The plan is still being negotiated and has not been finalized. Plans To Raise $1 Billion Reports have disclosed that the $1 billion target would be raised through a SPAC-style vehicle, with Ripple expected to contribute part of its existing holdings.

Based on reports, XRP’s price fell by about 8% around the time these stories circulated, showing that big corporate moves do not always calm market swings. Holding large sums of XRP raises questions about how purchases would be executed without causing heavy price moves, and how the new treasury would be governed. Regulators and investors will likely watch the governance rules closely, especially since Ripple already controls large amounts of XRP and releases tokens on a monthly schedule from escrow wallets.
