Ripple提高了将Circle从50亿美元收购到令人惊叹的110亿美元的出价

谣言在加密货币世界中飞来飞去，他们很难忽略。据说波纹提高了竞标圈子

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.

谣言像经常一样在加密层中旋转，但这使舌头确实在摇摆。显然，Ripple提高了其竞标，以收购USDC Stablecoin背后的公司，从50亿美元到惊人的110亿美元。

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?

现在，可以明确的是，双方都没有证实任何事情，但是这个花絮很快引发了一系列问题。波纹是在使天才移动吗？还是这是他们失去的绝望的迹象？这对更广泛的加密景观意味着什么？

Why Is Ripple Chasing Circle?

为什么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.

让我们快速回顾一下：上个月，从Ripple到Circle的50亿美元的报价大约有50亿美元的谣言，据报道被拒绝。

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，据报道，随着这次收购的竞争变得激烈 - 据说正在追求圈子，雷普尔可能已经将其报价提高到了巨额的110亿美元。如果是真的，这可能是自FTX倒塌以来我们看到的最大胆的收购尝试之一。

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.

这笔交易突然成为热门话题的原因有很多。首先，Circle的Stablecoin USDC拥有610亿美元的市值，这是加密货币领域的金资产。其次，有传言说，特朗普可能正在为特朗普模因硬币的前220名持有人计划“加密晚宴”，旨在在2028年总统大选之前集结支持。

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，来自中国出现的谣言表明，政府正在计划对加密衍生品交易进行镇压，旨在关闭任何促进此类活动的平台。

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.

最后，美国法规正在改善，谣言说，特朗普计划邀请特朗普模因硬币的前220名持有人共进晚餐。他希望通过与主要的模因硬币交易员互动并旨在收集竞选捐款来支持他的2028年总统竞标。

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

这一举动展示了特朗普试图与加密货币社区建立联系，并确保其未来努力的财务和政治支持。

Ripple’s Deep Wallet

Ripple的深层钱包

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.

根据Ripple的第一季度2025年市场报告，该公司拥有大量XRP，约45.6亿XRP的区块链地址价值107.2亿美元。它还有371.3亿XRP锁定在散装硬件钱包中，价值高达872.5亿美元。

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.

有了这样的储备，Ripple具有金融肌肉，可以做出这样的大动作。一些专家，例如天使投资人保罗·巴伦（Paul Barron），认为Ripple在这场比赛中比Coinbase占上风。

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可能会将其出价推向90亿至110亿美元之间，希望在这场激烈的比赛中保持领先地位。

What About Coinbase?

那coinbase呢？

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

但是，窒息的谣言将另一个主要参与者与这个传奇故事联系起来。

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

这家金融巨头在2025年第1季度报告了80亿美元的现金，展示了自己的深层口袋，以发动这场竞标战。

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，由于Coinbase是一家上市公司，因此，如果需要，它总是可以从投资者那里筹集更多资金，从而在这项工作中具有出色的灵活性。

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

这意味着Coinbase可以使用现金和库存的混合物来试图超越涟漪，最终旨在确保Circle的收购。

Is Circle Even for Sale?

圆圈甚至是出售吗？

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.

现在，这是有趣的地方：Circle尚未确认对销售的任何兴趣。实际上，该公司很清楚，它的重点是长期目标，包括计划的IPO。

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

另外，该公司还得到了摩根大通和花旗等巨人的支持，使其在任何谈判中充满信心和杠杆作用。

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.

这并不是第一次收购的谣言绕过圈子。早在12月，谣言就从一家不愿透露姓名的公司获得了30亿美元的竞标来收购Circle，但双方迅速拒绝了这些索赔。

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，一家不愿透露姓名的公司在圈子中竞标的谣言同时旋转。这个花絮很快被圈子发言人击倒，并说这些谣言“简直是错误的”。

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

Circle可能只是娱乐性的报价，以提高其价值或从竞争对手获得战略见解，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.

这一举动展示了特朗普试图与加密货币社区建立联系，并确保其未来努力的财务和政治支持。
