Chinese firm Webus to raise up to $300 million for XRP treasury

Chinese firm Webus, which specializes in “customizable chauffeur services worldwide,” is planning to raise $300 million for its XRP treasury, according to an SEC filing from June 2.

The “strategic framework” includes Samara Alpha as the company’s “exclusive delegated manager for digital assets, with an authorized mandate cap of up to US$300 million.”

Shares of the Nasdaq-listed company were up 11% in early trading.

Ripple’s native token is the fourth-largest crypto, with a $131.6 billion market cap.

Late last month, Nasdaq-listed ViVo Power also announced an XRP treasury, with a capital raise partly led by Saudi Arabia royal family members.

The fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, XRP, is getting a new treasury firm: Evernorth.

The firm will list on the Nasdaq and expects to raise over $1 billion in gross proceeds from SBI, Ripple Labs, Pantera Capital, Kraken, and GSR, according to a press release. Chris Larsen, cofounder and executive chairman of Ripple, also announced investing 50 million XRP tokens worth $124.5 million. Net proceeds are dedicated for open-market acquisitions of XRP.

The announcement comes during a fragile period for crypto markets, but the latest news has boosted XRP’s price and the asset is back to flat over the last seven days.
