🛑 "That Was a Joke" — Ripple Shuts Down Circle Acquisition Rumors 🛑
⚠️ Speculation was swirling around a possible $5B acquisition of Circle by Ripple, but the company’s top brass isn’t having it.
🚫 Ripple CTO David Schwartz has clarified that his earlier comment was just a joke—taken way out of context.
