Circle 計劃加強其在東南亞的業務，香港的穩定幣路線圖將激勵該公司擬議的業務擴張

全球第二大穩定幣發行商USDC（USDC）擬在香港僱用更多員工並建立更多業務關係

Stablecoin giant Circle is set to ramp up its presence in Southeast Asia, as Hong Kong’s stablecoin roadmap is driving the firm’s planned business expansion.

穩定幣巨頭 Circle 將加強其在東南亞的業務，因為香港的穩定幣路線圖正在推動該公司計劃的業務擴張。

With Hong Kong emerging as a key market for stablecoins, Circle — the world’s second-largest stablecoin issuer behind Tether (USDT) with its USD Coin (USDC) — is planning to expand its team in Hong Kong and forge additional business partnerships in the region, local media reported on Nov. 4.

隨著香港逐漸成為穩定幣的主要市場，Circle 是僅次於Tether (USDT) 及其美元硬幣(USDC) 的全球第二大穩定幣發行商，正計劃擴大其在香港的團隊，並在該地區建立更多的業務夥伴關係當地媒體11月4日報道。

Circle’s operator is reportedly eyeing Hong Kong as a key market for stablecoins, a narrative that aligns with previous coverage by crypto.news, which highlighted Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire’s comments on Hong Kong’s upcoming stablecoin roadmap.

據報道，Circle 的營運商將香港視為穩定幣的主要市場，這一說法與crypto.news 之前的報導一致，其中強調了Circle 首席執行官傑里米·阿萊爾(Jeremy Allaire) 對香港即將推出的穩定幣路線圖的評論。

As reported by crypto.news, Allaire stated in late October that USDC and other stablecoins play a "critical" role in Hong Kong’s trading practices. These comments came in response to a consultation paper on a stablecoin regulatory framework, which was released by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) in July.

根據 crypto.news 報導，Allaire 在 10 月底表示，USDC 和其他穩定幣在香港的交易實踐中發揮著「關鍵」作用。這些評論是對香港金融管理局 (HKMA) 7 月發布的穩定幣監管框架諮詢文件的回應。

The HKMA is aiming to introduce clear regulations and standards for stablecoins in the region by 2025, integrating these fiat-pegged cryptocurrencies into the local financial system.

香港金管局的目標是到 2025 年為該地區的穩定幣引入明確的法規和標準，將這些與法定貨幣掛鉤的加密貨幣納入當地金融體系。

Even ahead of formal regulatory guidelines, stablecoins are already being rolled out by local firms, with First Digital Trust having gone live with its FDUSD token on Solana last month, in addition to existing support on BNB Chain and Ethereum.

即使在正式的監管指導方針之前，當地公司就已經推出了穩定幣，除了 BNB 鍊和以太坊的現有支援之外，First Digital Trust 上個月還在 Solana 上上線了 FDUSD 代幣。

Despite Hong Kong’s close ties to China, which is largely hostile toward cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), the special administrative region has become one of Asia’s leading crypto-friendly jurisdictions. Some experts view Hong Kong as an extension of China’s financial ecosystem, providing a space for crypto and other innovations.

儘管香港與中國關係密切，而且中國在很大程度上對比特幣（BTC）等加密貨幣懷有敵意，但香港特別行政區已成為亞洲領先的加密貨幣友好司法管轄區之一。一些專家將香港視為中國金融生態系統的延伸，為加密貨幣和其他創新提供了空間。

In other Circle-related updates, the USDC issuer recently published a whitepaper for its Confidential ERC-20 standard. The new token design is aimed at preserving user privacy while enhancing regulatory compliance at the smart contract level, according to the firm.

在其他與 Circle 相關的更新中，USDC 發行人最近發布了其機密 ERC-20 標準的白皮書。該公司表示，新的代幣設計旨在保護用戶隱私，同時增強智慧合約層面的監管合規性。

Circle also recently shifted its global headquarters to New York, with the stablecoin issuer reportedly planning to launch an initial public offering and list its shares on Wall Street.

Circle 最近也將其全球總部遷至紐約，據報道，穩定幣發行人計劃進行首次公開發行並在華爾街上市。
