Ripple-backed Company’s $100 Million XRP Announcement Causes a Stir

US-listed Webus International Limited has announced that it has signed a senior equity credit line agreement with Ripple Strategy Holdings for up to $100 million. According to the press release, the financing will be used as part of Webus’ strategy to increase its XRP reserves. Webus operates as an AI-powered mobility solutions provider that offers customizable luxury chauffeur services globally. The credit line reflects Webus’ confidence in its XRP-based growth strategy, said CEO Nan Zheng. “This $100 million facility minimizes shareholder dilution by allowing us to raise capital only when we need it, as we aim to accelerate our growth in North America and Asia Pacific,” Zheng said.
