雙子座為IPO做準備

由Cameron和Tyler Winklevoss創立的Cryptocurrency Exchange和Custodian Gemini已秘密地申請了美國首次公開募股（IPO）。

Cryptocurrency exchange and custodian Gemini, founded by billionaires Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has confidentially filed for an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States, the sources said on Thursday.

消息人士周四表示，由Cameron和Tyler Winklevoss創立的Cryptocurrency Exchange和Custodian Gemini已秘密地申請了美國首次公開募股（IPO）。

Gemini has hired major investment banks Goldman Sachs and Citigroup to underwrite the IPO, which could value the exchange at around $10 billion, one of the sources said. The company is aiming to raise up to $1 billion from the offering, the source added.

一位消息人士稱，雙子座已聘請主要投資銀行高盛（Goldman Sachs）和花旗集團（Citigroup）承銷IPO，這可能將交易所估計約為100億美元。消息人士補充說，該公司的目標是從發行中籌集高達10億美元。

The final decision on going public will rest with Gemini, and the IPO could take place as early as this year if market conditions permit. The move signals the company's serious intentions to strengthen its presence in traditional financial markets.

關於公開公開的最終決定將取決於雙子座，如果市場條件允許，IPO可能會在今年最早進行。此舉標誌著公司的嚴重意圖，以加強其在傳統金融市場中的業務。

"We are grateful for the opportunity to serve the digital asset community and can confirm that we have confidentially submitted a draft registration statement for the proposed offering of common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission," a Gemini spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

Gemini發言人在電子郵件聲明中說：“我們很高興有機會為數字資產社區服務，並可以確認我們已經秘密地提交了一份註冊聲明，以向美國證券交易委員會提議的普通股提交。”

The IPO plans follow a string of legal successes for Gemini. On Monday, the SEC closed its investigation into the exchange without taking any action. The company also settled a dispute with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in January, agreeing to pay a $5 million penalty to settle an investigation into alleged breaches of futures trading rules.

IPO計劃遵循雙子座的一系列法律成功。週一，美國證券交易委員會（SEC）在沒有採取任何行動的情況下關閉了對交易所的調查。該公司還於1月份解決了與商品期貨交易委員會（CFTC）的糾紛，同意支付500萬美元的罰款，以解決涉嫌違反期貨貿易規則的調查。

Gemini is among several cryptocurrency companies that are planning to go public in the coming months. Coinbase Global Trust (COIN.O) went public last year via a direct listing.

雙子座是計劃在未來幾個月內公開公開的幾家加密貨幣公司之一。 Coinbase Global Trust（Coin.O）去年通過直接上市公開。

The co-founder of cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox and Ripple Jed McCaleb plans to send his company Vast Space's Haven-1 commercial space station into orbit and win a U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) contract in 2026, the company said on Thursday.

該公司週四表示，加密貨幣交易所的聯合創始人Gox和Ripple Jed McCaleb計劃於2026年將其公司廣闊的Space的Haven-1商業空間站送入Orbit，並贏得了美國國家航空航天局（NASA）合同。

McCaleb is the sole sponsor of the project and is funding the creation of the station and its launch into Earth orbit. If the startup succeeds, Vast will have a better chance of winning a contract with NASA to replace the International Space Station (ISS). Such contracts are expected to be awarded in mid-2026.

麥卡萊布（McCaleb）是該項目的唯一贊助商，正在為車站的創建及其發射到地球軌道提供資金。如果這家初創公司成功，那麼VAST將有更大的機會贏得與NASA取代國際空間站（ISS）的合同。這些合同預計將在2026年中獲得。

If Vast fails or the NASA contract goes away in favor of a competitor such as Axiom Space or Blue Origin, a company founded by Jeff Bezos, McCaleb could lose $1 billion and the future of his company would be in doubt, the report said.

報告稱，如果大型失敗或NASA合同消失了，而轉而支持諸如Axiom Space或Blue Origin之類的競爭對手，那麼傑夫·貝佐斯（Jeff Bezos）創立的一家公司可能會損失10億美元，而他的公司的未來將受到質疑。

"It's very important that people make that leap from where we are today to this potential world that has a lot of people living off Earth. There aren't many people who are willing to devote as many resources, time and be willing to take the risk as I am," said McCaleb.

麥卡萊布說：“人們必須從今天的位置到這個潛在的世界，這些世界有很多人生活在地球上。沒有多少人願意投入盡可能多的資源，時間和願意冒險。”

Vast is working closely with Elon Musk's SpaceX, which is urging the U.S. to accelerate the decommissioning of the ISS (expected to be completed by the end of 2030). Vast, founded in 2021, will partially assemble its craft from components developed by SpaceX, specifically a docking adapter to connect SpaceX's Dragon capsule to the Vast station and a space-based internet system that will provide Wi-Fi to the station via Starlink.

VAST與Elon Musk的SpaceX緊密合作，該SpaceX敦促美國加速ISS的退役（預計將在2030年底完成）。龐大的成立於2021年，將從SpaceX開發的組件中部分組裝其工藝，特別是將SpaceX的Dragon Capsule連接到龐大的車站的停靠適配器，以及將通過Starlink向車站提供Wi-Fi的巨大互聯網系統。

McCaleb's company has also already booked SpaceX flights to send equipment into orbit and crew to the space station, and SpaceX has agreed to deliver astronauts for Vast, provided NASA gives permission.

麥卡萊布（McCaleb）的公司還已經預訂了SpaceX航班，以將設備和機組人員送入空間站，而SpaceX已同意為巨大的宇航員提供宇航員，前提是NASA獲得許可。
