XRP AS A STRATEGIC RESERVE!

What news comes to us from Nasdaq! VivoPower, an energy company listed there, has just announced an agreement to create a strategic reserve of XRP. Yes, you heard it right! They are becoming the first company to directly include Ripple Labs' cryptocurrency in their corporate treasury.

To achieve this, VivoPower issued 20 million shares at an average price of $6.05 each, raising a sum of $121 million. The private offering was led by none other than Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Abdulaziz Al Saud, which undoubtedly marks a turning point in the adoption of digital assets by large corporations. And how did the market react? Well, VivoPower's shares surged considerably, reaching a peak of $8.30 before stabilizing at $6.81.

Interestingly, despite all this commotion with VivoPower, the price of XRP remained quite calm, hovering around $2.30. That means it is still 32% below its all-time high of $3.39, which was reached in January 2025.

This shows us a growing trend of companies viewing digital assets as a way to store value, something that figures like Michael Saylor and his MicroStrategy have popularized with Bitcoin. While Bitcoin is the "digital gold", other cryptocurrencies like XRP have been seen more as trading and speculation tools. But with this move by VivoPower, perhaps that will start to change!

WILL MORE COMPANIES OR CORPORATIONS INTEGRATE?

WILL XRP EVER DANCE ON ITS OWN AND NOT TO THE TUNE OF BITCOIN?
