- Ripple’s potential acquisition of Circle could reshape the stablecoin market and significantly boost XRP’s value.
- With ETF approvals pending and RLUSD gaining momentum, XRP is poised for major growth if the deal goes through.
Ripple (XRP) is once again making waves in the crypto world—this time by setting its sights on a potential acquisition of Circle, the powerhouse behind the stablecoin USDC. While the deal has not been officially confirmed, rumors swirling in the market have ignited excitement among investors and analysts alike. If this bold move goes through, it could mark a seismic shift in the stablecoin landscape—and potentially catapult XRP to unprecedented new heights.
Ripple has already proven itself a formidable force. With legal battles largely behind it and global partnerships on the rise, Ripple is strategically positioning XRP for mainstream adoption. One of the company’s most ambitious undertakings is its stablecoin RLUSD, which recently surged 41% in value after a listing on Kraken. This success hints at Ripple’s growing dominance in the stablecoin space—and acquiring Circle could give Ripple the ultimate edge.

What’s at stake here? Circle controls USDC, the second-largest stablecoin by market cap, widely used in institutional finance. Merging Ripple’s blockchain tech with Circle’s stablecoin infrastructure could create a powerhouse capable of rivaling even Tether’s dominance. Such a move would also further legitimize XRP as not just a token, but a key player in real-world finance.
Adding more fuel to the fire, Ripple has 17 XRP-based ETFs currently awaiting SEC approval. If even a fraction of these get greenlit, investor access to XRP would dramatically expand—pushing its price upward in traditional and crypto markets alike.
While nothing is official yet, the implications are massive. Should Ripple successfully acquire Circle, XRP could benefit from both price appreciation and broader adoption, potentially reaching new all-time highs.
