Ripple\u2019s latest $750 million share buyback has split the XRP community in two. While some members see the internal buy-and-sell cycle<\/a> as a sign of strength for both the crypto payments company and XRP, others argue that the move exposes a cycle that has always put retail XRP holders at the bottom of the food chain.<\/p>\n

Ripple\u2019s Buyback Leaves Retail Questioning XRP Loyalty<\/b><\/h2>\n

Crypto analyst @WhaleFUD has ignited a new debate within the crypto community by revealing<\/a> details on Ripple\u2019s internal buy and sell cycle and how it impacts XRP. In an X post on Wednesday, he noted that Ripple sells XRP<\/a> and uses the proceeds to fund share buybacks for its own private equity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to him, venture capital (VC) firms and institutional investors are buying shares in Ripple, the crypto company, rather than XRP, the native token of the XRP Ledger (XRPL)<\/a>. This means that any increase in Ripple\u2019s corporate value does not directly benefit XRP holders<\/a>. As @WhaleFUD put it, \u201cRetail is the liquidity,\u201d while \u201cWall Street is the winner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, the post triggered a sharp reaction from various members of the XRP community, with many criticizing Ripple for favoring equity holders over XRP holders. Community members argued<\/a> that this structure gives Ripple zero incentive to support XRP\u2019s long-term success.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some alleged<\/a> that Ripple\u2019s leadership profits from XRP transactions by using escrow sales to fund buybacks and increase share prices ahead of the company\u2019s initial public offering (IPO)<\/a>. They pointed to the launch of the RLUSD stablecoin as a product that competes with the XRPL\u2019s use cases<\/a>, further implying that retail investors are being sidelined.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Additionally, they compared Ripple\u2019s internal buy-and-sell cycle to historical crypto trends, citing the 2017 initial coin offerings (ICOs) and 2021 layer-1 (L1) launches, in which retail holders provided liquidity while early investors repeated the financial rewards. Another member added<\/a> that Ripple now has no reason to ensure XRP holders profit, suggesting that the company has handed itself to VC backers and now prioritizes institutional gains.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Others Say Buyback Signals XRP Confidence<\/b><\/h2>\n

While criticism from many in the crypto community rose, blockchain researcher BankXRP responded<\/a> to the buyback news with a more positive take. He argued that Ripple\u2019s latest buyback move signals strength in the company and XRP.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to reports, Ripple has launched a $750 million share buyback<\/a> from investors and employees, placing the company at a $50 billion valuation. This represents a 25% increase from the crypto company\u2019s $40 billion market value following its $500 million funding round in November 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BankXRP sees the tender offer as evidence of Ripple\u2019s liquidity and long-term confidence in the XRP ecosystem<\/a>. Notably, the buyback is moving forward despite ongoing uncertainty in the crypto market and downward pressure on the XRP price. The initiative is further supported by Ripple\u2019s recent strategic acquisitions<\/a>, including its $1 billion GTreasury purchase and the $1.25 billion acquisition of Hidden Road, among others.\u00a0<\/p>\n
