Japanese financial giant SBI Holdings and its banking arm, SBI Shinsei Bank, have invested a combined $50 million in Circle, the issuer of USDC, the world’s largest regulated dollar-backed stablecoin.

日本金融巨頭SBI Holdings及其銀行部門SBI Shinsei Bank已投資了5000萬美元的圈子，這是全球最大的受監管美元支持的Stablecoin的發行人。

Each entity contributed $25 million, securing one of the largest allocations in Circle’s oversubscribed IPO.

每個實體貢獻了2500萬美元，確保了Circle超額認購IPO中最大的分配之一。

The investment follows Circle’s highly anticipated listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on June 5.

這項投資是在6月5日在紐約證券交易所（NYSE）上備受期待的上市。

Circle’s public debut marked a major fintech milestone.

Circle的公開首次亮相標誌著一個主要的金融科技里程碑。

Its shares opened at $69, compared to the IPO price of $31, and closed at $83 — the biggest IPO for a fintech company since Coinbase’s 2021 listing.

它的股票開盤價為69美元，而IPO價格為31美元，收盤價為83美元，這是自Coinbase 2021年上市以來金融科技公司最大的IPO。

SBI's move comes as no surprise given its broader strategy to integrate stablecoins into traditional finance.

鑑於其更廣泛的策略將Stablecoins整合到傳統財務上，SBI的舉動就不足為奇了。

In March 2025, SBI VC Trade became the first Japanese exchange to list USDC for public trading.

2025年3月，SBI VC貿易成為第一個列出公共貿易USDC的日本交易所。

A Long History in Digital Finance

數字金融的悠久歷史
