如前所述，Ripple正在考慮購買Stablecoin公司Circle。

這家總部位於舊金山的金融科技公司提出了50億美元（77.5億澳元）的收購要約，這被拒絕了。

As reported previously, fintech company Ripple made a US$5 billion takeover bid for stablecoin firm Circle, but the San Francisco-based company rejected the offer.

如前所述，金融科技公司的Ripple向Stablecoin circle提出了50億美元的收購，但總部位於舊金山的公司拒絕了這一提議。

Now, rumors have swirled that Ripple made a second, much more generous offer of US$20 billion.

現在，有傳言稱Ripple提出了200億美元的第二次，更慷慨的報價。

However, according to a report by Fortune, it may not come to that. The magazine cited sources who claim that Circle is considering selling itself to either Ripple or crypto exchange Coinbase.

但是，根據《財富》的一份報告，可能不會。該雜誌引用了消息來源，他們聲稱Circle正在考慮將自己出售給Ripple或Crypto Exchange Coinbase。

People who asked to remain anonymous say Circle is looking for at least US$5 billion. Fortune quotes one person saying that Circle would be more than happy to sell to Coinbase.

要求保持匿名的人說Circle正在尋找至少50億美元。 《財富》引用一個人說，圈子很樂意賣給Coinbase。

Another person said that “things change week by week”, although this doesn’t tell us much, it shows that the situation remains fluid.

另一個人說：“事物一周會改變”，儘管這並不能告訴我們太多，但這表明情況仍然是流暢的。

According to Fortune, Circle told the magazine that the company is “not for sale” and that its “long-term goals remain the same”. Meaning the IPO should still go ahead as planned.

據《財富》報導，Circle告訴該雜誌，該公司“不出售”，其“長期目標保持不變”。這意味著IPO仍應按計劃進行。

USDC, the stablecoin issued by Circle, is the second largest stablecoin with a market cap of US$60 billion and a 24-hour volume of US$13 billion. For comparison, Tether (USDT) has a market cap of US$305 billion and a 24-hour volume of US$93 billion.

USDC是Circle發行的Stablecoin，是第二大Stablecoin，市值為600億美元，銷量為24小時130億美元。為了進行比較，Tether（USDT）的市值為3050億美元，數量為24小時，為930億美元。

Ripple has its own stablecoin, RLUSD, but it is far behind in market cap (US$312 million; AU$483 million) and daily volume (US$313 million; AU$485 million).

Ripple擁有自己的Stablecoin RLUSD，但遠遠落後於市值（3.12億美元； AU 4.83億美元）和每日銷量（3.13億美元； AU 4.85億美元）。

If Ripple were to acquire Circle, analysts have suggested that XRP could benefit greatly. All Things XRP said on Crypto Twitter that Ripple is committed to “dominate payments, own stablecoin rails, and make XRP the default bridge”.

如果波紋為獲得圓圈，分析師建議XRP可以大大受益。 XRP在Crypto Twitter上說，Ripple致力於“主導付款，擁有Stablecoin Rails，並使XRP成為默認橋”。

Ripple acquired prime-brokerage Hidden Road at US$1.25 billion in April. The company also just rolled out its cross-border payments platform in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in cooperation with Zand Bank and Mamo.

Ripple在4月以12.5億美元的價格收購了Prime Brokerage Hidden Road。該公司還與Zand Bank和Mamo合作，在阿拉伯聯合酋長國（UAE）推出了其跨境支付平台。

It remains to be seen if Coinbase or Ripple gets to seal the deal; it would be bullish for either company and for the entire crypto sector.

Coinbase或Ripple是否可以達成交易還有待觀察。對於任何一家公司和整個加密貨幣領域來說，這都是看好的。

Coinbase and Circle co-founded the Centre Consortium in 2018 to issue the USDC stablecoin; when that venture ended in 2023, Coinbase received an equity stake in Circle and Circle took over sole governance of USDC.

Coinbase和Circle於2018年共同創立了該中心財團，頒發了USDC Stablecoin；當該冒險在2023年結束時，Coinbase獲得了Circle的股權，Circle接管了USDC的唯一治理。
