Ripple Secures $500 Million in Funding on November 5, 2025

According to media reports, Ripple secured $500 million in funding on November 5, 2025. The round was led by prominent institutions including Pantera Capital, Galaxy Digital, BH Digital, Citadel Securities, Marshall Wace, and Fortress Investment Group. With this latest capital injection, Ripple’s cumulative fundraising total has reached $783 million, and its latest valuation stands at $40 billion.Ripple is a real-time gross settlement system, currency exchange, and remittance network developed by US technology firm Ripple Labs Inc. Launched in 2012, the project is built on a distributed open-source protocol and supports tokens representing fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies, commodities, or other units of value. Ripple aims to enable “secure, instant, and nearly free global financial transactions of any size without chargebacks.” This substantial funding round underscores the continued interest of traditional financial institutions in blockchain-based payment solutions and signals the cryptocurrency sector’s transition from speculation to practical use. Innovative technologies in cross-border payments are increasingly gaining recognition from mainstream financial markets.Notably, Ripple has achieved several significant milestones in recent years. On July 13, 2023, Ripple won a ruling from the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, which confirmed that XRP is not considered a security—removing a major regulatory hurdle for the project’s development. Following this decision, major exchanges resumed XRP trading on July 14, 2023. By January 2, 2025, XRP’s market capitalization surpassed that of USDT, reclaiming its position among the top three cryptocurrencies by market cap and demonstrating strong market performance. Ripple has also actively supported ecosystem development: in September 2021, it announced a $250 million fund to support NFT projects on the XRP Ledger; in March 2022, it launched a grant program totaling 1 billion XRP. These initiatives highlight Ripple’s commitment not only to payment solutions but also to expanding the application scenarios of blockchain technology, laying a solid foundation for the long-term growth of the digital asset industry.
