Ripple提高了將Circle從50億美元收購到令人驚嘆的110億美元的出價

謠言在加密貨幣世界中飛來飛去，他們很難忽略。據說波紋提高了競標圈子

Rumors are swirling in the cryptosphere as they often do, but this one has set tongues really wagging. Apparently, Ripple has upped its bid to acquire Circle, the firm behind the USDC stablecoin, from $5 billion to a staggering $11 billion.

謠言像經常一樣在加密層中旋轉，但這使舌頭確實在搖擺。顯然，Ripple提高了其競標，以收購USDC Stablecoin背後的公司，從50億美元到驚人的110億美元。

Now, to be clear, neither party has confirmed anything yet, but this tidbit has quickly sparked a flurry of questions. Is Ripple making a genius move, or is this a sign of desperation as they're losing ground? And what does this mean for the broader crypto landscape?

現在，可以明確的是，雙方都沒有證實任何事情，但是這個花絮很快引發了一系列問題。波紋是在使天才移動嗎？還是這是他們失去的絕望的跡象？這對更廣泛的加密景觀意味著什麼？

Why Is Ripple Chasing Circle?

為什麼Ripple追逐圈子？

Let's quickly recap: Last month, rumors had fluttered around a $4–$5 billion offer from Ripple to Circle, which was reportedly turned down.

讓我們快速回顧一下：上個月，從Ripple到Circle的50億美元的報價大約有50億美元的謠言，據報導被拒絕。

However, as competition for this acquisition has reportedly become fierce—with Coinbase also said to be pursuing Circle—Ripple may have upped its offer to a massive $11 billion. If true, this could be one of the boldest acquisition attempts we've seen since the fall of FTX.

但是，據報導，隨著這次收購的競爭變得激烈 - 據說正在追求圈子，雷普爾可能已經將其報價提高到了巨額的110億美元。如果是真的，這可能是自FTX倒塌以來我們看到的最大膽的收購嘗試之一。

There are a few reasons why this deal has suddenly become a hot topic. Firstly, there's Circle’s stablecoin, USDC, which boasts a $61 billion market cap—a golden asset in the crypto sphere. Secondly, rumors have it that Trump may be planning a "Crypto Dinner" for the top 220 holders of the TRUMP meme coin, aiming to rally support ahead of the 2028 presidential election.

這筆交易突然成為熱門話題的原因有很多。首先，Circle的Stablecoin USDC擁有610億美元的市值，這是加密貨幣領域的金資產。其次，有傳言說，特朗普可能正在為特朗普模因硬幣的前220名持有人計劃“加密晚宴”，旨在在2028年總統大選之前集結支持。

On another note, rumors emerging from China suggest that the government is planning a crackdown on crypto derivatives trading, aiming to shut down any platform facilitating such activities.

另一方面，來自中國出現的謠言表明，政府正在計劃對加密衍生品交易進行鎮壓，旨在關閉任何促進此類活動的平台。

Finally, U.S. regulations are improving, and rumors have it that Trump is planning to invite the top 220 holders of the TRUMP meme coin for dinner. He hopes to rally support for his potential 2028 presidential bid by engaging with major meme coin traders and aiming to collect campaign contributions.

最後，美國法規正在改善，謠言說，特朗普計劃邀請特朗普模因硬幣的前220名持有人共進晚餐。他希望通過與主要的模因硬幣交易員互動並旨在收集競選捐款來支持他的2028年總統競標。

This move showcases Trump's attempt to connect with the cryptocurrency community and secure financial and political support for his future endeavors.

這一舉動展示了特朗普試圖與加密貨幣社區建立聯繫，並確保其未來努力的財務和政治支持。

Ripple’s Deep Wallet

Ripple的深層錢包

According to a Q1 2025 Markets Report by Ripple, the company holds a huge amount of XRP, about 4.56 billion XRP worth $10.72 billion in its blockchain addresses. It also has 37.13 billion XRP locked in a bulk hardware wallet, valued at a whopping $87.25 billion.

根據Ripple的第一季度2025年市場報告，該公司擁有大量XRP，約45.6億XRP的區塊鏈地址價值107.2億美元。它還有371.3億XRP鎖定在散裝硬件錢包中，價值高達872.5億美元。

With that kind of reserve, Ripple has the financial muscle to make big moves like this. Some experts, like angel investor Paul Barron, believe that Ripple has the upper hand over Coinbase in this race.

有了這樣的儲備，Ripple具有金融肌肉，可以做出這樣的大動作。一些專家，例如天使投資人保羅·巴倫（Paul Barron），認為Ripple在這場比賽中比Coinbase佔上風。

He mentioned that Ripple may be pushing its bid to anywhere between $9 billion and $11 billion, hoping to stay ahead in this heated competition.

他提到，Ripple可能會將其出價推向90億至110億美元之間，希望在這場激烈的比賽中保持領先地位。

What About Coinbase?

那coinbase呢？

But stifling rumors have linked another major player to this saga—Coinbase.

但是，窒息的謠言將另一個主要參與者與這個傳奇故事聯繫起來。

This financial giant reported $8 billion in cash during Q1 2025, showcasing its own deep pockets to enter this bidding war.

這家金融巨頭在2025年第1季度報告了80億美元的現金，展示了自己的深層口袋，以發動這場競標戰。

And since Coinbase is a public company, it can always raise even more money from investors if needed, giving it excellent flexibility in this endeavor.

而且，由於Coinbase是一家上市公司，因此，如果需要，它總是可以從投資者那裡籌集更多資金，從而在這項工作中具有出色的靈活性。

This means that Coinbase could use a mix of cash and stock to try and outbid Ripple, ultimately aiming to secure Circle's acquisition.

這意味著Coinbase可以使用現金和庫存的混合物來試圖超越漣漪，最終旨在確保Circle的收購。

Is Circle Even for Sale?

圓圈甚至是出售嗎？

Now, here’s where things get interesting: Circle hasn't confirmed any interest in selling. In fact, the company has been clear that it's focused on long-term goals, including a planned IPO.

現在，這是有趣的地方：Circle尚未確認對銷售的任何興趣。實際上，該公司很清楚，它的重點是長期目標，包括計劃的IPO。

Plus, the company has support from giants like JPMorgan and Citi, giving it confidence and leverage in any negotiations.

另外，該公司還得到了摩根大通和花旗等巨人的支持，使其在任何談判中充滿信心和槓桿作用。

This isn't the first time rumors of an acquisition have fluttered around Circle. Back in December, rumors had fluttered around a potential $3 billion bid from a unnamed firm to acquire Circle, but both parties quickly shot down these claims.

這並不是第一次收購的謠言繞過圈子。早在12月，謠言就從一家不願透露姓名的公司獲得了30億美元的競標來收購Circle，但雙方迅速拒絕了這些索賠。

However, rumors of a bid from an unnamed firm for a 9-figure equity stake in Circle were swirling at the same time. This tidbit was quickly shot down by a spokesperson for Circle, stating that these rumors were "simply false."

然而，一家不願透露姓名的公司在圈子中競標的謠言同時旋轉。這個花絮很快被圈子發言人擊倒，並說這些謠言“簡直是錯誤的”。

Instead of an outright sale, Circle may be simply entertaining offers to boost its value or gain strategic insight from rivals.

Circle可能只是娛樂性的報價，以提高其價值或從競爭對手獲得戰略見解，而不是直接出售。

This move showcases Trump's attempt to connect with the cryptocurrency community and secure financial and political support for his future endeavors.

這一舉動展示了特朗普試圖與加密貨幣社區建立聯繫，並確保其未來努力的財務和政治支持。
