SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG), a well-known crypto researcher on X, has delivered an important message to XRP holders. He signaled that a major Ripple announcement is coming, and made it clear that many skeptics are not prepared for it. SMQKE shared a report showing Ripple is in late-stage talks for a 2026 IPO. This report is confirmation that Ripple is moving forward after years of delay. His message targeted long-time doubters who believed Ripple would never pursue a public listing. The announcement will shock all the non-believers. I’m ready. https://t.co/pDZCsNXeBP — SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) December 22, 2025 Why This Timing Matters Ripple has avoided an IPO for years. That decision was strategic, as the company focused on regulatory battles, infrastructure growth, and enterprise adoption. Now that those hurdles have eased, the company may be taking another major step. An IPO at this stage suggests confidence in its balance sheet, revenue stability, and long-term XRP-backed business model . Ripple becoming a publicly traded company would subject it to stricter disclosure standards, increasing institutional confidence in its systems . It would also expose Ripple to a much larger pool of capital from these institutions. Now that XRP has regulatory clarity, nothing is holding back the adoption of Ripple’s payment systems. How This Phase Supports XRP Ripple’s business relies on XRP as a liquidity tool within its payment ecosystem. As Ripple expands its enterprise footprint, transaction activity becomes more relevant. Increased adoption of Ripple’s services can translate into higher on-chain usage.

Some institutions still cautiously engage with cryptocurrencies, but the remarkable performance of spot XRP ETFs shows that most institutions are eager to trade with the asset. SMQKE suggested that Ripple has reached a point where public markets make sense. That context matters for long-term holders who focus on fundamentals rather than short-term price movement. 2026 could bring big things for XRP if Ripple decides to go public. Why Non-believers May Be Caught Off Guard Many critics built their view of XRP around uncertainty. Delays fed skepticism, and regulatory pressure reinforced doubt. A confirmed move toward an IPO in 2026 challenges that narrative. Ripple stepping into public markets positions the company as a long-term player within traditional finance. That shift can influence sentiment around XRP over time. SMQKE’s message to holders was simple. If Ripple completes this transition, it could significantly change XRP’s trajectory . Investors who refuse to prepare for this new reality could miss out on life-changing wealth. Disclaimer : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.
