RIPPLE ACQUIRING CIRCLE RUMORS ( STABLECOIN POWERPLAY)

Añadido: 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]There are rumors saying Ripple is acquiring Circle. Crypto feels unstable again because we have billions leaving the market. And meanwhile, all this is happening, we have Ethereum flashing mixed signals as well. And then they are saying that AI may become critical for crypto security. Let's dive in.

[00:00:23]All right. So, diving right into it.

[00:00:24]Starting with the rumor mill that was all day yesterday, Ripple rumor to acquire Circle USDC issuer, right? So, big news. And with this acquisition rumor, uh it's saying that the issuer of the $61 billion stablecoin USDC has garnered significant attention. And if confirmed, it would rank one of the most consequential deals in the history of digital assets.

[00:00:53]That is not far-fetched, right? If Ripple made that play, and if you guys don't know the history about it, and really what's happened up until this point, Ripple made an offer to acquire USDC Circle for about $5 billion.

[00:01:09]Circle came back and said, "It's too too cheap. Not enough."

[00:01:15]Which later on came out when they went public to have a valuation of over 10 billion, right? So, that's kind of the history and and and the the backstory behind it.

[00:01:27]Now, from wherever this acquisition rumor happened, I guess there were little bits and pieces. Like people say, "Oh, today's going to be a great day. Watch out for this day." And and kind of reading between the lines with with uh the Ripple Foundation as well. And everyone was kind of trying to paint that picture of this happening. So, we'll see, guys.

[00:01:48]Uh I wouldn't leave it off the table.

[00:01:50]Uh but right now, nothing's been confirmed. Um but this that would be big for you guys that are holding XRP.

[00:01:59]That'll be big for you guys that are invested in uh you know, Ripple uh private equity or however, right? It'll be big. Anyone affiliated with Ripple or XRP, that would be some big news. We'll keep you posted if that gets >> [music] >> confirmed. But as of right now, past 24 hours has not been confirmed, all rumor.

[00:02:18]Next up, crypto funds bleed 1.47 billion as risk-off sentiment deepens. Why is risk-off sentiment deepening?

[00:02:26]Cuz we see here, we go to CoinMarketCap, we see we're back in fear.

[00:02:31]Right? That's exactly what's happening, happens every time. Now, when that happens, we see these outflows. Right?

[00:02:40]We see institutional investors pulling capital from crypto products, right? We saw, I think last week, the uh I think Goldman Sachs pulled out of XRP ETFs, right? Made a big pivot, right? And we're seeing Bitcoin, Ethereum seeing the largest withdrawals ever. And this is all verified on uh Coin >> [music] >> CoinShares data.

[00:03:02]And it showed Bitcoin products alone losing nearly $1 billion during recent outflow waves. And this matters because ETF and ETP flows have become major market drivers. So, when institutional flows weaken, we're seeing momentum weaken.

[00:03:21]Right? And not only is it's just weakening, it's weakening fast. Okay?

[00:03:25]So, this this isn't a panic from retail.

[00:03:28]All right? And everyone And most people are are going to think that. Most people are going to see this and be like, "Oh, see, they're getting out. This is it."

[00:03:35]It's not what happened.

[00:03:37]All right? It's cautious positioning from large capital. They're not They're not used to holding swings, right? Just remember this. Remember the time >> [music] >> we're in. Just remember the time we're in.

[00:03:49]Institutions are not used to investing crypto. They are probably newer than you. Okay? Like the those of you that have been with us a while, they've come to the market right after you.

[00:04:03]And so, don't I I wouldn't worry about that, right? There it's coming, right?

[00:04:08]Everyone knows crypto's coming, crypto's here.

[00:04:11]Right? So, now we got to figure out where we're going and ultimately realize that just cuz they move this way does not mean you should move that way. They're dealing with billions of assets under management. Okay? So, not financial advice, but something that we do uh look at when we're looking at the markets.

[00:04:33]>> [snorts] >> Next up, we have Ethereum. Ethereum price chart targets 1.8k as total value lock hits 13-month lows.

[00:04:44]So, here we're seeing uh they're saying here this analyst is saying Ethereum is forming a bear pennant on the daily chart. You guys understand this this uh counter trend line. And if we go to our charts, you guys can see that as well.

[00:05:01]You can see that it's a it's counter trend line >> [music] >> and it broke and right now as it's breaking that you know, the writing's on the wall, right? Writing's on the wall for new lows and we'll dive into uh what Bitcoin is coming from. You guys see we had the exact same counter trend line uh saying we need to hold above, break above. We did not do that and so right now we are nearing a level of support. What are we going to do from there? Okay? Uh one thing you could say is that this could be respected and we want to wait to see us drop below 1,900, which is what they're saying going towards uh 1.8k, which is which is very possible. It's not that far away.

[00:05:49]Right? Right now, Ethereum's currently sitting at $2,075.

[00:05:53]Right? So, one thing we do know is Ethereum sits at the center of DeFi and tokenization narratives. All right? So, Ethereum does have first mover advantage, right? And I I think we're seeing now that the the weak uses metrics that people are using, right? With With people not necessarily uh you know, being very excited using Ethereum, you know, they're still transitioning they transitioned to proof of stake, but still, you know, not really priced as efficiently as people would want it.

[00:06:24]I think overall, the market still believes in Ethereum long-term. But, the current activity on Ethereum isn't matching that belief that we know.

[00:06:35]Like, we know people are believing in like there's there's been headlines out where you would think it'd be like Cardano or or uh uh not a not a uh Hedera or you thought that they were going to say, "Oh, they're coming out and they are you know, Chainlink." And they chose Ethereum.

[00:06:55]All right, we've seen that.

[00:06:56]And we've seen big announcements include Ethereum. So, right now what's what's we're seeing isn't matching what the metrics >> [music] >> and and the data in the blockchain is seeing. So, that's where Ethereum is kind of in uh that weird territory, guys. Very weird territory.

[00:07:16]But, if we take a look here at Bitcoin, why we're on the charts, why not go to this chart. I told you guys, watch out for this level. I said you got to watch out for 75K.

[00:07:26]Like, watch out for this level.

[00:07:28]And uh this will be kind of the deal breaker. Right now, it's looking like a like looking like a head and shoulders.

[00:07:34]That's what it looks like. Not a full because we didn't go all the way up here.

[00:07:38]But, I said watch out for this level.

[00:07:40]This is going to be critical. 75K is going to be critical.

[00:07:44]Cuz the worst thing that could happen is falling back into this [music] range.

[00:07:49]And right now we're It looks like a head and shoulders. It looks like we we could fall back into that range.

[00:07:55]I said, "Hey, we need to stay above here to break above." We didn't have We fell down. We're respecting 75. 75 psychologically is probably a big deal.

[00:08:04]Uh that's based off of what the charts are saying.

[00:08:06]Uh people are acting very emotionally to 75,000.

[00:08:12]And with that, I it it looks like we'll go back into range, but we will keep you guys updated on that because if you look here at all other charts and uh you know, really across the market, I think if you even go to crypto bubbles, you can see like there's mostly blood on the streets, right? Mostly blood on the streets. Uh you look up for the day, like a lot of red, not a lot of green.

[00:08:38]You have some rand- random greens there, but uh not a ton of green, mostly mostly a red. So, uh you know, that's the sentiment of the market. Uh guys, we are paying attention to this level.

[00:08:52]Uh we have alerts set, so we're even notified if we break below. I think we we were below for a little bit on Saturday, and then uh after that, came back above. Now, we have another big candle heading down to 75K again.

[00:09:07]So, >> [music] >> uh major level we're at, major level of support. This entire range is major because we will fall back into this range if we don't hold.

[00:09:19]>> [music] >> So, uh that's what we're looking like there. Uh as you know, we talked about it, Ethereum bears, right? We talked about the the XRP Ripple Ripple rumor mill, right? And then, also uh seeing how the outflows that we're seeing aren't necessarily uh a qualifier or a confirmation that crypto is is dying or crypto is is [music] is finished, right? I think you saw like Anthony Pompliano come out and and say crazy things like that, right? I I definitely think that news like this and the sentiment, we look at fear greed, the sentiment that we're seeing typically within crypto, it shakes out everyone.

[00:10:02]And like I said, this is going to be different because now we have institutions that are getting into [music] this space, right? Institutions are here. They're not going anywhere.

[00:10:14]They're getting a piece of pie a piece of the pie because they're in a position where they have to be [music] more efficient and they have to be able to compete. And that is where we're at, right? And so we [music] we see different projects that have really aligned themselves to be ready for this shift, right? So what's happening? So you see institutions pull out, right? They pull out with with their ETFs, right? They they get that exposure away.

[00:10:47]Just remember, they're not used to having 10, 20% drawdowns for new new technology.

[00:10:54]Just remember that. So when we look at institutional capital, right? [music] We we look how they're managing their funds and because that's all they're doing, we see Ethereum fundamentals conflicting.

[00:11:06]Ultimately, this isn't a simple bull or bear market, all [music] right? It's a transition that's happening right now. And like I say every day every video, we say it every week in almost every video, you have an opportunity to be a part [music] of this transition. Just because the capital and institutions are cautious does not mean they are not >> [music] >> investors. Not mean they are not here taking advantage of this accumulation zone. Hope you guys got some value out of this video. Keep moving forward in everything that you do. We'll see you soon.
