Growing institutional engagement continued to strengthen XRP’s positioning in structured finance as Vivopower advanced a large-scale digital asset strategy. Vivopower International PLC (Nasdaq: VVPR), a global sustainable energy and digital asset company, announced on Dec. 15 a Ripple-linked transaction focused on sourcing shares that provide structured exposure to XRP.

“Vivopower will originate 450 million underlying XRP tokens worth an estimated $900 million for Lean Ventures through a targeted Ripple Labs share purchase,” the announcement states. Vivopower’s digital asset unit, Vivo Federation, was engaged by Lean Ventures to originate an initial $300 million of Ripple Labs shares under a joint venture partnership designed for South Korean investors. The announcement clarifies:

This translates to approximately 450 million underlying XRP tokens, worth an estimated $900 million at the current XRP spot price.

Vivopower outlined that Vivo Federation will participate through management fees and performance carry tied to the vehicle, targeting a net economic return of approximately $75 million over three years based on the initial assets under management. The structure offers institutional participants indirect XRP-linked economics through equity ownership rather than direct token exposure.

This announcement followed related developments disclosed a few days earlier, when Vivopower revealed on Dec. 12 that it had executed a definitive joint venture agreement with Lean Ventures to acquire and hold Ripple Labs shares. That earlier disclosure detailed that Vivopower had received written approval from Ripple Labs to purchase an initial tranche of preferred shares and entered bilateral negotiations with institutional holders for additional shares valued at up to $300 million.

The joint venture framework was designed to allow Vivopower to gain economic exposure to potential upside in Ripple Labs and underlying XRP without deploying its own balance sheet capital, while Lean Ventures prepared a dedicated investment vehicle to serve qualified South Korean institutional and retail investors. Vivopower noted that South Korea represents a strategic market due to its high concentration of XRP ownership and trading activity, positioning the Ripple-linked structure as part of a broader, phased expansion of its XRPL-based digital asset strategy.
