$XRP Vivopower demonstrates aggressive confidence in XRP by acquiring shares #Ripple at a discount to secure a significant number of tokens and position itself for growth alongside the rapidly expanding blockchain and digital asset ecosystem of Ripple.
Growth in XRP is expected as Vivopower leverages expanding Ripple blockchain projects:
Vivopower International Plc (Nasdaq: VVPR) announced on August 11, 2025, that it will secure a core position equivalent to 211 million XRP tokens, valued at approximately $696 million, through a budgeted initial acquisition of $100 million in shares of private company Ripple Labs. The company stated:
==========
Based on current market prices (which may be subject to volatility and significant changes), a $100 million purchase of Ripple shares translates to exposure to 211 million XRP tokens with a current market value of $696 million.
============
It was also noted:
"Vivopower has the opportunity to acquire Ripple at an average weighted valuation of approximately $19 billion, representing an 86% discount compared to the $135 billion that Ripple holds in XRP tokens (not accounting for other business divisions of Ripple, including RLUSD, its stablecoin)."
Agreements — pending final approval by Ripple's executive management — follow a two-month process of thorough review and are central to the digital asset strategy focused on XRP in Vivopower's treasury.
Vivopower has confirmed that it will continue to directly acquire and hold XRP. The company stated that it will be the first publicly registered firm in the U.S. to provide shareholders access to both Ripple shares and XRP tokens. Executive Chairman and CEO Kevin Chin said that the portfolio strategy includes purchasing a combination of Ripple shares and XRP tokens to maximize returns and reduce the average weighted cost of XRP. According to the company, the approach aims to leverage the inherent value of XRP in Ripple shares to acquire tokens at a price below market value.
Adam Traidman, Chairman of the Advisory Board of Vivopower and former member of the Ripple board, highlighted the cost benefit:
==========
By acquiring Ripple shares, Vivopower will not only receive XRP at valuations up to 86% lower than purchasing XRP directly on the market but will also gain a stake in Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin and other business divisions, including Hidden Road, Rail, and Metaco.
===========
Vivopower will have direct legal ownership of all purchased Ripple shares, avoiding special purpose companies with built-in fees and providing its assets for quarterly independent audits.
Supporters believe that such a structure could provide significant growth if XRP adoption increases alongside the expanding Ripple ecosystem.
