@jakeclaverqfop: Here's how I'd handicap Ripple's future, three scenarios. A BlackRock acquisition is the most likely, call it roughly 50%, given the strategic fit and the existing relationship. A direct public listing is around 25%, and staying private indefinitely is the other 25%. BlackRock is big enough and aligned enough that an acquisition makes sense, and if it happened, Ripple would probably run as a separate subsidiary under its own brand. Ripple shares already trade through some brokers at six-figure minimums.
