A recent post from XRP community member Skipper has circulated claims that Ripple may be preparing for a large-scale initiative to acquire XRP directly from the open market. According to the post, the effort would involve a potential $1 billion buyback and the establishment of a dedicated digital asset treasury entity. This proposed entity would reportedly be responsible for purchasing XRP on the open market and coordinating with banking partners in ways that could influence supply conditions.

Skipper’s post referenced a video summarizing the alleged plan. The video asserts that Ripple is preparing to repurchase $1 billion worth of XRP and create a treasury-focused structure intended to accumulate and manage the asset. It also suggests that the organization would work with institutional partners and contribute to reducing circulating supply. The approach is described as aiming to enhance price stability, tighten market liquidity, and potentially create a supply squeeze. The video further emphasizes that any purchases would be conducted directly on exchanges rather than through existing escrow mechanisms.

According to an article published by Times Tabloid on October 17, Ripple has been associated with efforts to raise at least $1 billion to establish a digital asset treasury specifically focused on accumulating XRP. Citing Bloomberg as the source, the report described plans involving a special-purpose acquisition company to facilitate market purchases. Although Ripple already holds a substantial amount of XRP in escrow, pursuing an independent treasury vehicle has been interpreted by some analysts as a sign of confidence in XRP’s long-term strategic role within the company.

The initiative, as described, would allow the treasury structure to operate separately from Ripple’s existing token reserves. This would mark a shift toward institutionalized acquisition rather than relying solely on programmed escrow releases. Market observers who track XRP supply dynamics view this concept as notable, given its potential implications for token distribution, liquidity, and perceptions of Ripple’s commitment to the asset
