Circle探索在USDC Stablecoin发行人的IPO之前向Coinbase或Ripple Labs的销售

根据新报告，Circle是管理Stablecoin USDC的点对点付款技术公司，与Coinbase Global和Ripple Labs进行了非正式的谈判

The peer-to-peer payments technology firm managing the stablecoin USDC, Circle, is reportedly in informal talks with Coinbase Global and Ripple Labs over a possible long-term acquisition. This development arises as Circle prepares for its initial public offering (IPO).

据报道，管理Stablecoin USDC Circle的点对点支付技术公司正在与Coinbase Global和Ripple Labs进行非正式会谈，以进行长期收购。当Circle为首次公开募股（IPO）准备时，这一发展就会产生。

According to a report by Fortune, four banking and private equity executives, who preferred anonymity, stated that Circle is aiming for a minimum sale valuation of $5 billion, aligning with its IPO target.

根据《财富》的一份报告，偏爱匿名的四名银行和私募股权高管表示，Circle的目标是最低销售估值50亿美元，与其IPO目标保持一致。

"If an offer lands in their lap, Circle will likely 'sell in a heartbeat' to Coinbase," said one of the executives, highlighting the U.S. crypto exchange giant as a prime candidate for acquisition.

其中一位高管说：“如果要约在他们的腿上降落，圈子很可能会'卖给共同案件'。”

Another executive expressed optimism for the coming week, adding, "Things change week by week."

另一位高管表示对即将一周的乐观情绪，并补充说：“事情每周都会改变。”

The equity executives noted that Circle is still planning to go public, having filed in April to list its Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the "CRCL" symbol with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, the IPO terms are yet to be disclosed.

股本高管指出，圈子仍计划公开公开，并于4月份提交了在美国证券交易委员会（SEC）的“ CRCL”符号下，在4月份列出了其A类普通股。但是，IPO条款尚未披露。

While Ripple's bid to purchase Circle for around $4 billion to $5 billion was reportedly rejected in April, its balance sheet, boasting 4.5 billion XRP valued at $11.77 billion and $95.7 billion in funds held in escrow, makes it a strong contender.

据报道，据报道，波普尔（Ripple）在4月份拒绝了以40亿美元至50亿美元的价格购买Circle，但其资产负债表的拥有45亿XRP的价值为117.7亿美元，在埃斯克罗（Escrow）持有的资金为957亿美元，使其成为强大的竞争者。

On the other hand, Coinbase's longstanding partnership with Circle is no less significant. In 2018, Circle engaged Coinbase to launch a joint venture that led to the issuance of the USDC stablecoin, and later Coinbase took an equity stake in Circle.

另一方面，Coinbase与Circle的长期合作伙伴关系同样重要。 2018年，Circle聘请Coinbase开设了一家合资企业，导致了USDC Stablecoin的发行，后来Coinbase在Circle中获得了股权。

"They're [Circle] going public doesn't change anything about our commercial relationship, but in terms of other deals we might be able to do in the future, I mean, that, of course, would be up to them and us, but, you know, nothing to announce today." Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, responded to a question about potentially acquiring Circle during a May interview with Bloomberg.

“他们[圈子]公开并没有改变我们的商业关系，但是就我们将来可能会做的其他交易而言，我的意思是，当然，这将取决于他们和我们，但是，您知道今天没有什么可公告的。” Coinbase的首席执行官Brian Armstrong回答了一个问题，即可能在5月对彭博社的采访中获取圈子的问题。
