While the deal details are still being discussed, the effort marks one of the largest fundraises centered on XRP.
Ripple’s buyback plan comes after a tough week for crypto markets. Escalating global trade tensions recently sparked a wave of sell-offs that caused major price drops across Bitcoin and altcoins. Despite the dip, Ripple appears undeterred.
Many investors have grown cautious about digital-asset treasuries. Shares of other crypto accumulators such as Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. and Japan’s Metaplanet have fallen in recent months. Even so, Ripple is pressing forward, signaling long-term faith in XRP and its ecosystem.
Alongside the buyback, Ripple has agreed to acquire GTreasury, a treasury management software provider, in a $1 billion deal. The acquisition aims to help Ripple strengthen its ties with corporate treasurers and provide access to tokenized deposits, stablecoins, and other digital assets.
As of July 31, Ripple held 4.74 billion XRP, worth about $11 billion, with an additional 35.9 billion coins in escrow. Despite the recent market shake-up, XRP is still up 13% in 2025, slightly behind Bitcoin’s 16% rise.
Ripple’s $1 billion XRP buyback is more than a financial move. It’s a message. Even in a shaky market, the company is betting big on its token’s future and its growing role in global finance.
