圓圈升級其跨鏈轉移協議（CCTP）以縮短定居時間

輸入：USDC的發行人Circle啟動了對其跨鏈轉移協議（CCTP）的升級，該協議將將和解時間從幾分鐘減少到僅幾秒鐘。

Circle, the issuer of USDCoin (USDC), has launched an upgrade of its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) that will slash settlement times from minutes to just seconds.

USDCOIN（USDC）的發行人Circle啟動了其跨鏈轉移協議（CCTP）的升級，該協議將將和解時間從幾分鐘縮小到僅幾秒鐘。

The newly introduced CCTP V2 builds on its predecessor with updated smart contracts and APIs, reducing the average 13-19 minute settlement time between Ethereum and Layer 2 blockchains to nearly instant transactions.

新引入的CCTP V2通過更新的智能合約和API建立在其前身，將以太坊和第2層區塊鏈之間的平均13-19分鐘結算時間縮短為幾乎即時交易。

“CCTP V2 removes barriers that have slowed the movement of digital dollars across supported blockchains,” said Nikhil Chandhok, Circle’s chief product officer, in a statement. The update also gives developers more control over cross-chain transactions and simplify what has often been a complex process.

Circle首席產品官Nikhil Chandhok在一份聲明中說：“ CCTP V2消除了障礙，這些障礙減慢了數字資金在受支持的區塊鏈之間的移動。”該更新還為開發人員提供了對跨鏈交易的更多控制權，並簡化了通常是一個複雜過程的內容。

With $58 billion in circulation, USDC is the second-largest stablecoin, lagging behind Tether’s USDT with $142 billion. As the stablecoin market continues to grow, faster transactions could help Circle stay competitive.

USDC憑藉580億美元的流通，是第二大Stablecoin，落後於Tether的USDT，其1420億美元。隨著Stablecoin市場的不斷增長，更快的交易可以幫助Circle保持競爭力。

The upgrade will first be available on Avalanche, Base, and Ethereum, with more blockchains to be added over time. Meanwhile, CCTP V1 will remain active on 11 blockchains and has already processed over $36 billion in transfers since launching in 2023.

升級將首先在雪崩，基礎和以太坊上提供，隨著時間的推移，更多的區塊鏈要添加。同時，CCTP V1將在11個區塊鏈上保持活躍，自2023年推出以來，已經處理了超過360億美元的轉會。

One of the key additions in V2 is “Hooks,” a feature allowing developers to automate post-transfer actions on the destination blockchain to further streamline the process.

V2中的關鍵添加之一是“掛鉤”，這是一項功能，允許開發人員在目標區塊鏈上自動化轉移操作以進一步簡化該過程。

Earlier in February, Circle co-founder Jeremy Allaire stated that he believes stablecoin issuers worldwide should be required to register with US authorities, regardless of the country they operate in.

2月初，Circle聯合創始人Jeremy Allaire表示，他認為，無論他們在哪個國家 /地區，全球範圍內的Stablecoin發行人都必須在美國當局註冊。

In an interview with Blockworks, Allaire argued that firms issuing U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoins should not be allowed to bypass American regulations while still serving U.S. customers.

在接受Blockworks的採訪中，Allaire認為，發行美元穩定的公司的公司不應被繞過美國的法規，同時仍在為美國客戶提供服務。

However, major stablecoin issuers like Tether are facing mounting pressure as regulators worldwide move to clamp down on crypto firms.

但是，隨著全球監管機構逐步削減加密貨幣公司，像Tether這樣的主要Stablecoin發行人正面臨不斷增長的壓力。

Recently, the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations approved six stablecoin issuers whose tokens will be allowed in the region’s market. Tether was excluded from the list.

最近，歐盟的加密資產市場（MICA）法規批准了六個穩定的發行人，這些發行人將在該地區的市場中允許其代幣。繫繩被排除在列表之外。

Moreover, crypto exchange Kraken and Crypto.com are preparing to delist USDT and other non-compliant stablecoins from the European market in the coming months to comply with MiCA.

此外，Crypto Exchange Kraken和Crypto.com正在準備在接下來的幾個月中從歐洲市場上脫穎而出，以符合MICA。

As the issuer of USDC, the world’s second-largest stablecoin, Circle stands to benefit from any regulatory clarity that allows financial institutions to integrate digital assets more freely. Pegged to the U.S. dollar, USDC is currently ranked as the eighth-largest cryptocurrency by market value.

作為全球第二大的Stablecoin USDC的發行人，Circle將受益於任何法規清晰度，該清晰度允許金融機構更加自由地整合數字資產。 USDC與美元固定為美元，目前按市場價值排名為第八大加密貨幣。

Circle’s valuation reached $9 billion in 2022 when it attempted to go public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) deal with Concord Acquisition Corp. However, the proposed merger was mutually terminated in December 2022 due to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) delayed approval and the fallout from the FTX collapse and subsequent crypto winter.

Circle的估值在2022年試圖通過與Concord Acceliention Corp的特殊目的收購公司（SPAC）進行公開率達到90億美元。但是，由於美國證券交易委員會（SEC）的批准，並從FTX Collapse and後續Crypto Winter造成了美國證券交易委員會（SEC）延遲批准，並於2022年12月終止了擬議的合併。
