提交IPO之前，Circle探索了出售给Coinbase或Ripple

位于纽约的第二大稳定币的发行人参加了非正式会谈，以寻求至少50亿美元的潜在销售

Stablecoin issuer Circle, which filed for an initial public offering (IPO) last month, has also explored the alternative of a sale to crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) or payments company Ripple, according to a Monday report by Fortune.

据《财富》（Fortune）的周一报告，上个月为首次公开募股（IPO）申请的Stablecoin发行人圈子还探索了向Crypto Exchange Coinbase（Coin）或Payments Company Ripple出售的选择。

The New York-based issuer of USDC, the second-largest stablecoin, took part in informal talks over a potential sale from which it was seeking at least $5 billion, Fortune reported, citing people who asked not to be identified.

据《财富》报道，总部位于纽约USDC的发行人是第二大Stablecoin，他就可能从中寻求至少50亿美元的潜在销售进行了非正式会谈。

This figure would be line with the company's valuation by investment banks JPMorgan and Citi, which Circle had hired to help with the IPO.

这个数字将与投资银行JPMorgan和Citi的公司估值一致，Circle曾雇用了为IPO提供帮助。

Coinbase holds a minority share in Circle, and the two companies share revenue from USDC's reserve interest income. Ripple recently debuted its own stablecoin, RLUSD. An offer by Ripple to buy Circle was rejected, Bloomberg reported last month.

Coinbase在圈子中拥有少数股份，两家公司从USDC的储备金收入中享有收入。 Ripple最近首次亮相了自己的Stablecoin Rlusd。彭博（Bloomberg）上个月报道说，Ripple要购买圈子的报价被拒绝。

Circle said in an emailed statement that it "is not for sale," and remains committed to going public, Fortune said. The company aborted a previous attempt at going public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger in 2021.

Fortune说，Circle在一封电子邮件声明中说，它“不出售”，并且仍致力于公开公开。该公司在2021年通过特殊目的收购公司（SPAC）合并中止了以前的尝试。
