Ripple Labs (XRP) Makes Power Move: Acquires Stablecoin Platform Rail for $200M
Ripple Labs just dropped a bombshell—and the crypto markets are buzzing. The XRP powerhouse is snapping up stablecoin platform Rail in a $200 million deal that could reshape the payments landscape.
Why it matters: This isn’t just another corporate acquisition. Ripple’s grabbing Rail’s tech stack to turbocharge its cross-border payment dominance—while Wall Street banks still struggle with SWIFT delays.
The cynical take: Because nothing says 'financial revolution' like throwing $200M at the problem. But hey, at least it’s not another NFT monkey.
What’s next? Watch for XRP’s liquidity pools to get a serious upgrade—and legacy finance to start sweating.
