Ripple CEO takes more neutral stance on IPO possibility

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has signaled a more flexible stance on the possibility of an initial public offering, U.Today reported. Speaking at the 2026 Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, Garlinghouse said in English, "Ripple has been very happy as a privately held company for a long time" and was now "a little more neutral" on the IPO question. Ripple had previously said an IPO was not a near-term priority and had no specific plan or timeline, but the latest remarks suggest the company is no longer ruling out a listing, the outlet added.
