Ripple is the catchall name for the cryptocurrency platform, the transactional protocol for which is actually XRP, in the same fashion as Ethereum is the name for the platform that facilitates trades in Ether. Like other cryptocurrencies, Ripple is built atop the idea of a distributed ledger network which requires various parties to participate in validating transactions, rather than any singular centralized authority. That facilitates transactions all over the world, and transfer fees are far cheaper than the likes of bitcoin. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, XRP transfers are effectively immediate, requiring no typical confirmation time.  Ripple was originally founded by a single company, Ripple Labs, and continues to be backed by it, rather than the larger network of developers that continue bitcoin’s development. It also doesn’t have a fluctuating amount of its currency in existence. Where bitcoin has a continually growing pool with an eventual maximum, and Ethereum theoretically has no limit, Ripple was created with all of its 100 billion XRP tokens right out of the gate. That number is maintained with no mining and most of the tokens are owned and held by Ripple Labs itself — around 60 billion at the latest count.  Even at the recently reduced value of around half a dollar per XRP, that means Ripple Labs is currently sitting on around $20 billion worth of the cryptocurrency (note: Ripple’s price crashed hard recently, and may be worth far less than $60 billion by time you read this). It holds 55 billion XRP in an escrow account, which allows it to sell up to a billion per month if it so chooses in order to fund new projects and acquisitions. Selling such an amount would likely have a drastic effect on the cryptocurrency’s value, and isn’t something Ripple Labs plans to do anytime soon.  In actuality, Ripple Labs is looking to leverage the technology behind XRP to allow for faster banking transactions around the world. While Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are built on the idea of separating financial transactions from the financial organizations of traditional currencies, Ripple is almost the opposite in every sense.  XRP by Ripple price can be found on this page alongside the market capitalization and additional stats.

Hong Kong-headquartered investment management firm Yunqi Capital on Monday announced its opposition to STAAR Surgical Company’s (STAA) proposed sale to Alcon (ALC).Yunqi holds a 5.1% stake in STAAR Surgical Company and has been an investor since 2023. The firm, which claims to be approximately the sixth-largest shareholder of STAAR, <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250922086063/en/Yunqi-Capital-5.1-Holder-and-One-of-STAAR-Surgical-Companys-Largest-Shareholders-Announces-Intention-to-Vote-Against-the-Proposed-Sale-to-Alcon">stated</a> that it opposes the acquisition of STAAR on the terms announced in August.Shares of STAAR traded 1% lower in the pre-market session, while <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ALC">ALC shares</a> traded 1% higher.

We are disappointed that STAAR’s Board of Directors has agreed to sell our company to Alcon Inc. at this inadequate valuation and on the terms of the definitive merger agreement dated August 4, 2025,” it added in a letter to other shareholders.Yunqi said that the Staar’s board failed in its responsibility by not running sufficient market checks or thoroughly soliciting potential interest from a range of alternative buyers and potential strategic partners. Yunqi also stated that it disagrees with the Board’s bleak assessment of the macroeconomic climate in China, which it believes contributed to the company’s decision to accept such a low offer price from Alcon.Earlier this month, Broadwood Partners, L.P., and its affiliates also announced their intention to vote against the proposed acquisition. Broadwood is STAAR’s largest shareholder, owning 27.3% of STAAR’s common shares outstanding.STAAR is a manufacturer of phakic intraocular lenses, a vision correction solution that reduces or eliminates the need for glasses or contact lenses. Alcon <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://investor.alcon.com/news-and-events/press-releases/news-details/2025/Alcon-Agrees-to-Acquire-STAAR-Surgical/default.aspx">said</a> in early August that the companies have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Alcon will purchase all outstanding shares of STAAR common stock for $28 per share in cash. The transaction is expected to close in about six to 12 months and represents a total equity value of approximately $1.5 billion, it added.Meanwhile, STAAR announced the expiration of the 45-day “window shop” period on Monday, stating that the company received no competing acquisition proposal despite Broadwood Partners actively exploring alternative buyers over the past few weeks. CEO Stephen Farrell noted that the expiration of the ‘window shop’ period with no competing acquisition proposal reinforces the Board’s conclusion that the Alcon merger maximizes value for STAAR stockholders.“Collectively, the Board and management team understand the market risks, trends, and opportunities better than Broadwood, and Broadwood’s opposition to the transaction is unfounded,” Farrell said. The company also added that if the proposed merger is not approved, stockholders will be exposed to significant value destruction, and urged shareholders to reject Broadwood’s claims.STAA stock is up 12% this year and down approximately 10% over the past 12 months.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/metsera-stock-surges-pre-market-after-pfizer-confirms-acquisition/chDQNVhR3cy">Metsera Stock Surges 59% Pre-Market After Pfizer Confirms Acquisition – Here Are The Details</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Editor's Note: The story has been updated with STAAR Surgical Company’s statement.
