Look at what's happening: Ripple, owner of XRP, is keeping an eye on Circle, the giant behind USDC. The idea? To create a unified ecosystem for stablecoin governance. And it's not just talk: Ripple has already taken the first step with RLUSD. Now, imagine if they swallow Circle? They would have two of the main stablecoins in the market under the same roof. Less confusion, more power. And XRP? It would become the glue that connects everything.
Let's connect the dots:
- Circle has what Ripple desires most: partnerships with banks and regulatory trust that no one surpasses. If Ripple inherits this, XRP would gain a legitimacy that could make Wall Street turn around and take notice.
- Double liquidity: USDC already moves from DeFi to global payments. Integrating this into RippleNet means speed in transactions, low costs, and XRP becoming essential for any value movement.
But hold on, things aren't easy. Ripple has already offered a hefty sum (US$ 4 to 5 billion!), and Circle refused. And now? The next step is murky, but the intention is clear: Ripple wants to dominate the liquidity of stablecoins. And this changes everything for XRP.
Notice the pattern:
1. Ripple bought a brokerage (Metaco).
2. Now targeting Circle.
It's not a shot in the dark. It's pure consolidation, with XRP as the engine.
And what if it works out?
XRP ceases to be just a "bridge" between currencies. It becomes global infrastructure: cross-border, multi-asset, integrated into entire sectors. The demand for XRP skyrockets – and forever.
And what if it doesn't work out?
Circle is betting on an IPO, but Ripple won't rest. Even without a deal, they have already shown their cards: XRP remains at the center of the plan. The vision is clear: dominate payments, control stablecoins, and make XRP the standard bridge of the system.
This is not just a business. It's a project to rebuild an entire financial layer, with XRP as the cornerstone. The strategy is bold, but if it works, XRP will not just be another token in the market.
He will be the market.
(Yes, I seem hypocritical with posts and investment in XRP being an enthusiast of the decentralized crypto market, but understand, I am a Trader and XRP is a very attractive asset.)
