🚨 Ripple’s $11B Power Grab? MetaLeX’s Shapiro Warns: “This Would Be Disastrous for Crypto!” 🔥💥
The Stablecoin Wars Just Got Real – and Ripple’s Playing for Keeps.

Another day, another headline shaking the crypto world—
This time, it's Ripple stepping into the spotlight with a multi-billion-dollar move to acquire Circle, the firm behind $USDC
, the second-largest stablecoin in the game.

But hold on... not everyone’s cheering.
Crypto legal heavyweight Gabriel Shapiro (MetaLeX Labs) just dropped a bombshell:

“If Ripple becomes the largest asset issuer across blockchains, it would be disastrous and anti-competitive.”
The warning is loud and clear: This deal could break the stablecoin ecosystem.

Why It’s a Big Deal:

Price Tag: $11 billion – serious money.

Battle of Giants: Ripple vs. Coinbase.

Prize: Total control of USDC and a dominant seat at the crypto table.

If Ripple wins, it wouldn't just acquire Circle...
It could reshape the future of DeFi, CBDCs, and cross-chain liquidity.

Red Flags Everywhere

Shapiro didn’t mince words:

Ripple has a history of targeting rivals (Remember Larsen + Greenpeace vs. Bitcoin mining?)

Regulators like the DoJ and FTC could pounce if this goes through.

He even invoked the Revlon Doctrine — Circle must protect shareholders from potential antitrust fallout.

And let’s not forget: Ripple’s XRP war chest ($40B+) isn’t even fully liquid without court approval.

Ripple’s first bid ($4–5B) was rejected. Now they’re back—with a vengeance.

Rumors suggest they’ll mix XRP + cash to lock this deal down.

But Coinbase, with $8.5B+ in cash, may still strike fast and clean.

And the twist?
Japan’s SBI Holdings, a major XRP whale, might just jump in as a surprise ally.

Ripple’s Power Play or Crypto’s Breaking Point?
Will this be a legendary leap forward...
Or the moment regulators decide to clamp down?
