USDC Stablecoin的发行人Circle牢牢否认了报告，表明它正在进行有关潜在销售的非正式讨论

Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has firmly denied reports suggesting it is engaged in informal discussions with either US-based crypto exchange Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) or blockchain payment company Ripple (NYSE:PYPL) regarding a potential sale of the company.

USDC Stablecoin的发行人Circle坚决否认报告表明，该报告表明，它正在与总部位于美国的Crypto Exchange Coinbase（NASDAQ：COIN）或区块链支付公司Ripple（NYSE：PYPL）进行有关公司潜在出售公司的潜在销售的非正式讨论。

This denial comes in light of a report by PYMNTS, which highlighted that Circle is currently focused on completing its initial public offering (IPO), which it initially disclosed in April.

这一否认是根据PYMNTS的一份报告，该报告强调了该Circle目前专注于完成其首次公开募股（IPO），该产品最初于4月份披露。

Circle Focuses On IPO Despite Ongoing Acquisition Interest

尽管持续收购权益，圈子仍专注于IPO

A spokesperson for Circle confirmed to the news outlet that the company is not for sale and that its long-term goals remain the same. This statement follows claims made by Seeking Alpha, which referenced a paywalled article from Fortune.

Circle的发言人向新闻媒体证实，该公司不出售，并且其长期目标保持不变。该声明遵循寻求Alpha提出的主张，Alpha提到了《财富》中的有偿文章。

The report by Fortune, written by Jane Street's Manuel Alvarez, Jr., stated that people familiar with the matter said Coinbase and Ripple were among the companies that approached Circle in recent months about a potential acquisition. However, according to the report, executives at Circle were interested in an IPO valuation of at least $5 billion.

Jane Street的小曼努埃尔·阿尔瓦雷斯（Manuel Alvarez，Jr。）撰写的《财富》（Fortune）的报告说，熟悉此事的人们表示，Coinbase和Ripple是近几个月来有关潜在收购的Circle的公司之一。但是，根据报告，Circle的高管对IPO估值至少50亿美元感兴趣。

Earlier reports had indicated that Circle rejected a takeover bid from Ripple, which was in the range of $4 billion to $5 billion, as the cryptocurrency firm's executives deemed the offer too low. While Ripple is still interested in acquiring Circle and may make a new offer, Circle is pressing ahead with its IPO plans.

较早的报道表明，Circle拒绝了Ripple的收购竞标，该竞标在40亿美元至50亿美元之间，因为加密货币公司的高管认为该提议过低。尽管Ripple仍然有兴趣获取Circle，并且可能会提出新的报价，但Circle迫在眉睫。

Circle’s IPO plans have seen a resurgence following a previous delay in December 2022. The company announced on April 1 that it had engaged investment banks to underwrite the IPO, although the exact timing for the public offering has yet to be determined.

Circle的IPO计划在2022年12月的先前延误之后宣布，该公司于4月1日宣布，该公司已聘请投资银行承销IPO，尽管公开发行的确切时机尚未确定。

This move follows a period of megadeals in the cryptocurrency sector, largely driven by a crypto-friendly administration under President Donald Trump, which relaxed regulations in the US.

此举是在加密货币领域的一段时期的一段时间，这在很大程度上是由唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统领导下的加密货币友好政府驱动的，该政府在美国放松了法规。

Coinbase, on the other hand, is aiming to strengthen its position in the global derivatives market with the pending acquisition of Dubai-based crypto derivatives exchange Deribit for $2.9 billion, which is expected to close in the second half of 2024.

另一方面，Coinbase的目标是通过以待收购为基于迪拜的加密衍生物Exchange Deribit以29亿美元的价格收购全球衍生品市场的地位，预计将在2024年下半年关闭。

Earlier this year, on January 21, the company announced its acquisition of Hashnote, the issuer of the USYC stablecoin, which is incubated by Cumberland Labs, the largest tokenized treasury and money market fund worldwide.

除了其IPO努力外，Circle还一直在追求战略收购。今年早些时候，该公司于1月21日宣布收购Hashnote，Hashnote是USYC Stablecoin的发行人，该公司由坎伯兰实验室（Cumberland Labs）孵化，坎伯兰实验室（Cumberland Labs）是全球最大的标志性财政部和货币市场基金。
