Avalon Labs 筹集 1000 万美元以扩展其比特币支持的稳定币和加密货币平台

比特币区块链是比特币加密货币（BTC）的基础，长期以来，比特币一直被投资者视为“数字价值储存手段”。

Avalon Labs, the developer of a stablecoin built atop the bitcoin blockchain, announced on Monday that it raised $10 million in new funding to grow its decentralized finance capabilities and cryptocurrency.

Avalon Labs 是一款基于比特币区块链的稳定币开发商，周一宣布筹集 1000 万美元新资金，以增强其去中心化金融能力和加密货币。

The company raised the funding in a Series A funding round led by Framework Ventures with participation from UTXO Management, Presto Labs and Kenetic Capital among others.

该公司在由 Framework Ventures 领投、UTXO Management、Presto Labs 和 Kenetic Capital 等参与的 A 轮融资中筹集了资金。

The bitcoin blockchain acts as a foundation for the bitcoin cryptocurrency, or BTC, which has long been seen as a “digital store of value,” by investors. However, it also has problems when used as a currency due to its high volatility. Over the past six months, bitcoin has risen from $60,000 to over $100,000. The currency can rise or fall by several thousand dollars within 24 hours.

比特币区块链是比特币加密货币（BTC）的基础，长期以来，比特币一直被投资者视为“数字价值储存手段”。然而，由于其高波动性，它在用作货币时也存在问题。在过去的六个月里，比特币已经从 60,000 美元上涨到超过 100,000 美元。货币在24小时内可以上涨或下跌数千美元。

A stablecoin, on the other hand, is a cryptocurrency that has a value “pegged” to another currency, for example, the U.S. dollar so it will always trade one-to-one. Avalon Lab’s stablecoin, USDa, uses the security of the bitcoin blockchain as its foundation and each token trades for $1 USD no matter how much BTC is currently worth.

另一方面，稳定币是一种与另一种货币“挂钩”的加密货币，例如美元，因此它总是一对一地进行交易。 Avalon Lab 的稳定币 USDa 以比特币区块链的安全性为基础，无论 BTC 目前价值多少，每个代币的交易价格均为 1 美元。

The bitcoin blockchain is considered highly secure because it uses a decentralized network where every transaction is encrypted and verified across multiple nodes. As transactions are added to the network cryptographic hashing is used to make them impossible to alter after the fact by using computing power to secure the entire network and ensure data integrity.

比特币区块链被认为是高度安全的，因为它使用去中心化网络，其中每笔交易都经过多个节点加密和验证。当交易被添加到网络中时，加密散列被用来通过使用计算能力来保护整个网络并确保数据完整性，从而使交易在事后无法更改。

The company said that its platform currently serves more than 200,000 active users and manages more than 20,000 bitcoins for them. The company’s vision is to transform bitcoin from mere “digital gold,” and allow it to become a liquid financial instrument that can be used efficiently as part of a financial system.

该公司表示，其平台目前为超过20万活跃用户提供服务，并为他们管理超过2万个比特币。该公司的愿景是将比特币从单纯的“数字黄金”转变为一种流动性金融工具，可以作为金融系统的一部分有效使用。

Examples of other stablecoins in the cryptocurrency industry include Tether, USD Coin and DAI. Tether, USDT, is the largest stablecoin by market cap at $128.9 billion. Stablecoins are useful to the cryptocurrency industry because their lack of volatility provides an easy way to move money between currency exchanges and to buy goods and services.

加密货币行业中其他稳定币的例子包括 Tether、USD Coin 和 DAI。 Tether（USDT）是市值最大的稳定币，达 1289 亿美元。稳定币对加密货币行业很有用，因为它们缺乏波动性，提供了一种在货币交易所之间转移资金以及购买商品和服务的简单方法。

PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) launched its own stablecoin, PayPal USD, in 2023 issued by Paxos Trust Co. LLC, also pegged to USD. Cryptocurrencies have been around for over a decade, heavily popularized by the existence of bitcoin, which emerged in 2009. The value of BTC recently crossed $100,000 this month for the first time in history, bringing renewed attention to the cryptocurrency.

PayPal Holdings Inc.（纳斯达克股票代码：PYPL）于 2023 年推出了自己的稳定币 PayPal USD，由 Paxos Trust Co. LLC 发行，也与美元挂钩。加密货币已经存在了十多年，并因 2009 年出现的比特币而大受欢迎。本月 BTC 的价值历史上首次突破 10 万美元，重新引起了人们对加密货币的关注。

In addition to its stablecoin, Avalon offers services for bitcoin-backed loans, yield generating savings accounts and credit cards.

除了稳定币之外，Avalon 还提供比特币支持的贷款、产生收益的储蓄账户和信用卡服务。
