Circle否認它是在Ripple的100億美元收購謠言中的“不出售”

Stablecoin發行人Circle最近否認有報導稱它正在與Coinbase或Ripple進行談判，以進行可能的銷售。

Stablecoin issuer Circle has recently denied reports that it is in talks with Coinbase or Ripple for a possible sale.

Stablecoin發行人Circle最近否認有報導稱它正在與Coinbase或Ripple進行談判，以進行可能的銷售。

“Circle is not for sale. Our long-term goals remain the same: to build the best performing digital currency in the world and the leading open financial technology network,” the company said in a statement to Blockworks.

該公司在Blockworks的一份聲明中說：“ Circle不出售。我們的長期目標是相同的：建立世界上最佳性能的數字貨幣和領先的開放金融技術網絡。”

This comes as Circle is gearing up for its IPO, aiming for a valuation of at least $5 billion. Earlier, Circle reportedly turned down a $4–5 billion offer from Ripple.

這是因為Circle正準備進行IPO，旨在至少50億美元的估值。早些時候，據報導，Circle拒絕了Ripple的4-5億美元報價。

While there are rumors that Ripple may have raised its bid to around $11 billion, Circle appears to be focused on going public. The company had filed paperwork for a possible IPO early April and had hired investment banks to help with its plans. However, the timing of the IPO is not yet confirmed.

儘管有傳言稱Ripple可能已將其出價提高到110億美元，但Circle似乎專注於公開場合。該公司已向4月初可能的IPO提交了文書工作，並僱用了投資銀行來幫助其計劃。但是，IPO的時間尚未確認。

In January, Circle had mentioned that it was reconsidering going public after it had delayed a planned IPO in December.

1月，Circle提到，在12月推遲了計劃的IPO之後，它正在重新考慮公開。

At the time, the company stated that it was holding off on the IPO due to unfavorable market conditions.

當時，該公司表示，由於市場條件不利，它正在上次公開募股。

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently weighed in on the idea of Ripple buying Circle, saying it could improve the crypto space.

Cardano創始人查爾斯·霍斯金森（Charles Hoskinson）最近對Ripple購買Circle的想法進行了權衡，稱它可以改善加密貨幣空間。

“There’s this Coinbase-A16Z-Circle mafia where they’ve built an ecosystem that’s self-serving. If you’re outside it, you get blacklisted — it’s hard to get listed, hard to get liquidity, and hard to access stablecoins,” Hoskinson said.

霍斯金森說：“有一個共同的coinbase-a16z-circle黑手黨在那裡建立了一個自私的生態系統。如果您在外面，您將被列入黑名單 - 很難被列出，很難獲得流動性，並且很難獲得Stablecoins。”

He added that if Ripple were to get involved in the stablecoin business, it could break the monopoly and make way for newer, more diverse projects.

他補充說，如果Ripple是要參與Stablecoin業務，它可能會破壞壟斷，並為更新，更多樣化的項目留路。

On the other side, Coinbase and Circle have deep ties: they co-created USDC, share revenue from its reserves, and Coinbase even owns a stake in Circle. Coinbase gets 100% of USDC earnings if funds are held on its platform.

另一方面，Coinbase和Circle具有深厚的聯繫：他們共同創建了USDC，從其儲備中分享收入，Coinbase甚至擁有Circle的股份。如果在其平台上持有資金，Coinbase將獲得100％的USDC收益。

Also, Circle cannot enter new USDC-related partnerships without Coinbase’s approval, and Coinbase gets partial IP rights if Circle goes bankrupt. With so much control and shared profit already in place, many see Coinbase as the most likely buyer.

此外，未經Coinbase的批准，Circle將無法進入與USDC相關的新合作夥伴關係，如果Circle破產，Coinbase將獲得部分IP權利。由於已經有如此多的控制權和共享利潤，許多人將Coinbase視為最有可能的買家。

However, since Circle has now clarified that it is not for sale and has set its sights on an IPO, only time will tell what happens next.

但是，由於Circle現在已經澄清了它不是出售的，並且已經將目光投向了IPO，因此只有時間才能說明接下來會發生什麼。

The IPO market recently got a boost when eToro, the online trading platform, jumped 29% on its first day, raising $620 million at $52 per share. eToro’s strong debut may encourage Circle to move forward with its IPO plans.

當在線交易平台Etoro在第一天增長29％時，IPO市場最近得到了推動，籌集了62.2億美元，每股52美元。埃托羅（Etoro）的出色首次亮相可能會鼓勵Circle推進其IPO計劃。

But some investors believe that it often takes time to judge how new public companies will perform in the long run.

但是一些投資者認為，從長遠來看，判斷新的上市公司的表現通常需要花費時間。
