Ripple’s $5B Bid for Circle Crashes Like a Memecoin in a Bear Market
Ripple’s $5B Bid for Circle Crashes Like a Memecoin in a Bear Market

Ripple just threw a Hail Mary pass in the stablecoin wars—and got intercepted at the goal line. The blockchain giant’s audacious $5 billion offer for Circle (yes, the USDC folks) got a hard ’no’ faster than a DeFi rug pull.
Why it matters: This would’ve been the crypto M&A deal of the decade. Ripple’s sitting on a $25B war chest from its XRP reserves, while Circle’s been quietly eating into Tether’s market share. Now the stablecoin chessboard gets interesting.
The kicker? Insiders say Circle’s valuation demands made even Sam Bankman-Fried’s trial expenses look reasonable. Guess those Treasury yields are juicier than gambling on another crypto merger.
