title: Stablecoin issuer Circle rejects speculation about a potential acquisition

Stablecoin issuer Circle has shot down rumors of a potential acquisition, denying reports that it has held informal talks with Coinbase or Ripple regarding a sale.

According to a paid report published by Fortune, Circle is said to have engaged in early-stage discussions with both firms at a valuation of $5 billion or more.

However, Circle has now firmly rejected this speculation.

“Circle is not for sale. Our long-term goals have not changed,” the company stated.

The company’s primary focus remains on going public. Circle formally filed for an initial public offering (IPO) in April, reigniting plans that had previously been delayed since late 2022.

While no listing date has yet been confirmed, reports in early April indicated that Circle had secured agreements with investment banks to move the IPO process forward.

Part of the speculation concerning an acquisition arose from earlier reports that Ripple had made a multi-billion-dollar offer to acquire Circle—estimated between $4 billion and $5 billion—which the company declined, deeming it too low. Despite the rejection, Ripple is still evaluating whether to return with a revised proposal.

Meanwhile, the crypto sector has seen a surge in major acquisitions amid a more favorable regulatory backdrop under the current U.S. administration.

Ripple recently made headlines with its $1.25 billion purchase of prime brokerage firm Hidden Road, while Coinbase announced plans to acquire Dubai-based crypto derivatives platform Deribit for $2.9 billion—moves that signal intensifying competition in the digital finance space.

Circle, however, appears to be staying the course, focusing on its independent strategy and IPO ambitions despite industry consolidation.
