日本SBI集團的加密貨幣部門SBI VC Trade註冊為“電子支付服務提供商”，成為該國的第一個

SBI VC Trade, a subsidiary of SBI Group and the crypto arm of the Japanese financial giant, has registered as an “Electronic Payment Service Provider” with the Financial Services Agency (FSA).

SBI VC Trade是SBI集團的子公司和日本金融巨頭的加密貨幣部門，已在金融服務局（FSA）註冊為“電子支付服務提供商”。

The registration, announced by SBI on Tuesday, makes it the first company in Japan to be authorized to process transactions for USD Coin (USDC) stablecoin.

SBI週二宣布的註冊使其成為日本第一家被授權處理USD Coin（USDC）Stablecoin交易的公司。

The company will launch a beta version of USDC-related services for a limited number of users on March 12, following system maintenance.

該公司將於3月12日在系統維護之後，於3月12日為有限數量的用戶啟動Beta版本的Beta版本。

“SBI VC Trade will be applying for the necessary registrations to enable full-scale rollout of USDC transactions as quickly as possible,” the company stated in a press release.

該公司在新聞稿中說：“ SBI VC貿易將申請必要的註冊，以盡快使USDC交易的全面推出。”

The development follows SBI Group’s agreement with Circle, the issuer of USDC, in March 2023 for a broader business partnership.

該開發項目是在2023年3月與USDC的發行人Circle達成協議之後，建立了更廣泛的業務合作夥伴關係。

As part of the collaboration, SBI Shinsei Bank will be offering banking services to Circle, contributing to the accessibility and liquidity of USDC for businesses and individuals in Japan.

作為合作的一部分，SBI Shinsei銀行將提供銀行服務來繞圈，這為日本企業和個人的USDC的可及性和流動性做出了貢獻。

Moreover, SBI Group is set to integrate Circle’s Web3 solutions, such as programmable wallets, blockchain infrastructure, and smart contract management tools, as part of its digital asset strategy.

此外，SBI集團將集成Circle的Web3解決方案，例如可編程錢包，區塊鏈基礎架構和智能合同管理工具，作為其數字資產策略的一部分。

The news comes as USD Coin (USDC) has been rapidly recovering the losses it sustained during the most recent bear market and reached a new market capitalization high of $56.3 billion by February.

該消息傳來，因為美元硬幣（USDC）一直在迅速收回其在最近的熊市中遭受的損失，並在2月到達了563億美元的新市值。

As reported by Token Terminal data, USDC's market cap experienced a 23.4% jump, climbing from $45.6 billion to its lowest point of $24.1 billion in November 2023.

正如Token終端數據所報導的那樣，USDC的市值躍升了23.4％，從456億美元攀升至2023年11月的241億美元的最低點。

The comeback can be attributed to Circle's expansion to more blockchains like Sui and Aptos and the minting of $6 billion USDC on Solana in January 2025.

捲土重來可以歸因於Circle擴展到Sui和Aptos等更多區塊鏈，以及2025年1月在Solana上的60億美元的造幣。

Despite the significant recovery, USDC remains the second-largest stablecoin, with Tether's USDT still holding the top spot with a market capitalization of $141.6 billion as of February 10. Over the past 30 days, USDT has seen an addition of $4 billion to its market cap.

儘管恢復了大量恢復，但USDC仍然是第二大Stablecoin，截至2月10日，Tether的USDT仍然以1,416億美元的市值佔據了最高位置。在過去的30天中，USDT在其市值中增加了40億美元。

According to DefiLlama data, USDT continues to dominate the stablecoin market with a 63% share, though USDC's share has grown to 25%, up from 19.4% a year ago.

根據Defillama數據，USDT繼續以63％的份額在Stablecoin市場中佔據主導地位，儘管USDC的份額已增長到25％，高於一年前的19.4％。

Stablecoins have also taken center stage in U.S. policy discussions under President Donald Trump's administration, with regulators considering new frameworks for digital dollar alternatives.

穩定幣還在唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統的政府領導下的美國政策討論中佔據了中心地位，監管機構正在考慮使用數字美元替代方案的新框架。

White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks has argued that stablecoins could “extend the dollar’s dominance internationally and digitally,” stressing that the administration seeks to promote stablecoin within the U.S.

白宮AI和Crypto沙皇大衛·薩克斯（David Sacks）辯稱，斯塔布萊幣可以“在國際和數字上擴大美元的統治地位”，強調政府試圖促進美國境內的Stablecoin

The overall stablecoin market cap grew from $121 billion in August 2023 to $224 billion as of February, highlighting the increasing demand for dollar-linked digital assets and their integration into financial markets.

整個Stablecoin市值從2023年8月的1,210億美元增長到2月的2240億美元，強調了對美元掛鉤數字資產的需求不斷增長及其融入金融市場的需求。
