Ripple Labs is spearheading an effort to raise at least $1 billion to accumulate XRP via a new digital-asset treasury, or DAT, according to Bloomberg, signaling that the latest bout of market turmoil has not dislodged heavyweight players from advancing aggressive balance-sheet strategies tied to crypto assets.<\/p>\n

$1 Billion XRP Buying Pressure Ahead?<\/h2>\n

People familiar with the matter told<\/a> Bloomberg the vehicle would be capitalized through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), with Ripple also planning to contribute some of its own XRP. \u201cRepresentatives for Ripple did not respond to requests for comment. Exact terms of the transaction remain under discussion and could change,\u201d Bloomberg reported, underscoring that while the plan is live, its contours are not yet finalized.<\/p>\n

The timing places Ripple\u2019s move squarely against a fragile market backdrop. A week after a heavy selloff triggered record liquidations, sentiment remains brittle. Against that context, the contemplated DAT is notable on several fronts.<\/p>\n

First, the scale: \u201cRipple Labs Inc. is leading an effort to raise at least $1 billion to accumulate XRP,\u201d Bloomberg reported, adding that if completed, \u201cit would be the biggest one to focus on XRP.\u201d<\/p>\n

Second, the structure: a SPAC-funded DAT reflects the 2025 wave of publicly listed token accumulators that have proliferated through reverse takeovers or SPAC listings. Bloomberg observed that \u201cthroughout 2025, digital-asset boosters set up an array of publicly listed token accumulators,\u201d noting that \u201ctoday, there are more than 300 entities holding Bitcoin alone, according to BitcoinTreasuries.net.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Market Backdrop<\/h2>\n

While Bitcoin-focused treasuries dominate that landscape, Bloomberg emphasized that \u201cXRP hasn\u2019t drawn the same level of interest from DAT investors as Bitcoin.\u201d\u00a0This initiative would attempt to change that balance. By design, a DAT channels committed capital into a defined acquisition mandate\u2014here, XRP\u2014creating programmatic buy-side flow that can be measured against circulating supply dynamics and secondary-market liquidity.<\/p>\n

The framing of $1 billion in potential purchasing capacity invites obvious questions about incremental demand. Yet the wire also cautions that investor appetite for token accumulators has cooled: \u201cInvestors have also gotten more skeptical about DATs, with shares of major crypto accumulators including Michael Saylor\u2019s Strategy Inc.<\/a> and Japan\u2019s Metaplanet Inc. <\/a>posting steep declines in recent months.\u201d That skepticism is precisely the environment in which Ripple is attempting to stand up a new vehicle.<\/p>\n

While XRP-specific accumulation vehicles have been relatively scarce compared to Bitcoin, there are a few already established: In May, sustainable-energy firm VivoPower International announced a $121 million fundraising.
\nNotably, the report comes the same day that Ripple agreed to buy treasury management software provider GTreasury for $1 billion<\/a>, according to a Thursday announcement.<\/p>\n

At press time, XRP traded at $2.33.<\/p>\n
