Ripple現在正在與Coinbase競爭以獲取圓圈

根據《財富》星期五的報告，Ripple現在正在與Coinbase競爭購買金融科技公司Circle。

Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) is now competing with Ripple (CRYPTO: XRP) for the acquisition of fintech company Circle, reports Fortune on Friday, citing several private equity and banking executives.

Coinbase（NASDAQ：COIN）現在正在與Ripple（Crypto：XRP）競爭購買金融科技公司Circle的收購，並以幾位私募股權和銀行管理人員為首。

It was reported last month by Bloomberg that Circle had turned down an offer from Ripple to be acquired for up to $5 billion, as the sum was said to be too small. Some social media accounts started rumors that Ripple might increase its bid to $20 billion.

據報導，彭博社上個月據報導，Circle拒絕了Ripple的報價，最高可達50億美元，因為據說這筆款項太小了。一些社交媒體帳戶開始謠言說Ripple可能會將其出價增加到200億美元。

One source told Fortune that Circle would prefer to be acquired by Coinbase. The two companies already have a close working relationship. In 2018, Circle and Coinbase teamed up to launch the highly successful USD Coin (USDC) stablecoin through the Center Consortium, which they formed together.

一位消息人士告訴《財富》，圈子希望被Coinbase收購。兩家公司已經有著密切的工作關係。 2018年，Circle和Coinbase聯手通過中心財團推出了非常成功的USD Coin（USDC）Stablecoin。

Fortune claims that Circle would be open to being acquired by Coinbase. However, as of now, the company is still planning to pursue its own initial public offering (IPO) plans, which were disclosed earlier this year.

《財富》聲稱，圈子將開放，可以被Coinbase收購。但是，截至目前，該公司仍計劃遵循自己的首次公開募股（IPO）計劃，該計劃已於今年早些時候披露。

Ripple is also in a strong financial position to acquire Circle due to its vast holdings of XRP (CRYPTO: XRP), which are valued at over $90 billion at current prices. As reported by U.Today, Bitwise President Teddy Fusaro recently stated that Ripple could purchase a significant number of companies with its existing XRP funds.

由於XRP的龐大持有（加密：XRP），Ripple也處於獲得圓圈的強大財務狀況，該公司的價值超過900億美元。正如U.Today報導的那樣，Bitwise總裁Teddy Fusaro最近表示，Ripple可以以現有的XRP資金購買大量公司。

Both Ripple and Coinbase have been actively involved in making acquisitions. Recently, Ripple closed a $1.25 billion deal to buy prime brokerage Hidden Road, while Coinbase is poised to finalize the largest M&A transaction in crypto history with the pending acquisition of Deribit for a price tag of nearly $3 billion.

Ripple和Coinbase都積極參與收購。最近，Ripple結束了一項12.5億美元的交易，以購買Prime Brokerage Hidden Road，而Coinbase有望在加密貨幣歷史上完成最大的併購交易，並以近30億美元的價格收購Deribit。
