Circle否认它是在Ripple的100亿美元收购谣言中的“不出售”

Stablecoin发行人Circle最近否认有报道称它正在与Coinbase或Ripple进行谈判，以进行可能的销售。

Stablecoin issuer Circle has recently denied reports that it is in talks with Coinbase or Ripple for a possible sale.

Stablecoin发行人Circle最近否认有报道称它正在与Coinbase或Ripple进行谈判，以进行可能的销售。

“Circle is not for sale. Our long-term goals remain the same: to build the best performing digital currency in the world and the leading open financial technology network,” the company said in a statement to Blockworks.

该公司在Blockworks的一份声明中说：“ Circle不出售。我们的长期目标是相同的：建立世界上最佳性能的数字货币和领先的开放金融技术网络。”

This comes as Circle is gearing up for its IPO, aiming for a valuation of at least $5 billion. Earlier, Circle reportedly turned down a $4–5 billion offer from Ripple.

这是因为Circle正准备进行IPO，旨在至少50亿美元的估值。早些时候，据报道，Circle拒绝了Ripple的4-5亿美元报价。

While there are rumors that Ripple may have raised its bid to around $11 billion, Circle appears to be focused on going public. The company had filed paperwork for a possible IPO early April and had hired investment banks to help with its plans. However, the timing of the IPO is not yet confirmed.

尽管有传言称Ripple可能已将其出价提高到110亿美元，但Circle似乎专注于公开场合。该公司已向4月初可能的IPO提交了文书工作，并雇用了投资银行来帮助其计划。但是，IPO的时间尚未确认。

In January, Circle had mentioned that it was reconsidering going public after it had delayed a planned IPO in December.

1月，Circle提到，在12月推迟了计划的IPO之后，它正在重新考虑公开。

At the time, the company stated that it was holding off on the IPO due to unfavorable market conditions.

当时，该公司表示，由于市场条件不利，它正在上次公开募股。

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently weighed in on the idea of Ripple buying Circle, saying it could improve the crypto space.

Cardano创始人查尔斯·霍斯金森（Charles Hoskinson）最近对Ripple购买Circle的想法进行了权衡，称它可以改善加密货币空间。

“There’s this Coinbase-A16Z-Circle mafia where they’ve built an ecosystem that’s self-serving. If you’re outside it, you get blacklisted — it’s hard to get listed, hard to get liquidity, and hard to access stablecoins,” Hoskinson said.

霍斯金森说：“有一个共同的coinbase-a16z-circle黑手党在那里建立了一个自私的生态系统。如果您在外面，您将被列入黑名单 - 很难被列出，很难获得流动性，并且很难获得Stablecoins。”

He added that if Ripple were to get involved in the stablecoin business, it could break the monopoly and make way for newer, more diverse projects.

他补充说，如果Ripple是要参与Stablecoin业务，它可能会破坏垄断，并为更新，更多样化的项目留路。

On the other side, Coinbase and Circle have deep ties: they co-created USDC, share revenue from its reserves, and Coinbase even owns a stake in Circle. Coinbase gets 100% of USDC earnings if funds are held on its platform.

另一方面，Coinbase和Circle具有深厚的联系：他们共同创建了USDC，从其储备中分享收入，Coinbase甚至拥有Circle的股份。如果在其平台上持有资金，Coinbase将获得100％的USDC收益。

Also, Circle cannot enter new USDC-related partnerships without Coinbase’s approval, and Coinbase gets partial IP rights if Circle goes bankrupt. With so much control and shared profit already in place, many see Coinbase as the most likely buyer.

此外，未经Coinbase的批准，Circle将无法进入与USDC相关的新合作伙伴关系，如果Circle破产，Coinbase将获得部分IP权利。由于已经有如此多的控制权和共享利润，许多人将Coinbase视为最有可能的买家。

However, since Circle has now clarified that it is not for sale and has set its sights on an IPO, only time will tell what happens next.

但是，由于Circle现在已经澄清了它不是出售的，并且已经将目光投向了IPO，因此只有时间才能说明接下来会发生什么。

The IPO market recently got a boost when eToro, the online trading platform, jumped 29% on its first day, raising $620 million at $52 per share. eToro’s strong debut may encourage Circle to move forward with its IPO plans.

当在线交易平台Etoro在第一天增长29％时，IPO市场最近得到了推动，筹集了62.2亿美元，每股52美元。埃托罗（Etoro）的出色首次亮相可能会鼓励Circle推进其IPO计划。

But some investors believe that it often takes time to judge how new public companies will perform in the long run.

但是一些投资者认为，从长远来看，判断新的上市公司的表现通常需要花费时间。
