Crypto analyst and commentator Del Crxpto has shared new claims on X (formerly Twitter) that Ripple may be structuring a potential acquisition deal with Circle using a dual-payment format consisting of cash and XRP. In the post, Del Crxpto references what he describes as circulating rumors and mentions of related media reports, which allegedly outline that Ripple has made a multi-billion-dollar offer to acquire Circle . According to the tweet, a portion of the deal would be paid in cash, while the rest will be settled in XRP. Rumor Alert: $XRP Rumors swirling thru the cryptosphere in addition to media articles reporting that the multi-bullion dollar offer made by @Ripple for the acquisition of @circle details that a portion of the transaction will be conducted in cash… And The Rest In… — Del Crxpto (@DelCrxpto) May 21, 2025 The suggestion that XRP could be used directly as a currency in the structuring of a large-scale acquisition deal has drawn attention from market observers. The potential use of XRP in a transaction of this magnitude would signify a notable moment in the asset’s utility beyond cross-border payments and liquidity provisioning. The tweet does not cite a specific source or link to any formal publication or document. As of the time of writing, neither Ripple nor Circle has released a public statement confirming or denying any such acquisition plans or the transaction terms. Speculation on Strategic Impact While the details remain unverified, the implications of such a structure are being discussed in the community. One community member, LP, responded to the post by commenting on what the rumored transaction could mean in a regulatory and competitive context.

So I applaud the news for both Circle and Ripple. If this is in fact real, Ripple will have the stablecoin market cornered. It’s then just a matter of your will to hold because the huge rise in XRP will be inevitable.” The comment suggests that Circle may prefer an acquisition to navigating regulatory uncertainty, particularly surrounding potential securities classification. LP also highlighted the strategic positioning Ripple could gain within the stablecoin sector if such a deal were to proceed under the reported terms. Ripple entered the stablecoin market through RLUSD, its U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin, launched earlier in 2025. The rumored acquisition of USDC issuer Circle could considerably expand Ripple’s influence in the space. However, with no confirmation from either company involved, the status and validity of these claims remain unclear.
