NASDAQ, one of the largest stock exchanges in the United States in terms of trading volumes, recently congratulated Ripple, the blockchain payments company, on its acquisition of Metaco, a Swiss-based crypto custody platform.
On May 28th, Metaco shared a tweet in which NASDAQ expressed its appreciation for Ripple’s achievement. However, cryptocurrency enthusiasts have interpreted this public acknowledgement from the brokerage as more than just congratulations, speculating about potential implications for Ripple’s future. Rumors of an upcoming Initial Public Offering (IPO) and listing have been fueled by NASDAQ’s message.
In the acquisition that took place on May 17th, Ripple, headquartered in San Francisco, acquired Metaco for $250 million. Metaco is known for its expertise in asset custody, trading, and decentralized finance (DeFi).
This purchase has sparked discussions about Ripple’s broader ambitions, including its expansion into the European market and potential forays into the world of decentralized finance (DeFi).
NASDAQ’s congratulations have added an additional layer of curiosity to Ripple’s future trajectory, leaving observers intrigued about the direction the company may take.
