Circle In Talks to Sell as Coinbase & Ripple Emerge as Top Buyers
- Circle, the issuer of USDC stablecoin, is in informal talks to sell the company to Coinbase or Ripple as of May 2025.
- This development follows an earlier rejected acquisition offer between $4 billion and $5 billion, which Circle deemed too low amid ongoing IPO preparations.
- Both Coinbase and Ripple have shown strong acquisition interest, with Coinbase highlighting continual merger efforts and Ripple aiming to control stablecoin rails and payment infrastructure.
- Circle filed IPO paperwork in April 2025, seeking at least $5 billion valuation, while reports suggest bids could involve XRP and cash considering Ripple and Coinbase's liquid assets.
- The talks remain fluid with changing conditions weekly, so a deal could reshape the stablecoin market and strengthen the buyer's position in U.S. Crypto payments.
