Ripple Pre-IPO Shares Now Available for US Customers

Linqto reopens Ripple pre-IPO stock investment opportunity, allowing XRP proponents and the broader crypto community to invest in the company before it goes public.

The crypto community, alongside XRP enthusiasts, now has another opportunity to acquire Ripple’s stock ahead of the payment company’s forthcoming initial public offering (IPO).

Recall that two days ago, a high-ranking executive at the pre-IPO investment platform, Linqto, hinted that the company was contemplating allowing prospective investors to purchase Ripple equity shares once again following the initial round of sales reaching capacity.

In a recent statement, Linqto disclosed that acquiring Ripple’s pre-IPO shares has become open to the crypto community. The statement read:

“Ripple shares are now available on Linqto! We remain committed to democratizing access to private market investments to all investors.”

In September, Linqto introduced an opportunity for the investing crypto community who are not accredited investors to participate in Ripple shares. The initiative led to a rapid sell-out of the shares. Significantly, this new announcement from Linqto comes amid the unyielding enthusiasm for investing in Ripple stocks. 

Buying Ripple Pre-IPO Shares

Buying Ripple’s shares via the Linqto platform requires some steps. It includes creating an account and verifying the account with a government-issued identification. After the sign-up, the investment page becomes live.

Like in the previous month, interested investors must allocate a minimum of $2,500 to acquire Ripple’s pre-IPO shares. According to the investment page, the stock sells at $60.08 per share. This figure is a 71.4% increase from the $35 value observed on June 1.

Meanwhile, the page shows Linqto offers a discount for those committing at least $10,000. Specifically, investors allocating more significant sums to Ripple equity would buy it at $57.21 per share.

Notably, two funding methods are available for a Linqto account, with the most efficient one being debit card funding through the Uphold exchange, as The Crypto Basic previously outlined. 

The alternative method entails a bank transfer, which could take up to three working days to reflect in the account.

Who Can Buy Ripple’s Pre-IPO Shares?

In the tweet announcing this current offer, some persons sought clarification if the investment opportunity was for only US-based investors. However, Linqto has not specifically responded to such inquiries at the time of reporting.

Meanwhile, Linqto’s terms and conditions suggest that people outside the US seeking the investment opportunity are to carry out their legal research to ensure it is compliant with their jurisdiction.

Linqto asserts that they are unable to confirm the accessibility of the investment opportunity in any jurisdiction other than the United States.

Consequently, it is the responsibility of the investor to ascertain the legality of Linqto’s investment opportunity in their respective jurisdiction.

While they do not explicitly limit the opportunity to U.S. residents, they also refrain from declaring it open to any other jurisdiction. This cautious stance is taken to mitigate potential legal complexities.

The company’s terms and conditions read in part:

“If you choose to access this Application from other locations, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. You may not use or export the Materials in violation of U.S. laws and regulations.”
