Company invests USD 300 million in Ripple Labs shares

Source: Criptonoticias Original Title: Company invests USD 300 million in Ripple Labs shares Original Link: South Korean company VivoPower, through its digital assets division Vivo Federation, has formed a partnership with asset manager Lean Ventures to acquire 300 million dollars in shares of Ripple Labs.

  • VivoPower holds a strategic reserve based on XRP.
  • Investors can access Ripple Labs shares and, in turn, XRP.

This investment will be made through a dedicated investment vehicle, managed by Lean Ventures, and represents an exposure to approximately 450 million underlying XRP tokens, valued at around 868 million dollars at the current market price.

Structure of the operation

The mechanism of this operation is key to understanding its structure. Since Ripple Labs is a private (non-publicly traded) company, the shares are purchased on the secondary market from other institutional investors. To mitigate risks and not jeopardize its own operating capital, VivoPower does not make the purchase in its own name, but the dedicated investment vehicle raises funds from investors. The role of Vivo Federation is to originate and acquire these shares on behalf of the vehicle.

This structure allows VivoPower to obtain an economic exposure to the potential future increase in value of Ripple Labs and XRP, mainly through management fees.

Market impact

Following the announcement of the investment in Ripple Labs, VivoPower’s shares listed on the stock exchange experienced a significant rise, going from around $2.35 to $2.66 per share today.

VivoPower’s shares increased by 13% in the last week.

Context of the alliance

In addition to this partnership, VivoPower has already expressed direct interest in the cryptocurrency by investing 121 million dollars, coming from a private placement in May 2025, to create a strategic XRP reserve in its treasury.

Lean Ventures has expressed its intention to scale the investment in managed assets beyond the initial 300 million dollars as part of this strategic alliance.
