Circle探索在USDC Stablecoin發行人的IPO之前向Coinbase或Ripple Labs的銷售

根據新報告，Circle是管理Stablecoin USDC的點對點付款技術公司，與Coinbase Global和Ripple Labs進行了非正式的談判

The peer-to-peer payments technology firm managing the stablecoin USDC, Circle, is reportedly in informal talks with Coinbase Global and Ripple Labs over a possible long-term acquisition. This development arises as Circle prepares for its initial public offering (IPO).

據報導，管理Stablecoin USDC Circle的點對點支付技術公司正在與Coinbase Global和Ripple Labs進行非正式會談，以進行長期收購。當Circle為首次公開募股（IPO）準備時，這一發展就會產生。

According to a report by Fortune, four banking and private equity executives, who preferred anonymity, stated that Circle is aiming for a minimum sale valuation of $5 billion, aligning with its IPO target.

根據《財富》的一份報告，偏愛匿名的四名銀行和私募股權高管表示，Circle的目標是最低銷售估值50億美元，與其IPO目標保持一致。

"If an offer lands in their lap, Circle will likely 'sell in a heartbeat' to Coinbase," said one of the executives, highlighting the U.S. crypto exchange giant as a prime candidate for acquisition.

其中一位高管說：“如果要約在他們的腿上降落，圈子很可能會'賣給共同案件'。”

Another executive expressed optimism for the coming week, adding, "Things change week by week."

另一位高管表示對即將一周的樂觀情緒，並補充說：“事情每週都會改變。”

The equity executives noted that Circle is still planning to go public, having filed in April to list its Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the "CRCL" symbol with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, the IPO terms are yet to be disclosed.

股本高管指出，圈子仍計劃公開公開，並於4月份提交了在美國證券交易委員會（SEC）的“ CRCL”符號下，在4月份列出了其A類普通股。但是，IPO條款尚未披露。

While Ripple's bid to purchase Circle for around $4 billion to $5 billion was reportedly rejected in April, its balance sheet, boasting 4.5 billion XRP valued at $11.77 billion and $95.7 billion in funds held in escrow, makes it a strong contender.

據報導，據報導，波普爾（Ripple）在4月份拒絕了以40億美元至50億美元的價格購買Circle，但其資產負債表的擁有45億XRP的價值為117.7億美元，在埃斯克羅（Escrow）持有的資金為957億美元，使其成為強大的競爭者。

On the other hand, Coinbase's longstanding partnership with Circle is no less significant. In 2018, Circle engaged Coinbase to launch a joint venture that led to the issuance of the USDC stablecoin, and later Coinbase took an equity stake in Circle.

另一方面，Coinbase與Circle的長期合作夥伴關係同樣重要。 2018年，Circle聘請Coinbase開設了一家合資企業，導致了USDC Stablecoin的發行，後來Coinbase在Circle中獲得了股權。

"They're [Circle] going public doesn't change anything about our commercial relationship, but in terms of other deals we might be able to do in the future, I mean, that, of course, would be up to them and us, but, you know, nothing to announce today." Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, responded to a question about potentially acquiring Circle during a May interview with Bloomberg.

“他們[圈子]公開並沒有改變我們的商業關係，但是就我們將來可能會做的其他交易而言，我的意思是，當然，這將取決於他們和我們，但是，您知道今天沒有什麼可公告的。” Coinbase的首席執行官Brian Armstrong回答了一個問題，即可能在5月對彭博社的採訪中獲取圈子的問題。
