Ripple CEO: If the company goes public, XRP holders may receive special benefits

Techub News, according to bitcoinist.com, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated that if the company eventually goes public, XRP holders may receive "special benefits," but emphasized that going public is not a current priority. He noted the underwhelming performance of recent crypto IPOs such as BitGo and Gemini, and believes that remaining a private company offers greater flexibility. Ripple was last valued at $50 billion. He said the company is increasing the utility of XRP by building infrastructure and partnerships, indirectly benefiting holders, and added that as a private company, it can speak more freely, which is one of the reasons it is not in a rush to go public.
