SBI VC貿易成為第一家獲得處理離岸穩定的許可證的公司

今天，日本SBI Holdings的加密貨幣交易所子公司SBI VC Trade表示，它已成為第一家獲得許可的日本公司的“電子支付”

Today SBI VC Trade, a cryptocurrency exchange subsidiary of Japan’s SBI Holdings (6578) , said it has become the first Japanese firm to be licensed as an “Electronic Payment Instruments Exchange Service Provider”. The license is required to handle offshore stablecoins such as Circle’s USDC. SBI and Circle (NYSE:COIN) recently announced a collaboration to launch the latter’s USDC stablecoin in Japan.

如今，日本SBI Holdings（6578）的加密貨幣交易所子公司SBI VC Trade表示，它已成為第一家獲得許可為“電子支付工具交易工具服務提供商”的日本公司。需要許可證以處理諸如Circle USDC之類的海上Stablecoins。 SBI和Circle（NYSE：COIN）最近宣布了一項合作，以在日本推出後者的USDC Stablecoin。

SBI VC Trade is already licensed as a crypto exchange and for securities business. It plans to start a beta version of USDC services in ten days.

SBI VC貿易已經被許可為加密交易所和證券業務。它計劃在十天內啟動Beta版本的USDC服務。

The move is notable for two reasons. Firstly, the USD – Yen exchange rate is an important one. To date stablecoins have mainly been used for crypto transactions and for emerging market residents to hold dollars. It has also been used for cross border payments, again mainly in emerging markets.

此舉值得注意，原因有兩個。首先，美元 - 日元匯率是重要的。迄今為止，Stablecoins主要用於加密交易，以及新興市場居民持有美元。它也已用於跨境支付，主要是在新興市場中。

On the other hand, according to Swift, the Yen is the fifth most widely used currency for cross border payments, and ranks third (5.42%) if you exclude transactions between European firms.

另一方面，根據Swift的說法，日元是跨境支付的第五貨幣，如果您排除歐洲公司之間的交易，則排名第三（5.42％）。

Many are more skeptical about the utility of stablecoins for cross border payments between developed economies, particularly the US and Europe. It remains to be seen if the same applies to Japan.

許多人對穩定的經濟體（尤其是美國和歐洲之間的跨境支付）的效用更加懷疑。是否適用於日本，還有待觀察。

Clearly stablecoins have potential in foreign exchange, especially at the retail level.

顯然，穩定的股幣具有外匯潛力，尤其是在零售水平上。

While SBI VC Trade is a crypto exchange, several organizations in the Japanese payments sector are also interested in stablecoins for cross border payments.

儘管SBI VC貿易是加密交易所，但日本支付部門的幾個組織也對STABLECOIN感興趣進行跨境支付。

Japan’s largest bank, MUFG (8306) , is currently trialing stablecoins as an invisible backend alternative to Swift for cross border payments, alongside the other big three banks. In addition, MUFG co-founded Progmat Coin with SBI. Progmat is exploring stablecoins for various types of cross border payments, such as trade in emerging markets. Progmat also has a collaboration with Japanese stablecoin issuer JPYC, which applied for the same electronic payment instrument license.

日本最大的銀行MUFG（8306）目前正在試用Stablecoins作為Swift的無形後端替代跨境支付的替代品，以及其他三大銀行。另外，MUFG與SBI共同創建了Progmat硬幣。 Progmat正在探索各種類型的跨境支付（例如新興市場貿易）的穩定幣。 Progmat還與日本Stablecoin發行人JPYC合作，該發行人申請了相同的電子支付儀器許可證。

Soramitsu is exploring cross border payments by integrating stablecoins with Cambodia’s Bakong digital payment system, which Soramitsu developed.

Soramitsu正在通過將Stablecoins與Soramitsu開發的Bakong數字支付系統相結合，來探索跨境付款。

Ironically, the largest Yen stablecoin wasn't issued in Japan. It was launched by the New York registered trust GMO-Z which issues the GYen (Market cap: $10m) and ZUSD (market cap: $18m) stablecoins. GMO-Z is part of Japan’s GMO Internet (7680) Group.

具有諷刺意味的是，日元最大的日元stablecoin不是在日本發行的。它是由紐約註冊信託GMO-Z推出的，該信託Z發行了Gyen（市值：1000萬美元）和ZUSD（市值：1800萬美元）Stablecoins。 GMO-Z是日本GMO Internet（7680）組的一部分。
