- VivoPower and Lean Ventures launch $300M investment in Ripple Labs.
- Focus is on South Korean institutional investors.

This investment reflects significant interest in Ripple Labs and XRP, potentially impacting South Korea’s dominance in XRP holdings and influencing global market dynamics.
Ripple Labs has attracted a $300M investment from VivoPower International PLC and Lean Ventures, focusing on Korean investors. The joint venture aims to provide Korean investors structured exposure to Ripple Labs equity.
The initiative involves VivoPower guiding the acquisition of Ripple shares, while Lean Ventures manages the investment structure. This strategic move grants investors access to Ripple equity at a discounted rate compared to XRP’s spot price.
The announcement has led to an increase in VivoPower’s share value and strengthened the connection between Korean investors and Ripple Labs. This venture represents a significant pivot towards digital asset investment in South Korea.
With written approval from Ripple Labs, the investment vehicle potentially alters Ripple’s presence in Asia, providing Ripple Labs new opportunities to engage Korean markets, and potentially affect the XRP ecosystem indirectly.
“South Korea is the world’s largest holder of XRP by both value and volume, and this partnership enables Korean investors to access Ripple Labs equity at a discount to the prevailing XRP spot price.” — Adam Traidman, Chairman, VivoPower Advisory Council
The move towards Ripple Labs equity investments could influence regional financial ecosystems, especially among Korean investors seeking crypto-related venture capital opportunities.
This initiative could guide future investments in fintech sectors between Korea and other global markets. Korea’s major holding in XRP could see amplified influence in Asia through this equity route to Ripple Labs.
