據報導，Ripple Labs提出要收購競爭對手Stablecoin提供商Circle Internet Group，估計為40億至50億美元

但是，這種初始出價被Circle拒絕了，因為太低了。亞歷克斯·史密斯（Alex Smith）。 2023年4月18日上午1:13更新了PDT。

According to a Bloomberg report, financial firm Ripple Labs is reportedly interested in acquiring stablecoin and industrial payment firm Circle Internet Group for an estimated $4 billion to $5 billion.

根據彭博社的一份報告，據報導，金融公司Ripple Labs有興趣收購Stablecoin和工業支付公司Circle Internet Group，估計為40億美元至50億美元。

This initial bid was reportedly rejected by Circle as being too low.

據報導，這一最初的競標被Circle拒絕了，因為它太低了。

A spokesperson for Circle responded to inquiries about the potential acquisition by stating that they do not comment on market rumors.

Circle的發言人回應了有關潛在收購的詢問，並指出他們沒有對市場謠言發表評論。

They added that further details about their corporate financial plans would not be disclosed due to the ongoing “quiet period” with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, Circle’s long-term goals remain unchanged.

他們補充說，由於與美國證券交易委員會（SEC）持續的“安靜期”，因此不會披露有關其公司財務計劃的更多詳細信息。但是，Circle的長期目標保持不變。

This interest from Ripple arises following its recent move to acquire Hidden Road, a multi-asset prime brokerage firm, for $1.25 billion. This strategic move is aimed at boosting Ripple’s capabilities in the stablecoin market, which has been gaining momentum amid rising demand for digital assets that maintain a stable value.

在最近搬家以12.5億美元的價格收購了一家多資產總經理公司Hidden Road（一家多資產總經理公司）之後，這種利益引起了這種興趣。這一戰略舉動旨在促進Stablecoin市場中Ripple的能力，該市場在維持穩定價值的數字資產需求上不斷增長，該市場一直在增強勢頭。

On the other hand, Circle, known for issuing the USDC stablecoin, has experienced fluctuations in its market valuation. Last year, Circle was reportedly valued between $5 billion and $5.25 billion in secondary market trades. This figure is down from the $9 billion valuation achieved in early 2022 during an unsuccessful attempt to go public via a SPAC merger with Concord Acquisition Corp.

另一方面，以發行USDC Stablecoin而聞名的Circle在其市場估值中經歷了波動。據報導，去年，圈子的二級市場交易價值在50億至52.5億美元之間。這一數字與2022年初在與Concord Accelisition Corp的SPAC合併中公開的未成功嘗試中獲得的90億美元估值下降。

Recently, Circle filed an S-1 registration statement with the SEC as it prepares for a long-awaited initial public offering (IPO). The company is aiming to achieve a valuation of $4 billion to $5 billion through this public offering, which is expected to be filed by the end of April.

最近，Circle在為期待已久的首次公開募股（IPO）準備時，向SEC提交了S-1註冊聲明。該公司的目標是通過這項公開發行實現40億至50億美元的估值，預計將於4月底提交。

While the exact timing of the IPO remains uncertain, companies that file for an IPO generally begin trading shares about four weeks later, although some may remain in registration for months.

儘管IPO的確切時機仍然不確定，但提交IPO的公司通常在四個星期後開始交易股票，儘管有些公司可能會在註冊中持續數月。

This marks Circle’s second attempt to go public. The company previously announced plans for a SPAC merger in 2021, but regulatory issues arose when the SEC did not approve the proposed deal, leading to multiple extensions.

這標誌著Circle的第二次公開嘗試。該公司此前宣布了2021年的SPAC合併計劃，但是當SEC不批准擬議交易時，就出現了監管問題，導致多次擴展。

If successful, Circle’s IPO could represent the largest cryptocurrency-related public offering since Coinbase went public in 2021 through a direct listing. Financial giants JPMorgan and Citi served as advisors during Coinbase’s IPO process.

如果成功的話，Circle的IPO可以代表自2021年通過直接上市公開發行以來，Circle的IPO代表與加密貨幣相關的最大公共產品。金融巨頭摩根大通和花旗在Coinbase的IPO流程中擔任顧問。

The current political landscape may also favor Circle’s ambitions. Recent advancements in stablecoin legislation in Congress could provide a bullish signal for the company. The Senate Banking Committee has moved forward with a bill, and the House of Representatives is expected to vote on its version soon.

當前的政治景觀也可能有利於Circle的野心。國會穩定立法的最新進展可能會為公司提供看漲信號。參議院銀行委員會已提出一項法案，預計眾議院將很快對其版本進行投票。

Moreover, pro-crypto sentiment from President Donald Trump, who has expressed a desire to sign stablecoin legislation by August, suggests potential regulatory support for the industry.

此外，總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的親克賴特（Crypto）情緒表示願意在8月之前簽署Stablecoin立法，這表明對該行業的潛在監管支持。
