Ripple提議收購Stablecoin競爭對手Circle Internet Group Inc.的收購，價格為40億美元至50億美元

根據彭博社的說法，Circle拒絕了過低的提議。兩家公司最近幾個月進行了會談，儘管Ripple尚未決定是否提出後續提議。

According to Bloomberg, Ripple proposed to acquire stablecoin competitor Circle Internet Group Inc. for $4 billion to $5 billion. However, Circle reportedly turned down the offer as it deemed the valuation too low.

據彭博社稱，Ripple提議以40億美元至50億美元的價格收購Stablecoin競爭對手Internet Group Inc.。但是，據報導，Circle拒絕了該提議，因為它認為估值太低了。

The two companies engaged in discussions over recent months regarding a potential merger. However, Circle's primary focus at present is on completing its initial public offering, which it filed for earlier in April.

最近幾個月，兩家公司就潛在的合併進行了討論。但是，Circle目前的主要重點是完成其首次公開募股，該產品於4月初提交。

A spokesperson for Circle declined to comment directly on the deal, citing regulatory quiet periods for the IPO. However, they mentioned that the company's "long-term goals remain the same."

Circle的發言人拒絕直接對該交易發表評論，理由是該IPO的監管安靜時期。但是，他們提到該公司的“長期目標保持不變”。

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Ripple declined to comment further.

Circle's IPO

Circle的IPO

Circle officially submitted paperwork for its IPO on April 1, aiming for a listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) with the ticker "CRCL." The company is reportedly hoping to achieve a valuation of $4 to $5 billion with the IPO.

Circle於4月1日正式提交了其IPO的文書工作，旨在與股票“ CRCL”上紐約證券交易所（NYSE）上市。據報導，該公司希望通過IPO實現4至50億美元的估值。

Despite generating revenue of $1.68 billion in 2024, Circle's net income and EBITDA declined last year. This has led to concerns about high operational costs and slowing growth at the company.

儘管在2024年產生了16.8億美元的收入，但Circle的淨收入和EBITDA去年下降。這引起了人們對高運營成本和公司增長放緩的擔憂。

The offer from Ripple comes amid a broader wave of dealmaking in the crypto industry as token prices recover and firms prepare for public listings.

隨著代幣價格恢復和企業為公共上市做準備，來自加密貨幣行業的交易浪潮更廣泛，來自Ripple的報價。

Other crypto firms that are reportedly considering IPOs include BitGo, which is planning to go public through a SPAC merger with Payoneer at a valuation of $1.5 billion, and crypto exchange Gemini, which is planning a direct listing later this year.

據報導，其他正在考慮IPO的加密公司包括BITGO，該公司計劃通過與Payoneer的SPAC合併以15億美元的估值和加密貨幣交易所Gemini進行公開，該公司計劃今年晚些時候直接上市。

Moreover, Charles Eisenstein, a writer and speaker known for his work on economics, culture, and spirituality, penned an opinion piece warning against the "unfolding catastrophe" of a new Bretton Woods system. Eisenstein argued that the existing system is failing, leading to a search for alternatives. However, he believes that the proposed alternatives, such as a crypto-based Bretton Woods, will ultimately be worse.

此外，查爾斯·艾森斯坦（Charles Eisenstein）是一位以經濟學，文化和靈性的工作而聞名的作家和演講者，他對新布雷頓伍茲系統的“展開災難”發表了一篇文章警告。愛森斯坦認為，現有系統正在失敗，從而搜索了替代方案。但是，他認為，擬議的替代方案，例如基於加密貨幣的布雷頓·伍茲（Bretton Woods），最終會更糟。

Finally, Bullish Global, a cryptocurrency trading firm backed by hedge fund giant Point72, is also considering an IPO and could apply to list as early as this quarter, according to two people familiar with the matter. The firm, which began operations last year, is known for its large-scale, systematic crypto trading and investing activities.
