day will determine whether the bill can continue to advance in Congress.
Aldrotti emphasized that there is still a feasible path forward for the Clarification Act in Congress and reminded attention to the Senate vote scheduled for September 15. He said the bill needed 60 votes to enter the review process and they were waiting for legislative progress.
Even if the bill fails to pass, supervision will continue!
Aldrotti expects the Clarification Act to pass Congress, but he also believes that even if the bill fails to pass, U.S. regulatory efforts in the field of cryptocurrencies will not completely stop. However, he added that regulation alone is not enough and the industry needs a permanent legal framework.
Aldrotti also pointed out that if the Clarification Act fails to be enacted, its impact will not be limited to the U.S. cryptocurrency industry. He warned that regulatory uncertainty could cause businesses and investments to escape overseas, and that the United States could miss out on major opportunities in jobs, innovation and economic activity.
