Hermetica Labs 完成了 USDh 的 170 萬美元種子輪融資，USDh 是第一個由比特幣支持、產生收益的合成美元

新資金將用於推動 USDh 的成長，USDh 是透過 Runes 在比特幣第 1 層 (L1) 上本地發行，並透過 Stacks 在第 2 層 (L2) 上本地發行。

Fintech platform Hermetica, the creator of USDh, a Bitcoin (BTC)-backed synthetic dollar that generates yield, has raised $1.7 million in seed funding, Finbold learned on October 16 from a statement shared with the press.

Finbold 於10 月16 日從與媒體分享的聲明中獲悉，金融科技平台Hermetica 是USDh 的創建者，USDh 是一種由比特幣(BTC) 支持的可產生收益的合成美元，已籌集170 萬美元的種子資金。

The funding round was led by UTXO Management and included participation from CMS Holdings, Ethos Fund, Trust Machines SPV, Newman Capital, and Silvermine.

此輪融資由 UTXO Management 領投，CMS Holdings、Ethos Fund、Trust Machines SPV、Newman Capital 和 Silvermine 參與其中。

High-profile angel investors in the round included Tycho Onnasch (Zest Protocol), Robin Obermaier (Liquidium), Mithil Thakore (Velar), Matt Maduno (Arch Network), and GM Chung (DeSpread).

The new funds will be used to drive the growth of USDh, which is being issued natively on Bitcoin Layer-1 (L1) via Runes and Layer-2 (L2) through Stacks.

新資金將用於推動 USDh 的成長，USDh 透過 Runes 在比特幣第 1 層 (L1) 上本地發行，並透過 Stacks 在第 2 層 (L2) 上本地發行。

Available on decentralized exchanges (DEX), USDh taps into the flourishing stablecoin market, which has seen over 100% growth year-over-year, reaching more than $160 billion and accounting for half of all on-chain transactions.

USDh 可在去中心化交易所 (DEX) 上使用，進入蓬勃發展的穩定幣市場，該市場同比增長超過 100%，達到超過 1600 億美元，佔所有鏈上交易的一半。

Despite an impressive $1.3-trillion market cap, less than 1% of BTC is used in decentralized finance (DeFi), leaving a $1 trillion market for USDh holders to explore.

儘管市值達到令人印象深刻的 1.3 兆美元，但只有不到 1% 的 BTC 用於去中心化金融（DeFi），這為 USDh 持有者留下了 1 兆美元的市場有待探索。

By creating a stable, liquid dollar asset that can be redeemed for BTC, Hermetica aims to provide BTC holders with a way of holding dollars within the ecosystem securely.

透過創建可兌換 BTC 的穩定、流動性美元資產，Hermetica 旨在為 BTC 持有者提供一種在生態系統內安全持有美元的方式。

Hermetica Labs CEO Jakob Schillinger said that stablecoins are at the heart of DeFi systems, adding that “USDh is the ideal Bitcoin-backed stablecoin — capital efficient, independent of the fiat system, and yield-generating.”

Hermetica Labs 執行長 Jakob Schillinger 表示，穩定幣是 DeFi 系統的核心，並補充道，“USDh 是理想的比特幣支持的穩定幣——資本效率高，獨立於法定係統，並且能產生收益。”

The Managing Partner at Ethos Fund, Simon Shin, said: “We are excited about Hermetica because they are unlocking significant value within the Bitcoin ecosystem with the creation of USDh. We believe their ability to seamlessly integrate stablecoins into Bitcoin’s Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks presents a massive opportunity. USD will become a fundamental tool for Bitcoin users seeking a reliable dollar asset without leaving the ecosystem.”

Ethos Fund 的執行合夥人 Simon Shin 表示：「我們對 Hermetica 感到興奮，因為他們透過創建 USDh 來釋放比特幣生態系統中的巨大價值。我們相信他們將穩定幣無縫整合到比特幣第一層和第二層網路的能力提供了巨大的機會。美元將成為比特幣用戶在不離開生態系統的情況下尋求可靠美元資產的基本工具。

The seed funding will help speed up USDh integration across the BTC ecosystem, leading to improved liquidity, institutional custodial partnerships, and scalable off-exchange settlement options.

種子資金將有助於加快 USDh 在 BTC 生態系統中的整合，從而改善流動性、機構託管合作夥伴關係和可擴展的場外結算選項。

In other words, Hermetica aims to offer a decentralized, secure alternative to fiat-backed stablecoins by using Bitcoin’s core strengths.

換句話說，Hermetica 的目標是利用比特幣的核心優勢，為法幣支持的穩定幣提供一種去中心化、安全的替代方案。
