TL;DR In a recent video on YouTube, Cardano’s founder claimed that such an acquisition would make the crypto space “better.“ Hoskinson also argued that the Coinbase-a16z-Circle “mafia“ has built a self-serving ecosystem. “And if you are outside of it, you get completely blacklisted, and it’s hard to get listed, it’s hard to get liquidity, and it’s hard to get a stablecoin,“ he added. The American thinks a potential deal between Ripple and Circle would break apart that “monopoly“ and create more diversity. Hoskinson believes the company behind the XRP token would serve as a better custodian. The American business magazine Fortune was among the first to report that Ripple and Coinbase are competing to acquire Circle (the entity issuing the popular stablecoin USDC). According to the coverage, each firm is willing to commit billions of dollars to the deal. Angel investor Paul Barron recently suggested that sources indicate Ripple may have the edge in the potential $9 billion+ settlement. The battle for the stablecoin issuer remained a hot topic over the weekend, with some X users claiming that Ripple submitted an $11 billion bid. Others assumed that the company would make an offer that couldn’t be rejected today (May 26). However, numerous industry participants dismissed this theory, reminding that Monday is a public holiday in the United States, meaning a deal is unlikely to be announced in the following hours. It is important to note that several weeks ago, reports hinted that Ripple made an offer of roughly $4-$5 million to purchase Circle, which the latter supposedly turned down for being too low. Subsequent rumors circulated that the amount was later raised to $20 billion, although this remained unconfirmed. Hoskinson also said the Cardano team reached out to their colleagues from Ripple regarding the integration of the stablecoin RLUSD. “We would like to find a path to get RLUSD on Cardano… We would do the integration for free because we like the XRP community, but it’s still an ongoing conversation,“ the American said. The idea of a potential collaboration between Cardano and Ripple has been circulating for quite some time. Towards the end of 2024, the bosses of the two entities, Brad Garlinghouse and Charles Hoskinson, exchanged kind words. Shortly after, the latter hinted that Cardano might integrate Ripple’s stablecoin into its ecosystem. “We’ve already had a call with the RLUSD people. We are actively talking,“ he stated at the time. In April, Ripple shared a video on X focused on the future of tokenization. Interestingly, it opened with a brief glimpse of Cardano’s logo, fueling further speculation that a partnership might be on the horizon. However, nothing has been officially confirmed.
