重項目關閉了4000萬美元系列A融資，由Lightspeed領導

總部位於香港的加密付款平台Redotpay關閉了由Lightspeed領導的4000萬美元系列A融資，HSG和Galaxy Ventures的參與。

Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency payment platform RedotPay has reportedly closed a $40 million Series A funding round led by Lightspeed, with participation from HSG and Galaxy Ventures, Singapore-based vernacular e-commerce publication Today reports.

據報導，總部位於香港的加密貨幣支付平台Redotpay已關閉了由Lightspeed領導的4000萬美元的A系列資金回合，並從HSG和Galaxy Ventures參與，這是新加坡的Vernacular E-Commercey Publication。

The startup aims to facilitate the use of cryptocurrency in everyday transactions, simplifying blockchain transactions for spenders, similar to how they use fiat.

該創業公司旨在促進在日常交易中使用加密貨幣，簡化用於支出者的區塊鏈交易，類似於他們使用法定方式。

In November 2023, RedotPay launched its own physical Visa cards, which can be used for ATM cash withdrawals, along with a virtual card that supports digital payment services like Apple Pay and Google Pay.

2023年11月，RedOtpay推出了自己的實體簽證卡，可用於ATM現金提取，以及支持Apple Pay和Google Pay等數字支付服務的虛擬卡。

The company has been expanding its blockchain integrations, adding Solana in December 2024 and Ethereum layer 2 Arbitrum in February. It has also partnered with StraitX and Visa to support retail crypto payments in Singapore.

該公司一直在擴展其區塊鏈集成，並於2024年12月增加了Solana和2月以太坊第2層仲裁。它還與Straitx和Visa合作，以支持新加坡的零售加密貨幣付款。

Still, RedotPay appears to have cross-border service restrictions. Visitors outside Hong Kong are greeted with a warning when accessing the company’s website.

儘管如此，重項目似乎具有跨境服務限制。訪問公司網站時，香港以外的遊客會受到警告。

Crypto payments options rising in Asia, with stablecoins at the forefront

加密付款選項在亞洲上升，Stablecoins處於最前沿

Direct cryptocurrency payment solutions are becoming increasingly popular in Asia. Back in November 2024, Singapore-based digital asset trading platform Crypto.com announced a partnership with Triple-A to introduce a service that enables merchants to accept direct crypto payments.

直接的加密貨幣支付解決方案在亞洲變得越來越流行。早在2024年11月，總部位於新加坡的數字資產交易平台Crypto.com宣布與Triple-A建立合作夥伴關係，以引入一項服務，使商人能夠接受直接的加密付款。

This partnership aimed to simplify the process of accepting cryptocurrency payments for businesses, eliminating the need for conversion to fiat currency.

該合作夥伴關係旨在簡化接受企業的加密貨幣支付的過程，從而消除了轉換為菲亞特貨幣的需求。

Hong Kong is home to several companies operating in the crypto payments space. Another notable startup, Infini, focuses on stablecoins and provides payment services while offering an opportunity for users to earn interest (yield) on their cryptocurrency.

香港是在加密貨幣支付領域運營的幾家公司的所在地。另一家著名的創業公司Infini專注於Stablecoins，並提供付款服務，同時為用戶提供了在其加密貨幣上賺取利息（收益）的機會。

Earlier this year, Infini fell victim to a $50 million exploit. The incident allegedly involved a rogue developer who maliciously swapped a large sum of USDC for DAI—a decentralized stablecoin that cannot be frozen, unlike its centralized counterparts.

今年早些時候，Infini成為了5000萬美元的利用受害者。據稱，該事件涉及一名流氓開發商，他惡意將大量USDC換成了DAI，這是一種無法凍結的分散的Stablecoin，與其集中式同行不同。

In contrast to the price volatility of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) or Ether (ETH), stablecoins provide a more stable and consistent option for those who prefer to use them for regular transactions or for holding value.

與比特幣（BTC）或Ether（ETH）等加密貨幣的價格波動相反，穩定的穩定性為那些更願意將其用於常規交易或保持價值的人提供了更穩定，更一致的選擇。

The article also mentions that Japan, the second-largest Asian economy by GDP, is making significant progress in adopting stablecoins.

該文章還提到，日本是GDP的第二大亞洲經濟，在採用穩定的人方面取得了重大進展。

According to a recent report by Tokyo-based research and consulting firm Yuri Group, shared with Cointelegraph Magazine, the Japanese government views stablecoins as a crucial factor that could unlock an estimated $14 trillion in household savings.

根據與CoIntelegraph雜誌共享的總部位於東京的研究和諮詢公司Yuri Group的最新報告，日本政府認為Stablecoins是一個至關重要的因素，可以釋放約14萬億美元的家庭儲蓄。

This report highlights Progmat as a key player in Japan’s digital asset ecosystem. Backed by the nation’s largest bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Progmat operates in strict adherence to Japan’s regulatory framework, which mandates a 1:1 reserve backing for stablecoins. This ensures that Japan’s established financial institutions remain at the forefront of managing digital assets.

該報告強調了Progmat是日本數字資產生態系統中的關鍵參與者。在美國最大的銀行的支持下，三菱UFJ Progmat嚴格遵守日本的監管框架，該框架規定了穩定股份的1：1儲備金。這樣可以確保日本既定的金融機構仍然處於管理數字資產的最前沿。

In another development, China, Asia’s largest economy, has banned cryptocurrency trading and only recognizes the renminbi as the country’s legal tender.

在另一個發展中，亞洲最大的經濟體中國已禁止加密貨幣交易，僅承認人民幣是該國的法定貨幣。
