USDC背後的公司Circle已正式申請IPO

USDC背後的公司Circle已正式申請IPO，旨在在紐約證券交易所列出CRCL的紐約證券交易所。

Circle, the company behind the second-largest dollar-linked cryptocurrency, USD Coin, on Wednesday filed for an initial public offering (IPO), aiming for a listing on the New York Stock Exchange.

Circle是第二大與美元的加密貨幣背後的公司，週三申請了首次公開募股（IPO），目的是在紐約證券交易所上市。

The company, which also offers crypto-based financial services, is planning to sell shares in a range that would value Circle at up to $5 billion, according to the company's filing. It is targeting the ticker symbol CRCL.

該公司的文件顯示，該公司還提供基於加密貨幣的金融服務，計劃在該公司的文件中出售股票，該股票的價值高達50億美元。它針對股票符號CRCL。

JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup are the lead underwriters for the IPO.

摩根大通（JPMorgan Chase）和花旗集團（Citigroup）是IPO的主要承銷商。

Circle had previously pursued a SPAC merger with‌لارو في عام 2022, but that deal ultimately fell apart due to difficulties in obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals by the set deadline.

Circle此前曾與2022年進行了與‌室合併的SPAC合併，但由於在設定的截止日期獲得必要的監管批准時，該協議最終崩潰了。

The move comes as several crypto firms have sought to go public through SPAC mergers or direct listings in 2021 and 2022.

此舉是因為幾家加密公司試圖通過SPAC合併或2022年的直接列表公開。

Circle's IPO would make it one of the largest crypto firms to list in the U.S. After a turbulent year for the digital asset industry, several crypto firms have faced difficulties in the markets.

Circle的IPO將使它成為數字資產行業動盪不安的一年後，在美國列出的最大的加密公司之一，幾家加密貨幣公司在市場上面臨困難。

Earlier this year, reports indicated that Circle was aiming for a lower IPO valuation than the $6 billion to $7 billion valuation it had targeted during prior SPAC merger discussions in 2022.

今年早些時候，報告表明，Circle的目標是高於2022年先前SPAC合併討論期間的60億至70億美元估值的IPO估值。

The company's revenue for 2024 is $1.68 billion, which is higher than the previous year's revenue of $1.5 billion. However, its net income is $156 million, which is lower than the prior year's net income of $268 million in 2023.

該公司2024年的收入為16.8億美元，高於上一年的15億美元收入。但是，其淨收入為1.56億美元，低於前一年的淨收入，2.68億美元。

Circle is best known for USD Coin (USDC), which is the second-largest stablecoin, a type of cryptocurrency that aims to maintain a stable price, typically linked to a fiat currency. USDC currently has about $60 billion in circulation.

Circle以USD Coin（USDC）而聞名，後者是第二大穩定幣，這是一種加密貨幣，旨在保持穩定的價格，通常與法定貨幣有關。 USDC目前有大約600億美元的發行量。

The growing stablecoin market is a significant factor in Circle's decision to go public. It also highlights the increasing role of cryptocurrency companies in traditional financial markets.

不斷增長的Stablecoin市場是Circle決定公開的重要因素。它還強調了加密貨幣公司在傳統金融市場中的越來越多的作用。

Stablecoin legislation in the United States is expected to be passed later this year, and it is likely to propel the market even further. Circle's IPO may disrupt the crypto exchange market, especially with the cooperation of Coinbase in splitting the USDC revenue.

預計美國的Stablecoin立法將在今年晚些時候通過，它可能會進一步推動市場。 Circle的IPO可能會破壞加密交易所市場，尤其是在Coinbase分解USDC收入方面的合作。

As stablecoins become more deeply involved in crypto trading activities, Circle's IPO could be a landmark event for the industry.

隨著Stablecoins越來越深入地參與加密交易活動，Circle的IPO可能是該行業的地標活動。
