Ripple Labs was co-founded by Chris Larsen and Jed McCaleb, among others. The XRP Ledger was launched in 2012 by David Schwartz, Jed McCaleb, and Arthur Britto, with XRP as its native currency, and 80 billion XRP were gifted to Ripple to develop use cases around the asset. The company itself was incorporated in September 2012. Today, Brad Garlinghouse serves as Chief Executive Officer, Monica Long as President, and Stuart Alderoty as Chief Legal Officer.
Ripple Labs has navigated significant regulatory history. In 2015, FinCEN assessed a $700,000 civil money penalty against Ripple Labs Inc. and XRP II, LLC, with Ripple agreeing to remedial compliance steps. In December 2020, the SEC filed an action alleging Ripple Labs, Chris Larsen, and Brad Garlinghouse raised over $1.3 billion through an unregistered digital asset securities offering involving XRP. A federal judge ordered Ripple to pay a $125 million civil penalty in August 2024, and per Reuters, the SEC formally ended its lawsuit against Ripple in August 2025, with the company paying that $125 million fine to resolve the matter.
Ripple Labs has raised capital across several rounds. A late-2019 Series C brought in $200 million led by Tetragon Financial Group at a $10 billion post-money valuation, and in 2022 Ripple repurchased all of its Series C shares at a $15 billion valuation. In 2025, Ripple raised $500 million in a funding round at a $40 billion valuation. Backers include SBI Holdings, Citadel Securities, Pantera Capital, Galaxy Digital, Brevan Howard, Marshall Wace, Fortress Investment Group, and Route 66 Ventures.
