据报道，Ripple Labs提出要收购竞争对手Stablecoin提供商Circle Internet Group，估计为40亿至50亿美元

但是，这种初始出价被Circle拒绝了，因为太低了。亚历克斯·史密斯（Alex Smith）。 2023年4月18日上午1:13更新了PDT。

According to a Bloomberg report, financial firm Ripple Labs is reportedly interested in acquiring stablecoin and industrial payment firm Circle Internet Group for an estimated $4 billion to $5 billion.

根据彭博社的一份报告，据报道，金融公司Ripple Labs有兴趣收购Stablecoin和工业支付公司Circle Internet Group，估计为40亿美元至50亿美元。

This initial bid was reportedly rejected by Circle as being too low.

据报道，这一最初的竞标被Circle拒绝了，因为它太低了。

A spokesperson for Circle responded to inquiries about the potential acquisition by stating that they do not comment on market rumors.

Circle的发言人回应了有关潜在收购的询问，并指出他们没有对市场谣言发表评论。

They added that further details about their corporate financial plans would not be disclosed due to the ongoing “quiet period” with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, Circle’s long-term goals remain unchanged.

他们补充说，由于与美国证券交易委员会（SEC）持续的“安静期”，因此不会披露有关其公司财务计划的更多详细信息。但是，Circle的长期目标保持不变。

This interest from Ripple arises following its recent move to acquire Hidden Road, a multi-asset prime brokerage firm, for $1.25 billion. This strategic move is aimed at boosting Ripple’s capabilities in the stablecoin market, which has been gaining momentum amid rising demand for digital assets that maintain a stable value.

在最近搬家以12.5亿美元的价格收购了一家多资产总经理公司Hidden Road（一家多资产总经理公司）之后，这种利益引起了这种兴趣。这一战略举动旨在促进Stablecoin市场中Ripple的能力，该市场在维持稳定价值的数字资产需求上不断增长，该市场一直在增强势头。

On the other hand, Circle, known for issuing the USDC stablecoin, has experienced fluctuations in its market valuation. Last year, Circle was reportedly valued between $5 billion and $5.25 billion in secondary market trades. This figure is down from the $9 billion valuation achieved in early 2022 during an unsuccessful attempt to go public via a SPAC merger with Concord Acquisition Corp.

另一方面，以发行USDC Stablecoin而闻名的Circle在其市场估值中经历了波动。据报道，去年，圈子的二级市场交易价值在50亿至52.5亿美元之间。这一数字与2022年初在与Concord Accelisition Corp的SPAC合并中公开的未成功尝试中获得的90亿美元估值下降。

Recently, Circle filed an S-1 registration statement with the SEC as it prepares for a long-awaited initial public offering (IPO). The company is aiming to achieve a valuation of $4 billion to $5 billion through this public offering, which is expected to be filed by the end of April.

最近，Circle在为期待已久的首次公开募股（IPO）准备时，向SEC提交了S-1注册声明。该公司的目标是通过这项公开发行实现40亿至50亿美元的估值，预计将于4月底提交。

While the exact timing of the IPO remains uncertain, companies that file for an IPO generally begin trading shares about four weeks later, although some may remain in registration for months.

尽管IPO的确切时机仍然不确定，但提交IPO的公司通常在四个星期后开始交易股票，尽管有些公司可能会在注册中持续数月。

This marks Circle’s second attempt to go public. The company previously announced plans for a SPAC merger in 2021, but regulatory issues arose when the SEC did not approve the proposed deal, leading to multiple extensions.

这标志着Circle的第二次公开尝试。该公司此前宣布了2021年的SPAC合并计划，但是当SEC不批准拟议交易时，就出现了监管问题，导致多次扩展。

If successful, Circle’s IPO could represent the largest cryptocurrency-related public offering since Coinbase went public in 2021 through a direct listing. Financial giants JPMorgan and Citi served as advisors during Coinbase’s IPO process.

如果成功的话，Circle的IPO可以代表自2021年通过直接上市公开发行以来，Circle的IPO代表与加密货币相关的最大公共产品。金融巨头摩根大通和花旗在Coinbase的IPO流程中担任顾问。

The current political landscape may also favor Circle’s ambitions. Recent advancements in stablecoin legislation in Congress could provide a bullish signal for the company. The Senate Banking Committee has moved forward with a bill, and the House of Representatives is expected to vote on its version soon.

当前的政治景观也可能有利于Circle的野心。国会稳定立法的最新进展可能会为公司提供看涨信号。参议院银行委员会已提出一项法案，预计众议院将很快对其版本进行投票。

Moreover, pro-crypto sentiment from President Donald Trump, who has expressed a desire to sign stablecoin legislation by August, suggests potential regulatory support for the industry.

此外，总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的亲克赖特（Crypto）情绪表示愿意在8月之前签署Stablecoin立法，这表明对该行业的潜在监管支持。
