Former director Sean McBride is urging Ripple to consider an aggressive acquisition strategy. Recently, Ripple made a significant move by transferring 150 million XRP coins worth $78 million to its own wallet.
McBride emphasizes the importance of reinvesting in the company, building on its successes, and repeating this cycle to stay competitive in the rapidly evolving fintech industry. He believes that with Ripple’s strong financial position, now is the time to pursue strategic acquisitions that can enhance its product offerings and expand its market reach.
Ripple’s deliberate approach to investing in other businesses is aimed at strengthening its ecosystem. Recent partnerships with companies like Clear Lake Junction in the UK and Hashkey DX in Japan demonstrate the potential benefits of further acquisition tactics, as reported by Crypto News Flash.
Speculation arose when Ripple’s CEO highlighted the company’s substantial cash reserves during a recent debate. The transfer of 150 million XRP coins to a specific wallet, worth $78 million, raised questions within the XRP community and the wider cryptocurrency market. However, analysis by Bithomp XRP explorer confirmed that the recipient wallet belongs to Ripple, suggesting that this transaction is part of strategic financial operations rather than a token sale.
Despite fluctuations in XRP’s price, currently at $0.4919 with a 1.54% decrease in the last 24 hours and a 5.15% drop over the past week, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse remains optimistic about the future. He has previously mentioned the possibility of introducing an XRP ETF by 2025.
