如前所述，Ripple正在考虑购买Stablecoin公司Circle。

这家总部位于旧金山的金融科技公司提出了50亿美元（77.5亿澳元）的收购要约，这被拒绝了。

As reported previously, fintech company Ripple made a US$5 billion takeover bid for stablecoin firm Circle, but the San Francisco-based company rejected the offer.

如前所述，金融科技公司的Ripple向Stablecoin circle提出了50亿美元的收购，但总部位于旧金山的公司拒绝了这一提议。

Now, rumors have swirled that Ripple made a second, much more generous offer of US$20 billion.

现在，有传言称Ripple提出了200亿美元的第二次，更慷慨的报价。

However, according to a report by Fortune, it may not come to that. The magazine cited sources who claim that Circle is considering selling itself to either Ripple or crypto exchange Coinbase.

但是，根据《财富》的一份报告，可能不会。该杂志引用了消息来源，他们声称Circle正在考虑将自己出售给Ripple或Crypto Exchange Coinbase。

People who asked to remain anonymous say Circle is looking for at least US$5 billion. Fortune quotes one person saying that Circle would be more than happy to sell to Coinbase.

要求保持匿名的人说Circle正在寻找至少50亿美元。 《财富》引用一个人说，圈子很乐意卖给Coinbase。

Another person said that “things change week by week”, although this doesn’t tell us much, it shows that the situation remains fluid.

另一个人说：“事物一周会改变”，尽管这并不能告诉我们太多，但这表明情况仍然是流畅的。

According to Fortune, Circle told the magazine that the company is “not for sale” and that its “long-term goals remain the same”. Meaning the IPO should still go ahead as planned.

据《财富》报道，Circle告诉该杂志，该公司“不出售”，其“长期目标保持不变”。这意味着IPO仍应按计划进行。

USDC, the stablecoin issued by Circle, is the second largest stablecoin with a market cap of US$60 billion and a 24-hour volume of US$13 billion. For comparison, Tether (USDT) has a market cap of US$305 billion and a 24-hour volume of US$93 billion.

USDC是Circle发行的Stablecoin，是第二大Stablecoin，市值为600亿美元，销量为24小时130亿美元。为了进行比较，Tether（USDT）的市值为3050亿美元，数量为24小时，为930亿美元。

Ripple has its own stablecoin, RLUSD, but it is far behind in market cap (US$312 million; AU$483 million) and daily volume (US$313 million; AU$485 million).

Ripple拥有自己的Stablecoin RLUSD，但远远落后于市值（3.12亿美元； AU 4.83亿美元）和每日销量（3.13亿美元； AU 4.85亿美元）。

If Ripple were to acquire Circle, analysts have suggested that XRP could benefit greatly. All Things XRP said on Crypto Twitter that Ripple is committed to “dominate payments, own stablecoin rails, and make XRP the default bridge”.

如果波纹为获得圆圈，分析师建议XRP可以大大受益。 XRP在Crypto Twitter上说，Ripple致力于“主导付款，拥有Stablecoin Rails，并使XRP成为默认桥”。

Ripple acquired prime-brokerage Hidden Road at US$1.25 billion in April. The company also just rolled out its cross-border payments platform in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in cooperation with Zand Bank and Mamo.

Ripple在4月以12.5亿美元的价格收购了Prime Brokerage Hidden Road。该公司还与Zand Bank和Mamo合作，在阿拉伯联合酋长国（UAE）推出了其跨境支付平台。

It remains to be seen if Coinbase or Ripple gets to seal the deal; it would be bullish for either company and for the entire crypto sector.

Coinbase或Ripple是否可以达成交易还有待观察。对于任何一家公司和整个加密货币领域来说，这都是看好的。

Coinbase and Circle co-founded the Centre Consortium in 2018 to issue the USDC stablecoin; when that venture ended in 2023, Coinbase received an equity stake in Circle and Circle took over sole governance of USDC.

Coinbase和Circle于2018年共同创立了该中心财团，颁发了USDC Stablecoin；当该冒险在2023年结束时，Coinbase获得了Circle的股权，Circle接管了USDC的唯一治理。
