‍VivoPower Plans Indirect XRP Exposure Deal Valued at $900M Nasdaq-listed VivoPower International is arranging to source up to $300 million in Ripple Labs equity for South Korean firm Lean Ventures. This strategic move aims to offer institutional investors indirect exposure to approximately 450 million XRP tokens, currently valued at $900 million. The transaction leverages Ripple's corporate holdings rather than direct cryptocurrency ownership, reflecting a trend in using equity as a proxy for digital asset exposure. The deal, to be managed by VivoPower’s subsidiary Vivo Federation, targets net economic returns of $75 million over three years, primarily through management and performance fees. This initiative follows increased institutional interest in XRP and the XRPL ecosystem, partly due to regulatory clarity following Ripple's legal battles and the potential for spot XRP ETFs. Despite the deal's ambitious scope, VivoPower's stock (VVPR) saw an 11.56% decline on December 17, 2024. Market analysts suggest the success hinges on the availability of private Ripple shares and cryptocurrency market performance. The transaction underscores the growing sophistication of crypto-linked financial products, particularly targeting markets like South Korea with high crypto participation.
