VivoPower International is pursuing a strategy to acquire XRP at an 84% discount by purchasing shares in Ripple, as revealed by Adam Traidman, former Ripple board member and chair of VivoPower’s advisory board. This 'DAT 2.0' or 'anti-DAT' approach was detailed during an XRP Meetup NYC event, where Traidman explained the plan to leverage Ripple’s equity structure to obtain XRP at a reduced rate and subsequently deploy the tokens into yield-generating networks like Flare. Traidman likened the current state of digital asset treasury companies to the investment trust bubble of the early 2000s, highlighting that many have experienced significant stock price declines of 80–90%. As of the report, XRP was trading at $2.44.
