Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has adopted a more flexible position on a potential initial public offering (IPO), saying the company is now "a little more neutral" on the question. Speaking at the 2026 Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, he said Ripple had been "very happy as a privately held company for a long time." Ripple previously said an IPO was not a near-term priority and that it had no specific plan or timeline. The latest comments, reported by U.Today, indicate that Ripple is no longer ruling out a listing, although they do not establish a timetable or commitment to proceed.
