Ripple just sealed a major funding round at $40B valuation, closing $500M and committing to stay private for now. On the institutional front, it's partnering with heavyweight players like Mizuho Bank, SMBC Nikko, and Securitize Japan—moves that signal serious momentum in Asia's financial ecosystem.

The Singapore MAS license adds another regulatory win to the list, validating Ripple's compliance approach across jurisdictions. Meanwhile, the market's giving XRP some love. Spot XRP ETFs have pulled in $1.25B in net flows, and the token's riding a 20% rally to hit $2.25.

It's a stacked week for the project—the mix of enterprise partnerships, regulatory approvals, and genuine investor interest tells you something's clicking.

Ripple is indeed stable this time, with institutional endorsement + regulatory approval + market recognition, a three-pronged approach. --- $2.25 this price level still feels a bit虚... depends on whether it can hold. --- Frequent actions on this side of Asia, even the Bank of Japan has come to the table, which is indeed significant. --- A $40B valuation for private equity is still somewhat conservative, given the current momentum it should have gone public already, right? --- $1.25B inflow into ETFs is really not a small number, retail investors are starting to take it seriously too. --- The Singapore MAS license is the most critical; with regulatory blessing, it’s truly stable. --- Those who previously bearish on XRP are probably feeling pretty uncomfortable now haha. --- It seems Ripple is playing a big chess game, integrating banks + regulation + tokens into a three-in-one approach.

Ripple this move is indeed fierce. A $40 billion valuation and still able to raise $500 million. By the way, are these Asian banks genuinely collaborating, or is it just another marketing stunt?

What are you trying to say? Ripple seems to be really positioning itself in the institutional market, but we need to be cautious. Could the private placement with a $40B valuation be inflated?

A $40B valuation is not excessive, but this time it's really a sign of institutional recognition. The collaboration in Asia indeed has some substance.

Ripple's recent surge is truly impressive, with Asian institutions rushing in. It feels like XRP is about to take off.

Ripple is really stable this time, with $500M in funding, a $40B valuation, and partnerships with Asian banks... it feels like it's about to take off. --- XRP rising to 2.25 is truly incredible, with $1.25B in ETF entry—this is what institutional recognition looks like. --- Singapore MAS license secured, following the compliance route correctly—this is how it should be done step by step. --- Speaking of which, Ripple's insistence on not going public actually makes people trust it more... a feeling of quietly making a fortune in private. --- Major banks like Mizuho and SMBC Nikko are here, the landscape of the Asian market is about to change. --- A 20% increase is just the beginning; the next step is to see how much ETF inflow can reach. --- But to be honest, how long this XRP rally can last depends on whether there are new catalysts coming later.
