Price Target and Recent Rumor

The XRP community frequently cites a $589 price target for XRP. A new rumor claims Ripple may acquire Circle, the issuer of USDC, reviving interest in that figure. Dark Defender posted a cryptic “5x8x9=360” image linking the rumor to the target. The speculation has spread despite Ripple and Circle not confirming any deal.

Origins of the $589 Figure

The $589 number originated in 2018 from an anonymous post by bearableguy123 and quickly spread on crypto forums. Over time it became a symbolic goal tied to Ripple’s vision for global cross‑border settlement. Numerology and coded references have reinforced its cultural status within the XRP army. Even CEO Brad Garlinghouse follows exactly 589 accounts on X, adding to the intrigue.

Potential Acquisition and Market Impact

Ripple already runs its own stablecoin, RLUSD, while Circle’s USDC is the second‑largest stablecoin with a $61.5 billion market cap. Acquiring Circle would give Ripple control of both stablecoins, greatly expanding its payments infrastructure. Although a $5 billion offer in 2025 was rejected and Circle’s market value now exceeds $28 billion, the rumor fuels belief that the $589 target could become realistic.
