Ripple Tried Buying Rival Circle for $5 Billion—Guess How That Went Down?

BBG News

Oh, you’re gonna love this one. Ripple, you know, the “too cool for school” blockchain guys from San Francisco? They waltzed over to Circle with an offer—how big? Four to five billion bucks! That’s right, billion, with a B. 🤑

But Circle, these geniuses—they look at the offer, say, “Nah, we’re good. That’s like offering a New York steak for a bologna sandwich.” Apparently, they think they’re worth way more (of course they do, who doesn’t?).

By the way, while all this is going on, Circle’s trying to get cozy with Wall Street for an IPO. “Hey, we’re public material!” Sure, join the club, Circle. Who isn’t filing for an IPO these days?

Get this—Ripple’s president, Monica Long, just said they’re *not* interested in going public. Why? Because they’re too busy buying up anyone and anything with a .com address and a pulse. Literally just bought Hidden Road for $1.25 billion. That’s one pricey impulse buy. Like, what’s next, buying the Brooklyn Bridge? 😂

Honestly, it’s like an arms race, but with bigger egos and more buzzwords. I can’t wait to see who tries to buy whom next. Maybe Ripple will offer to buy Bitcoin? Don’t laugh, it could happen!
