The repurchase is structured as a tender offer that will allow employees and earlier investors to sell shares back to Ripple.

Multiple outlets say the tender is expected to run through April.

CoinDesk and The Block cite anonymous sources describing the mechanics, while CryptoPotato and Coinpaper also report the buyback targets both employees and previous investors and give the same April timeframe.

The buyback lifts Ripple’s valuation above the $40 billion mark it held after a November fundraising round that raised $500 million.

Multiple pieces — including The Block, CoinDesk and Coinpaper — recall that November financing and frame the $750 million repurchase as the firm moving from a $40 billion valuation up to roughly $50 billion.

Company statements and reporting frame the buyback as part of Ripple’s broader financial strategy.

Bloomberg calls it a move to return capital and reflect strong performance.

The Block and CoinDesk note Ripple’s continued transaction volumes and executive comments about staying private, including Monica Long saying Ripple has no plans for an IPO.

Coverage ties the buyback to the firm’s growth and product expansion narrative.

News outlets place the buyback in broader market context, noting it arrives amid a weak crypto market.
