Circle's USD Coin (USDC) is officially launching in Japan on March 26, 2025, marking a key moment for the Japanese crypto market.

Circle的美元硬幣（USDC）於2025年3月26日在日本正式推出，這標誌著日本加密貨幣市場的關鍵時刻。

The approval process wasn't quick. It took two years of discussion with regulators, banking partners, and industry players to get here.

批准過程並不快。與監管機構，銀行合作夥伴和行業參與者進行了兩年的討論，才能到達這裡。

After SBI VC Trade, a cryptocurrency exchange owned by Japanese financial giant SBI Holdings, received approval to list USDC, the brightest minds in the Japanese crypto scene have come together to bring this vision to life.

在SBI VC Trade之後，日本金融巨頭SBI Holdings擁有的加密貨幣交易所獲得了批准以列出USDC，日本加密貨幣場景中最聰明的頭腦已經融合在一起，使這一願景栩栩如生。

This makes USDC the first global dollar stablecoin approved for use in Japan.

這使USDC成為批准在日本使用的首個全球美元Stablecoin。

SBI VC Trade will be the first exchange to list USDC, but the expansion is already planned.

SBI VC貿易將是第一個列出USDC的交易所，但已經計劃進行擴展。

Specifically, Binance Japan, bitbank, and bitFlyer also plan to list and distribute USDC in the near future.

具體來說，日本二元，比特班克和Bitflyer也計劃在不久的將來列出和分發USDC。

These are major players in Japan's crypto ecosystem.

這些是日本加密生態系統中的主要參與者。

Bitbank and bitFlyer are among the country's largest exchanges, processing more than $25 million each per day with over 1.85 million monthly website visits.

Bitbank和Bitflyer是該國最大的交易所之一，每天處理超過2500萬美元，每月訪問超過185萬美元。

To support local operations, Circle has established Circle Japan KK. This entity will work closely with SBI through a joint venture announced in 2023.

為了支持當地運營，Circle已建立了Circle Japan KK。該實體將通過2023年宣布的合資企業與SBI緊密合作。

The partnership aims to combine USDC distribution with banking and Web3 technology for the Japanese market.

該合作夥伴關係旨在將USDC分銷與日本市場的銀行和Web3技術相結合。

This partnership was forged in December 2022 when SBI Group announced plans to offer a tokenized version of its wholly owned bank, holding a third-party fiduciary to manage the tokens.

該合作夥伴關係於2022年12月建立，當時SBI集團宣布計劃提供其全資銀行的令牌版本，並持有第三方受託人來管理代幣。

This move signaled a broader shift in Japan's financial landscape as the country continues to integrate digital assets into its mainstream financial system.

此舉表明，隨著該國繼續將數字資產納入其主流金融體系，日本金融環境發生了更大的轉變。

This initiative aligns with Japan's broader agenda for advancing blockchain-based finance.

該計劃與日本更廣泛的議程相吻合，以推進基於區塊鏈的財務。

Highlighting the partnership, Yoshitaka Kitao, CEO and president of SBI Holdings, said the launch would "enhance financial accessibility and drive crypto innovation" in Japan's evolving digital economy.

SBI Holdings的首席執行官兼總裁吉托（Yoshitaka Kitao）表示，該夥伴關係將在日本不斷發展的數字經濟中“增強財務可及性並推動加密創新”。

"We are excited to bring this innovation to the Japanese market," said Allaire.

Allaire說：“我們很高興能將這項創新帶入日本市場。”

"This initiative will unlock tremendous opportunities not just in trading digital assets, but more broadly in payments, cross border finance and commerce, FX, and Web3 services and applications."

“這項倡議將不僅在交易數字資產方面釋放巨大的機會，而且在付款，跨境融資和商業，FX以及Web3服務和應用程序方面更廣泛地釋放了巨大的機會。”

This development comes at an interesting time for Japan's currency. The continued weakening of the Japanese yen against the US dollar creates unique market dynamics.

這一發展是一個有趣的日本貨幣時刻。日元對美元的日元繼續削弱，創造了獨特的市場動態。

If the yen continues to show weakness, Japanese investors might turn to USDC as a hedge, which could potentially "increase selling pressure on JPY," according to Jay Jo, a senior research analyst at Tiger Research.

Tiger Research的高級研究分析師傑伊·喬（Jay Jo）表示，如果日元繼續表現出弱點，那麼日元可能會作為對沖，這可能會“增加對JPY的銷售壓力”。

Easy access to dollar-denominated assets might accelerate outflows from traditional yen investments, especially if interest rate differentials remain wide.

容易獲得以美元計價的資產來加速傳統日元投資的流出，尤其是在利率差異仍然很大的情況下。

This could have broader implications for the yen's exchange rate in the long term.

從長遠來看，這可能對日元的匯率具有更大的影響。

"The move by Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) to approve SBI to list USD Coin (USDC) is a significant step in the integration of digital assets into the country's financial system," said Jo.

喬說：“日本金融服務局（FSA）批准SBI列出美元硬幣（USDC）的舉動是將數字資產集成到該國金融體系中的重要一步。”

"It also marks a key development for the global stablecoin market, as USDC becomes the first global dollar stablecoin approved for use in Japan after two years of discussions and cooperation between government agencies, commercial banks, and industry players."

“這也標誌著全球Stablecoin市場的一個關鍵發展，因為在政府機構，商業銀行和行業參與者之間進行了兩年的討論和合作，USDC成為了在日本使用的首個全球美元Stablecoin。”

The approval process was a collective effort involving regulators, banking partners, and industry players, assembling over two years to navigate legal and technical complexities.

批准過程是一項集體努力，涉及監管機構，銀行合作夥伴和行業參與者，他們組裝了兩年以上，以探討法律和技術複雜性。

This collaboration was crucial in setting the stage for USDC's launch in Japan.

這項合作對於為USDC在日本推出的舞台至關重要。

The move is part of Japan's broader strategy to foster innovation in its financial sector and strengthen the competitiveness of its economy on the global stage.

此舉是日本在其金融領域促進創新並增強其在全球舞台上經濟的競爭力的更廣泛戰略的一部分。

The country has been actively exploring and introducing new technologies, particularly in the realm of digital assets.

該國一直在積極探索和介紹新技術，尤其是在數字資產領域。

As Japan continues to adapt to the evolving landscape of finance and technology, the launch of USDC marks a significant milestone in the country's journey towards a more integrated and interconnected financial system.

隨著日本繼續適應不斷發展的金融和技術景觀，USDC的推出標誌著該國邁向更融合和相互聯繫的金融體系的旅程是一個重要的里程碑。
