<p>For context, Saudi Aramco, the biggest IPO ever, raised $25.6 billion. Alibaba followed with an impressive $21.7 billion, along with SoftBank Corp at $21.3 billion, Visa at $17.86 billion, and Facebook at $16.45 billion.</p> 
<p>Rector points out how Ripple is different from other companies, mainly because it uses digital assets. While companies like Saudi Aramco focus on energy, Ripple stands out because of its significant XRP holdings, making it special in the market.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ripple-s-current-xrp-holdings">Ripple’s Current XRP Holdings</h2> 
<p>As per the <a href="https://data.ripple.com/v2/network/xrp_distribution?limit=10000000">most recent data</a> accessible through Ripple API, the company’s circulating XRP tokens stand at 45.404 billion out of a total supply of 100 billion XRP tokens.</p> 
<p>Initially, Ripple Labs held 55 billion XRP tokens, and the company had the option to lock 800 million in an escrow wallet each month. Given the current market value of XRP, <a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/xrp/">surpassing $0.528</a>, this substantial quantity of XRP translates into a staggering monetary value, exceeding $23 billion.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-wall-street-analyst-s-perspective">Wall Street Analyst’s Perspective</h2> 
<p>Adding to the speculation, Wall Street analyst Linda Jones projected that if XRP reclaims its all-time high of $3.84, Ripple’s XRP portfolio could exceed $150 billion. </p>

<p>Jones suggests that if the stock were valued at around three times that escrow, approximately $350 billion, it could lead to a half-a-trillion-dollar IPO valuation for Ripple.</p> 
<p>It’s important to note that Ripple has temporarily halted its IPO plans due to existing regulatory challenges in the cryptocurrency space.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>These speculations highlight Ripple’s unique market position, with its IPO potential closely tied to the valuation of its substantial XRP holdings.</p>
