Circle Internet Financial探索收購要約，至少為50億美元

據說討論涉及長期合作夥伴Coinbase和Ripple，後者最近推出了自己的Rlusd Stablecoin，並一直在積極尋求收購。

Circle Internet Financial, the company behind the USDC stablecoin, is reportedly exploring acquisition offers at a valuation of at least $5 billion, even as it pursues plans to go public, according to Fortune.

The discussions are said to involve Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN), a long-time partner, and Ripple (NYSE:PYPL), which recently launched its own RLUSD stablecoin and has been actively seeking acquisitions.

據說討論涉及長期合作夥伴的Coinbase（NASDAQ：COIN）和Ripple（NYSE：PYPL），該公司最近發起了自己的RLUSD Stablecoin，並一直在積極尋求收購。

Reportedly, Ripple made an offer in April that was valued between $4 billion and $5 billion, but Circle declined, calling the price too low.

據報導，Ripple在4月份提出的要約價值在40億至50億美元之間，但Circle下降了，稱價格過低。

The reported talks come as Circle, which filed a prospectus for an IPO last month, seeks to balance growth ambitions with market realities. The company previously abandoned a planned SPAC deal in 2022 that would have valued it at $9 billion, as market conditions deteriorated during the crypto downturn.

報導的談判是隨著上個月提交了IPO招股說明書的Circle，試圖平衡增長野心與市場現實。該公司此前在2022年放棄了一項計劃中的SPAC交易，該協議的價值為90億美元，因為在加密貨幣下滑期間市場條件惡化。

Circle’s future remains closely tied to USDC, the second-largest stablecoin by market cap and a key player in crypto payments and DeFi markets. It’s also deeply integrated with Coinbase, which helped co-found the CENTRE Consortium to govern USDC and earned $900 million in distribution fees from Circle in 2024 alone.

Circle的未來仍然與USDC緊密相關，USDC是市值第二大的Stablecoin，也是加密支付和Defi市場的關鍵參與者。它也與Coinbase深入融合，該基礎幫助共同創立了中心財團，以管理USDC，並僅在2024年就從Circle獲得了9億美元的發行費。

According to the firm’s S-1 filing with the SEC, Circle booked $155.7 million in net income for 2024, a steep drop from $267.6 million in 2023. Though this reflects a sharp rebound from the $768.8 million loss in 2022, some observers see troubling signs when comparing Circle’s performance to that of its offshore rival Tether, which reported $13 billion in profits for the same period — most of it from U.S. Treasury yield.

根據該公司向SEC提交的S-1備案，Circle預訂了2024年的1.557億美元的淨收入，從2023年的2.676億美元下降了。儘管這反映了2022年的7.688億美元虧損的急劇折扣，一些觀察者在比較圈子的情況下，據報導，這是一筆不合時間的競爭，這是在比較cirve cirve的情況下，這是競爭票價上的一流票價，這是一筆不合時間的票房，這是130億美元的相同。

Coinbase is expected to soon join the S&P 500, becoming the first major crypto-native company to do so. It has also been exploring acquisitions of its own, including derivatives exchange Deribit and privacy project IronFish.

預計Coinbase將很快加入標準普爾500指數，成為第一家主要的加密本地公司。它還一直在探索自己的收購，包括衍生品交換deribit和Ironfish Project Ironfish。

Circle’s reported valuation suggests that investors still see strategic value in stablecoins, particularly as Washington moves toward legislation. President Donald Trump has called for stablecoin regulation to pass by the end of the summer, giving issuers and exchanges more clarity.

Circle報導的估值表明，投資者仍然看到Stablecoins的戰略價值，特別是當華盛頓朝著立法發展時。唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統呼籲在夏季結束時通過Stablecoin法規通過，使發行人和交流更加清晰。

Still, market analysts are skeptical of a wave of new crypto IPOs unless broader macro conditions improve. Circle joins Kraken, BitGo, and other firms that showed interest in going public, but may face delays if capital markets remain cautious.

儘管如此，除非更廣泛的宏觀條件改善，否則市場分析師對新的加密IPO持懷疑態度。 Circle與Kraken，Bitgo和其他對公開興趣的公司的加入，但如果資本市場仍然謹慎，可能會面臨延誤。

Circle has not yet commented on the reported acquisition talks.
