Chris Larsen’s Wealth Soars Past $15 Billion after Ripple’s SEC Settlement and IPO Potential

Ripple’s recent legal victory against the SEC has significantly boosted Chris Larsen, co-founder and chairman of Ripple, pushing his fortune beyond $15 billion. This positive momentum coincides with a record-breaking investment round and the anticipation for a potential IPO in 2026. The company’s growing global presence in the financial sector, driven by partnerships with institutions like Mastercard, WebBank, and Gemini, is fueling Larsen’s wealth. Ripple’s success has been attributed to increased regulatory clarity in the U.S., which has attracted institutional investors and bolstered XRP’s transaction volume, reaching a 32.3% monthly surge.
