Ripple President States No Current Plans For IPO: What It Means For XRP Prices
Blockchain payments company Ripple has no immediate plans to follow the trend of digital asset firms going public. In a recent interview with Bloomberg at the company’s Swell conference in New York, Ripple President Monica Long stated, “We do not have an IPO timeline. No plan, no timeline.” Her comments highlight the company’s present priorities, which include expanding its payments business, launching dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies, often known as stablecoins, and forming new alliances, rather than pursuing an initial public offering. IPO Aspirations Remain On Hold These remarks come shortly after Ripple successfully closed a $500 million funding round earlier this week, achieving a valuation of $40 billion. This funding round was led by notable investors such as Fortress Investment Group and Citadel Securities, along with contributions from Pantera Capital, Galaxy Digital, Brevan Howard, and Marshall Wace.

Long emphasized that the company remains “very well capitalized,” allowing it to fund “organic growth” and pursue acquisitions or partnerships without needing to turn to the public markets. This decision positions Ripple differently from its peers, including stablecoin issuer Circle (CRCL), Bullish (BLSH), and Gemini (GEMI), all of which have recently gone public in the US as part of a broader wave of digital asset listings. For holders of XRP, Ripple’s choice to delay an initial public offering presents mixed implications. On one hand, the lack of a near-term public listing might postpone hopes for a liquidity event that could enhance XRP’s market visibility. Conversely, the recent funding round and a reportedly doubled customer base quarter-over-quarter bolster confidence in Ripple’s growth trajectory and its stablecoin payment strategy. Institutional Confidence In Ripple Analysts suggest that the $500 million raise at a $40 billion valuation reflects strong institutional confidence in Ripple’s long-term prospects. Coupled with the increasing on-chain adoption of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) for stablecoin and cross-border payments, this funding could help stabilize XRP’s price and pave the way for future rallies, especially if Ripple continues to expand its presence in the enterprise sector.

Long noted that clearer regulations in the US and internationally have “opened up the market,” leading to a surge in adoption. Currently, XRP is trading within its short-term range, which formed following continuous corrections between $2 and $2.60. The altcoin is currently trading at $2.32 and has seen a 4.7% recovery in the past 24 hours, with a clear resistance wall at $2.69. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
Solana’s ETF Era Could ‘Redefine Its Position In The Crypto Hierarchy’ – Report
Following the launch of the first Solana (SOL) Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) in the US, Bybit analysts believe that the cryptocurrency could enter a multi-quarter rally fueled by institutional demand. Related Reading: Cathie Wood Trims Her 2030 Bitcoin Price Prediction To $1.2 Million – Here’s Why Solana ETF Era To ‘Reshape’ Price Trajectory On Friday, crypto exchange Bybit discussed the potential impact of the recently launched Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) and Grayscale Solana Trust ETF (GSOL) on the altcoin’s long-term narrative and performance. In its Crypto Insights Report, the exchange noted that the altcoin joined Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as one of the digital assets with regulated brokerage access in the US, marking a key milestone that could reshape “its price trajectory and market structure for years to come.” The report highlighted that SOL’s performance will likely benefit from the global expansion of SOL-focused products. Notably, Hong Kong also approved and launched the first Solana Spot ETF by China Asset Management in late October. Meanwhile, Brazil and Canada also host Solana ETFs, which create “a multi-jurisdictional framework that enhances global liquidity and price discovery.” Nonetheless, the crypto exchange considers that the most significant impact is “the narrative shift they catalyze,” as the cryptocurrency “is no longer just a high-beta altcoin favored by retail traders — it’s now a regulated, yield-bearing asset with institutional access and global distribution.” This rebranding aligns with Solana’s technical evolution, as its role in powering tokenized treasuries, real-world assets and permissioned stablecoin issuance makes it a foundational layer for the next generation of financial infrastructure. The exchange argued that Solana may transition from a speculative asset to providing a strategic allocation in diversified portfolios as macro conditions stabilize and ETF inflows build. SOL ‘On The Cusp Of Multi-Quarter Rally’ According to Farside Investors’ data, the SOL-based investment products have recorded over $300 million in inflows since launching last week, signaling strong institutional demand for the Solana ETFs. However, the altcoin’s price retraced around 8% during the ETF’s first trading week. Additionally, SOL’s price has fallen nearly 20% on the weekly timeframe, reaching a four-month low of $144 earlier this week. Despite the short-term volatility, Bybit affirmed that the ETF listings “represent a structural shift in how SOL is accessed, traded and perceived,” dramatically expanding SOL’s investor base. The report emphasized that the subdued response echoes the “sell-the-news” dynamic seen in BTC and ETH’s ETF approvals. Both cryptocurrencies experienced short-term corrections after their respective spot ETF launches before recovering on sustained inflows. “Solana may be following a similar pattern, with early profit-taking and whale rotation — such as Jump Crypto’s large on-chain transfer — temporarily suppressing upside momentum,” Bybit affirmed.

As a result, if inflows reach $2-3 billion in the next year, the cryptocurrency could revisit its all-time high (ATH) levels, and even rally toward $300–$350. “If historical patterns hold, Solana could be on the cusp of a multi-quarter rally that redefines its position in the crypto hierarchy,” the exchange concluded. As of this writing, Solana is trading at $154, a 1% decline in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Bitcoin Options Craze: OI Looks Set To Keep Printing ATHs, Glassnode Says
Glassnode has explained how the Bitcoin options Open Interest has been climbing recently and looks set to explore new all-time highs (ATHs). Bitcoin Options Open Interest Has Already Bounced Back From Oct Expiry In a new thread on X, analytics firm Glassnode has discussed about the Bitcoin options market. This segment of derivatives trading involves traders betting on future price moves through contracts giving the right (but not the obligation) to sell or buy the cryptocurrency at a set price. Related Reading: Bitcoin Erases Recovery As Coinbase Users Relentlessly Sell Earlier, perpetual futures was the main derivatives trading pathway that investors in the sector used, but recently, demand for options has grown enough to challenge the futures market. One way to gauge interest in options is through the Open Interest, an indicator that measures the total amount of contracts related to the market that are currently open on all centralized exchanges. Here is the chart shared by Glassnode that shows the trend in the Bitcoin options Open Interest over the last few months: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin options Open Interest reached a new record on October 31st. Shortly after, however, the metric saw a plunge due to the contract expiry. Options contracts come with an “expiry” date, on which the contract get either exercised or automatically closed out. A large amount of these expiries coincided on October 31st, which is why the indicator saw a flush. Interestingly, the options Open Interest has been quick to bounce back since then, with its value already halfway back to the ATH. Thus, it would appear demand for options is still alive and well. From the chart, it’s apparent that a similar pattern was also witnessed after the previous major expiry, when the metric gradually recovered and explored new records. “The options market open interest looks set to keep printing new ATHs, expiry after expiry,” explained the analytics firm.

As for whether investors are opening bearish or bullish trades with these moves, data suggests bearish bets, or “puts,” initially rose during the plunge, but then bullish bets, or “calls,” saw a surge as price rebounded. Once again, however, puts have seen a rise, indicating investors don’t trust a bottom has appeared yet. BTC Price Bitcoin has retraced its recent recovery as its price is back at $100,900.
