CoinRoutes general manager Dave Weisberger has exploded a new series of anxiety on the XRP market on Monday when he asked for the Podcast of Scott Melker, if Ripple Labs could finance a takeover of Circle “for 10 to 20 billion dollars” without unloading about $ 10 billion in XRP. “Who will buy the value of $ 10 billion in XRP they need to sell their treasure?” Weisberger saidwarning that an increase in the sudden offer could overwhelm the order books and “hammer the price”.
Is an XRP sale imaginable?
In a few hours, the pro-XRP lawyer, Fred Rispoli Mike McGloneThe reputation of the downward hyperbola. “Depending on what I am offered for my Ripple actions on the secondary market, I don’t think Ripple should even sell an XRP to buy Circle.” Rispoli has agreed that Ripple cannot collect $ 10 billion in pure cash, but insisted that the company could “easily allow itself the acquisition of a mixture of money and debt” and a heaviness in equity.

When Weisberger replied that Circle’s board would likely require hard dollars unless it accepts ripples or XRP actions “without haircuts”, Rispoli has dug. “No means of obtaining $ 10 billion in cash-and $ 10 billion is too high anyway,” he wrote, citing his private research assessments in late 2024 which placed Ripple at $ 15 billion excluding its ~ 36 billion XRP private research values. If Circle’s price had fallen to $ 7 to 9 billion, he said, Ripple could close with “1 to 3 billion dollars in cash, a heavy scholarship and a debt”, in particular with “all this GCC money that slips into the cryptographic world at the moment”. Rispoli conceded that it would be “a range” but “doable without selling XRP significantly”.
Weisberger has recognized mathematics – “it is a reasonable analysis,” he wrote – it is informed that any price at the upper end of the Rispoli range “could be short -term pain for us XRP holders”.
The repurchase of tenders of Ripple in January 2024, estimated the company at $ 11.3 billion, disclosing more than a billion dollars in cash and around 25 billion dollars in digital active ingredients – mainly XRP – on its books. The company still controls around 52 billion XRP (around 40% of the offer), although 36 billion rest in timed sequests, which limits immediate access. At the price of the counter of $ 2.20 today, the spending portion is worth a little less than $ 35 billion, but the movement even a fraction would quickly collide with a thin place – a Weisberger point hammered at home.

This acquisition suggests that the company prefers hybrid structures, strengthening the allegation of rispoli according to which the XRP treasure does not need to flood the market.
Is the circle even for sale?
The debate can be academic. Circle, USDC issuer, said it repeatedly “not to sell” by walking towards a list of New York scholarships which now targets an assessment of $ 7.2 billion. The rumor approach of Ripple earlier this spring would have exceeded $ 5 billion, well below the case of Weisberger’s stress and in the “feasible” group of Rispoli, but Circle rejected the talks and updated its S-1 two weeks later, enlarging the float rather than looking for a buyer.
Strategically, Ripple already uses its own dollar-token RlusdLaunched in January and positioned by President Monica Long as “complementary to XRP, not a competitor”. The absorption of the transmitter of the USDC would instantly turn to the size of the attachment.
Even under the optimistic structure of Rispoli, Ripple could still need to liquidate several hundred million XRP dollars for the working capital and the fence costs. To current volumes, the unloading of only 500 million XRP (≈ 1.1 billion dollars) would be equivalent to half a world of global turnover – enough to distort the price, unless executed in private blocks.
At the time of the press, XRP exchanged $ 2.19.
