USDC Stablecoin的發行人Circle牢牢否認了報告，表明它正在進行有關潛在銷售的非正式討論

Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has firmly denied reports suggesting it is engaged in informal discussions with either US-based crypto exchange Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) or blockchain payment company Ripple (NYSE:PYPL) regarding a potential sale of the company.

USDC Stablecoin的發行人Circle堅決否認報告表明，該報告表明，它正在與總部位於美國的Crypto Exchange Coinbase（NASDAQ：COIN）或區塊鏈支付公司Ripple（NYSE：PYPL）進行有關公司潛在出售公司的潛在銷售的非正式討論。

This denial comes in light of a report by PYMNTS, which highlighted that Circle is currently focused on completing its initial public offering (IPO), which it initially disclosed in April.

這一否認是根據PYMNTS的一份報告，該報告強調了該Circle目前專注於完成其首次公開募股（IPO），該產品最初於4月份披露。

Circle Focuses On IPO Despite Ongoing Acquisition Interest

儘管持續收購權益，圈子仍專注於IPO

A spokesperson for Circle confirmed to the news outlet that the company is not for sale and that its long-term goals remain the same. This statement follows claims made by Seeking Alpha, which referenced a paywalled article from Fortune.

Circle的發言人向新聞媒體證實，該公司不出售，並且其長期目標保持不變。該聲明遵循尋求Alpha提出的主張，Alpha提到了《財富》中的有償文章。

The report by Fortune, written by Jane Street's Manuel Alvarez, Jr., stated that people familiar with the matter said Coinbase and Ripple were among the companies that approached Circle in recent months about a potential acquisition. However, according to the report, executives at Circle were interested in an IPO valuation of at least $5 billion.

Jane Street的小曼努埃爾·阿爾瓦雷斯（Manuel Alvarez，Jr。）撰寫的《財富》（Fortune）的報告說，熟悉此事的人們表示，Coinbase和Ripple是近幾個月來有關潛在收購的Circle的公司之一。但是，根據報告，Circle的高管對IPO估值至少50億美元感興趣。

Earlier reports had indicated that Circle rejected a takeover bid from Ripple, which was in the range of $4 billion to $5 billion, as the cryptocurrency firm's executives deemed the offer too low. While Ripple is still interested in acquiring Circle and may make a new offer, Circle is pressing ahead with its IPO plans.

較早的報導表明，Circle拒絕了Ripple的收購競標，該競標在40億美元至50億美元之間，因為加密貨幣公司的高管認為該提議過低。儘管Ripple仍然有興趣獲取Circle，並且可能會提出新的報價，但Circle迫在眉睫。

Circle’s IPO plans have seen a resurgence following a previous delay in December 2022. The company announced on April 1 that it had engaged investment banks to underwrite the IPO, although the exact timing for the public offering has yet to be determined.

Circle的IPO計劃在2022年12月的先前延誤之後宣布，該公司於4月1日宣布，該公司已聘請投資銀行承銷IPO，儘管公開發行的確切時機尚未確定。

This move follows a period of megadeals in the cryptocurrency sector, largely driven by a crypto-friendly administration under President Donald Trump, which relaxed regulations in the US.

此舉是在加密貨幣領域的一段時期的一段時間，這在很大程度上是由唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統領導下的加密貨幣友好政府驅動的，該政府在美國放鬆了法規。

Ripple, Coinbase, Pursue Major Growth Strategies

Ripple，Coinbase，追求主要的增長策略

In recent weeks, Ripple has been focused on expanding its operations. The company completed the acquisition of prime brokerage Hidden Road for $1.25 billion, making it the first cryptocurrency firm to own and operate a multi-asset prime broker.

最近幾週，Ripple一直專注於擴大其運營。該公司以12.5億美元的價格完成了對Prime Brokerage Hidden Road的收購，這使其成為第一家擁有和經營多資產總經理的加密貨幣公司。

Coinbase, on the other hand, is aiming to strengthen its position in the global derivatives market with the pending acquisition of Dubai-based crypto derivatives exchange Deribit for $2.9 billion, which is expected to close in the second half of 2024.

另一方面，Coinbase的目標是通過以待收購為基於迪拜的加密衍生物Exchange Deribit以29億美元的價格收購全球衍生品市場的地位，預計將在2024年下半年關閉。

In addition to its IPO endeavors, Circle has also been pursuing strategic acquisitions. Earlier this year, on January 21, the company announced its acquisition of Hashnote, the issuer of the USYC stablecoin, which is incubated by Cumberland Labs, the largest tokenized treasury and money market fund worldwide.

除了其IPO努力外，Circle還一直在追求戰略收購。今年早些時候，該公司於1月21日宣布收購Hashnote，Hashnote是USYC Stablecoin的發行人，該公司由坎伯蘭實驗室（Cumberland Labs）孵化，坎伯蘭實驗室（Cumberland Labs）是全球最大的標誌性財政部和貨幣市場基金。

The stablecoin issuer’s CEO Jeremy Allaire noted that this acquisition would unlock significant potential in a market being rapidly adopted by institutions, with participants expecting market structures to be built out like those in traditional finance.

Stablecoin發行人的首席執行官Jeremy Allaire指出，這項收購將在機構迅速採用的市場中釋放巨大的潛力，參與者期望像傳統金融中的市場結構建立市場結構。
