SHOCKING! Ripple Offers to Acquire Circle & USDC Worth $5 Billion — But Was Flatly Rejected?!
A major crypto war nearly erupted! Ripple, the company behind XRP, is reported to have tried to acquire Circle—issuer of the giant stablecoin USDC—valued at a staggering $5 billion (around IDR 80 trillion). But... the offer was REJECTED!
Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, is said to be very interested in strengthening Ripple's dominance in the stablecoin sector. USDC itself is a strong competitor to Tether (USDT), with billions of dollars circulating in the crypto market.
However, according to leaked reports in the industry, Circle chose to remain independent and rejected the acquisition offer from Ripple. Speculation has arisen:
Is Circle afraid of losing control over USDC?
Or are they actually preparing for a massive IPO and don’t want to be ‘captured’ now?
Why is this important?
If this acquisition were to happen, Ripple could instantly become a major player in the stablecoin sector and shake up USDT's dominance. This move could also strengthen XRP's position amid tightening global regulations.
Crypto Twitter & the community are buzzing:
“Ripple + USDC? That would be wild!”
“$5B rejected? Circle must have big plans.”
