ChainCatcher reports that sources familiar with the matter say blockchain payments company Ripple has launched a share repurchase program worth up to $750 million, valuing the company at approximately $50 billion.

The repurchase will be conducted through a tender offer, allowing investors and company employees to sell their shares back to the company. The program is expected to run until April. This repurchase plan comes shortly after Ripple’s attempt last year to buy back $1 billion worth of shares at a $40 billion valuation. At that time, participation was limited due to some private shareholders’ reluctance to sell their shares.

Ripple’s most recent funding round was in November last year, when the company completed a $500 million strategic investment, also valuing the company at $40 billion. The round was led by Fortress Investment Group and funds related to Citadel Securities, with participation from market sources and other institutions. Ripple President Monica Long stated earlier this year that the company currently has no plans for an IPO and emphasized that Ripple’s financial position is solid, favoring continued expansion through acquisitions and product development.
