Ripple XRP $750M Buyback Scheme: Did Holders Benefit?

The Ripple XRP $750M buyback rewarded shareholders at a $50Bn valuation, while XRP dropped 40%, leaving token holders with no cash, shares, or equity claim and leaving many to wonder whether the buyback program has benefited XRP holders.

Its $2.45Bn in 2025 acquisitions and its $2.4Bn RLUSD stablecoin primarily operate in traditional currencies, requiring no reliance on XRP.

Ripple releases up to 1 billion XRP monthly from escrow to generate revenue, expanding supply and requiring outside buyers like spot ETFs to absorb it. This question comes as XRP is trading for $1.54, down a modest -0.2% over the past 24 hours following a +11% weekly surge.

Daily trading volume for September 27 sits at just over $2.6Bn.
