Ripple's private market valuation has surged to between $22 billion and $30 billion in 2025, marking a two to threefold increase since the start of the year. This growth is driven by a 366% rise in the value of its native token, XRP, which now boasts a market cap approaching $150 billion. The company has expanded its influence through strategic acquisitions, including GTreasury, Hidden Road, and Rail, positioning itself as a formidable competitor to Circle. Under the leadership of CEO Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple continues to focus on enhancing shareholder value.
