Although Ripple does not share complete yearly financials, the research firm CB Insights has estimated its 2024 revenue at approximately $1.3 billion.

While Long did not confirm this figure, she noted that the company has grown its customer base, especially after the launch of its USD stablecoin and with clearer rules for digital assets in various countries.
