6億美元的Circle發行人獲得了阿布扎比金融監督機構的原則批准

隨著全球對Stablecoins Skyrockets的需求，綠燈的到來，今年USDC的供應量超過40％。

In a move that could reshape digital finance in the Middle East, Abu Dhabi’s financial watchdog has granted Circle, issuer of the $62 billion USDC stablecoin, in-principle approval to operate as a licensed money services provider.

為了在中東地區重塑數字融資的舉動，阿布扎比的金融監管機構授予了620億美元的$ 620億美元Stablecoin的發行人，原本批准是作為許可的貨幣服務提供商。

The Abu Dhabi Global Market’s (ADGM) Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) has begun the process of approving Circle to provide money services in the emirate, it announced on Saturday. The company, which was incorporated in ADGM last December, is now applying for full licensure to provide remittance and payment services in the UAE.

它於週六宣布，阿布扎比全球市場（ADGM）金融服務監管局（FSRA）已開始批准圈子以在酋長國提供貨幣服務的過程。該公司於去年12月在ADGM成立，現在正在申請全面許可，以在阿聯酋提供匯款和付款服務。

“This approval advances our strategy to establish deep roots in markets embracing the on-chain economy,” said Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire.

Circle首席執行官Jeremy Allaire說：“這一批准提出了我們在擁抱鏈經濟的市場中建立深層根源的戰略。”

The move underscores Abu Dhabi’s ambition to become a leading crypto hub, balancing innovation with stringent oversight. It comes as global demand for stablecoins is surging, with USDC’s supply increasing over 40% in 2025.

此舉強調了阿布扎比成為領先的加密樞紐樞紐的野心，將創新與嚴格的監督平衡。隨著全球對Stablecoins的需求正在激增，2025年USDC的供應量增加了40％以上。

"We are committed to providing a regulatory framework that supports responsible innovation in financial services and promotes the development of a diverse and competitive market in Abu Dhabi," said Arvind Ramamurthy, CEO of FSRA.

FSRA首席執行官Arvind Ramamurthy表示：“我們致力於提供一個監管框架，該框架支持金融服務中負責任的創新，並促進阿布扎比的多元化和競爭性市場的發展。”

ADGM's rigorous compliance checks ensure only vetted players like Circle can participate in its financial ecosystem. The regulator conducts a comprehensive assessment of applicants' business model, management team, and operations to align with FSRA's regulatory requirements and standards.

ADGM的嚴格合規性檢查確保只有像Circle這樣的審查玩家才能參與其財務生態系統。監管機構對申請人的業務模型，管理團隊和運營進行全面評估，以與FSRA的監管要求和標准保持一致。

"This emphasis on credibility is critical for enabling institutional adoption of Web3 technologies and products," added Dante Disparte, chief strategy officer and head of global policy at Circle.

“對信譽的強調對於實現Web3技術和產品的機構採用至關重要，” Circle全球政策局長Dante Disparte補充說。

The approval for USDC marks a turning point in Abu Dhabi's journey to become a global fintech base, according to Ahmad Ali Alwan, CEO of Hub71, which is supporting Circle's integration into the emirate's tech ecosystem.

HUB71首席執行官艾哈邁德·阿里·阿爾萬（Ahmad Ali Alwan）表示，USDC的批准標誌著阿布扎比成為全球金融科技基地的旅程的轉折點。

"We are seeing more and more startups choose Hub71 to launch and scale their businesses thanks to the incredible support from the government and the pro-business environment in Abu Dhabi," Alwan said.

阿爾萬說：“由於政府和阿布扎比的親企業環境的不可思議的支持，我們看到越來越多的初創公司選擇HUB71來推出和擴展業務。”

Earlier this year, Circle and LuLu Financial Holdings announced plans to use USDC for cross-border payments between the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. The partnership will streamline remittances and reduce costs, especially for high-volume corridors.

今年早些時候，Circle和Lulu Financial Holdings宣布了計劃將USDC用於中東，亞洲和歐洲之間的跨境支付。合作夥伴關係將簡化匯款並降低成本，尤其是對於大批量的走廊。

"Together, we will create a seamless and efficient ecosystem that fosters groundbreaking solutions to some of the most pressing issues facing the industry today," said Alwan.

阿爾萬說：“我們將共同創建一個無縫有效的生態系統，為當今行業面臨的一些最緊迫的問題促進了開創性的解決方案。”

As part of the partnership, Hub71 will provide startups with access to grants, mentorship programs, and the ADGM regulatory sandbox, enabling them to develop and test innovative financial solutions.

作為合作夥伴關係的一部分，HUB71將為初創企業提供獲得贈款，指導計劃和ADGM監管沙箱的訪問，從而使他們能夠開發和測試創新的金融解決方案。

The partnership aligns with the UAE's $2 billion investment plan to develop blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies.

該合作夥伴關係與阿聯酋的20億美元投資計劃相吻合，以製定區塊鏈技術和加密貨幣。

"Abu Dhabi is committed to becoming a global fintech base and offers a unique proposition to startups and investors in the Web3 space with its advanced infrastructure, sophisticated legal and regulatory framework, and a low-to-no-tax regime, especially for crypto trades," added Alwan.

“阿布扎比致力於成為全球金融科技基地，並為Web3領域的初創企業和投資者提供了獨特的主張，其先進的基礎架構，複雜的法律和監管框架以及低到納稅的政權，尤其是對加密貨幣的貿易，” Alwan補充說。

Earlier this week, Circle launched its new cross-border payments network, which will connect banks and fintech firms for real-time transactions using USDC. The move is part of broader efforts to integrate USDC into mainstream finance.

本週早些時候，Circle推出了新的跨境支付網絡，該網絡將使用USDC連接銀行和金融科技公司進行實時交易。此舉是將USDC整合到主流財務中的更廣泛努力的一部分。

Earlier this year, Circle became the first stablecoin issuer to fully comply with the European Union's (EU) Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations. It also launched USDC in Japan through a partnership with SBI Holdings.

今年早些時候，Circle成為第一個完全遵守加密資產（MICA）法規中歐盟（EU）市場的穩定發行人。它還通過與SBI Holdings建立合作夥伴關係在日本推出了USDC。

These developments highlight Circle's strategy of prioritizing jurisdictions that have clear and comprehensive cryptocurrency regulations in order to attract institutional investors.

這些事態發展重點介紹了Circle優先考慮具有明確而全面的加密貨幣法規以吸引機構投資者的司法管轄區的策略。

ADGM's financial services regulator is known for its robust standards, having previously rejected an application from a crypto exchange, highlighting the competitive landscape in Abu Dhabi's crypto market.

ADGM的金融服務監管機構以其強大的標準而聞名，此前以前拒絕了加密貨幣交易所的申請，突出了阿布扎比的加密貨幣市場的競爭格局。

Despite securing in-principle approval, Circle still needs to complete the full licensing process in Abu Dhabi, which could be subject to further checks and potential delays.

儘管獲得了原則內批准，但Circle仍然需要完成阿布扎比的完整許可過程，這可能會受到進一步的檢查和潛在的延遲。

The move comes as U.S. officials are probing whether Circle mishandled customer funds, adding another layer of complexity to the firm's plans.

此舉是因為美國官員正在探測Circle不幸的客戶資金是否為公司的計劃增加了另一層複雜性。

However, the in-principle nod from Abu Dhabi strengthens Circle's case as it navigates a U.S. initial public offering (IPO) quiet period. The firm also faces scrutiny over its handling of customer funds.

但是，當阿布扎比的原理範圍內點頭增強了Circle的案例，因為它在美國首次公開募股（IPO）安靜時期導航。該公司還在處理客戶資金方面面臨審查。

"We have no regional plans to disclose at this time," a Circle spokesperson told.

一位發言人告訴說：“目前我們沒有區域計劃可以披露。”

The Middle East nation's crypto market is expected to reach $254 million by 2025, driven by the government's pro-innovation policies and the ambition of financial institutions to integrate digital assets.

預計到2025年，中東國家的加密貨幣市場預計將達到2.54億美元，這是政府的支持創新政策以及金融機構構成數字資產的野心的推動。
