Ripple is reportedly eyeing a takeover of Circle — the force behind USDC — and legal experts are sounding the alarm. If the issuer of XRP succeeds, it would become the largest asset issuer on every major blockchain, sending shockwaves across the crypto world.
MetaLeX Labs founder Gabriel Shapiro warns:
“This isn’t just a merger — it’s a potential crypto apocalypse.”
Why? Such a move could centralize power like never before, crushing competition and innovation in its path. Regulators like the DoJ and FTC are likely watching closely, with antitrust sirens blaring.
Ripple’s history of aggressive influence — including its anti-Bitcoin mining campaign — only adds fuel to the fire.

Ripple’s rejected $5B offer was just the beginning. With deep XRP reserves, they’re not backing down.
If Ripple wins, the stablecoin landscape may never be the same.
Revolution — or ruin?
