Ripple Secures $500M Financing, Valuation at $40B, as XRP-Driven Expansion Broadens Services

COINOTAG reported on Nov 5 that Ripple closed a $500 million funding round, valuing the company at about $40 billion. The capital raise follows a sequence of acquisitions and broadens Ripple‘s product strategy beyond core payments into a diversified services lineup, signaling a pivot toward a broader digital-asset infrastructure platform.

In the policy backdrop, observers note that a more favorable U.S. regulatory tone may materialize as political events unfold and legislation like the GENIUS Act advances. This context could help crypto and digital-asset firms pursue aggressive expansion.

The funding round was led by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group, Citadel Securities affiliates, along with Pantera Capital, Galaxy Digital, Brevan Howard, and Marshall Wace, underscoring broad institutional backing for Ripple and its XRP-linked operations.
