A new job posting from Ripple Labs suggests what XRP investors and speculators have long awaited is almost here.

According to the recent career posting, Ripple Labs is seeking a Shareholder communications Senior Manager. Many in the crypto community point out that the company would need such a hire to launch an IPO.

An IPO is an initial public offering, where blocks of shares are offered to qualified investors before the official launch of the stock on the public stock market.

Investors, speculators, and crypto enthusiasts have anticipated this move for a long time, and following Ripple’s historic victory over the Securities and Exchange Commission, this was widely seen as the next target for the company.

The only thing that remains to be seen is the timeline for Ripple’s long-touted path of becoming a publicly traded company. Here’s what we currently know:

Coin Telegraph had more on the story:

The job description emphasizes the candidate’s need to create strategic plans specifically suited for situations like “M&A [mergers and acquisitions], investments, liquidity events, and other high-impact moments.“

The role includes creating investor-focused materials like “presentations, fact sheets, case studies, and analyses“ to inform and educate potential investors about the company’s prospects and performance.

The Bearable Bull writes: “XRP Feels Close To Erupting & The Stage Is Being Set. World War Is Likely & Larry Fink Tells US That War Times Are Bullish For Crypto. Ripple IPO Feels Close. XRP & Roblox Is MASSIVE. Things Feel So BULLISH For XRP. Something Will Give Soon.”
