VivoPower’s Discounted XRP Swap Strategy Supercharges Crypto Holdings

VivoPower just executed a masterstroke in crypto accumulation—snapping up XRP at bargain prices through strategic swap maneuvers.

The Discount Playbook

While traditional investors chase overpriced assets, VivoPower bypassed market premiums entirely. Their swap mechanism locked in discounted rates—outsmarting retail traders who typically pay full freight during rallies.

Timing the Turbulence

They deployed capital precisely when XRP faced temporary headwinds. No panic selling here—just cold, calculated accumulation while weak hands folded. Classic institutional move against emotional retail behavior.

Portfolio Rebalancing with Teeth

This isn't passive holding—it's aggressive repositioning. VivoPower's swap strategy effectively reweights their crypto exposure without triggering taxable events or market slippage. Smart money avoids unnecessary friction like the plague.

Because nothing says 'financial innovation' like wealthy institutions getting richer while retail bags hodl through another cycle of promises and delayed deliverables.

Ripple equity deals add to the discount strategy

The company’s XRP pivot was launched in May with a $121 million private placement by His Royal Highness Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki bin Talal Al Saud. Former Ripple board member Adam Traidman also joined as the advisory chairman.

In June, VivoPower partnered with BitGo to provide it as an exclusive custodian and trading partner for XRP acquisitions, as Cryptopolitan reported. Around the same time, the firm announced a $100M yield initiative with Flare, the Ripple Labs-backed blockchain network, signaling an intent to generate returns on treasury reserves.

Further deepening its stake, VivoPower revealed “definitive agreements” in August to purchase $100 million of Ripple Labs equity from existing shareholders, pending final approval. The deal would translate into 211 million XRP, or $0.47 per token worth of ownership, an 86% discount compared to market conditions at the time. These moves point to a systemic attempt to integrate discounted exposure with institutional-grade custody and yield solutions.

Treasury push extends into payments and yield

VivoPower’s XRP strategy is no longer limited to balance sheet management. Its electric vehicle subsidiary, Tembo, will now accept Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoins as payment. The integration of RLUSD promises to eliminate transaction friction and bank charges, while improving enterprise-grade crypto capabilities for VivoPower.

The company also recently announced a $30 million pilot with Doppler Finance, which will see the company deploy XRP into structured yield pools with direct reinvestment of proceeds in reserves. That initiative could grow to $200 million. 

In parallel, VivoPower’s partnership with Flare has grown, deploying $100 million worth of XRP onto the chain to generate yield via decentralized finance applications. These integrations enable the treasury to be a yield-generating platform, instead of merely a passive holding strategy.

XRP’s market activity has also picked up with VivoPower’s announcements. Open interest in XRP derivatives jumped to $8.45 billion in recent weeks from $7.7 billion in August, when liquidations sparked a 30% drop. The rebound is an indicator of increasing speculative activity and renewed trader conviction.

Technical levels indicate that $3.05 could be a significant support level. Analysts believe XRP could break out of the $3.50-$4.00 range if defended. However, a breakdown below $3.05 is in danger of retesting $2.80.
