全球最大穩定幣開發商 Tether 計劃推出與阿聯酋迪拉姆 (AED) 掛鉤的新代幣

stablecoin issuer Tether is preparing to launch a new token pegged to the United Arab Emirates dirham (AED), in partnership with Abu Dhabi-listed crypto conglomerate Phoenix Group and Green Acorn Investments.

穩定幣發行商 Tether 正準備與阿布達比上市的加密企業集團 Phoenix Group 和 Green Acorn Investments 合作，推出與阿聯酋迪拉姆 (AED) 掛鉤的新代幣。

The move marks Tether’s expansion beyond non-dollar stablecoins, capitalizing on the UAE’s growing stature as a global cryptocurrency hub.

此舉標誌著 Tether 的擴張超越了非美元穩定幣，充分利用了阿聯酋作為全球加密貨幣中心日益增長的地位。

Stablecoins are digital assets pegged to fiat currencies, offering a hedge against the volatility of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Tether’s USDT is the largest stablecoin, dominating the market with a capitalization of over $117 billion, accounting for nearly 70% of the stablecoin market.

穩定幣是與法定貨幣掛鉤的數位資產，可以對沖比特幣等加密貨幣的波動性。 Tether 的 USDT 是最大的穩定幣，以超過 1,170 億美元的市值主導市場，佔據穩定幣市場近 70% 的份額。

However, stablecoins pegged to other fiat currencies, such as Tether’s euro-pegged EURT, have a much smaller market presence. The introduction of a dirham-pegged stablecoin could diversify Tether’s offerings and cater to the demand for Gulf currencies.

然而，與其他法定貨幣掛鉤的穩定幣（例如 Tether 與歐元掛鉤的 EURT）的市場份額要小得多。推出與迪拉姆掛鉤的穩定幣可以使 Tether 的產品多樣化，並滿足對海灣貨幣的需求。

Tether plans to apply for licensing for the new stablecoin under the UAE Central Bank’s recently announced Payment Token Services Regulation, which could be advantageous given Dubai and Abu Dhabi’s reputations as crypto-friendly cities.

Tether 計劃根據阿聯酋中央銀行最近宣布的支付代幣服務法規申請新穩定幣的許可，考慮到杜拜和阿布達比作為加密貨幣友善城市的聲譽，這可能是有利的。

“The UAE is becoming a major global economic hub, and we believe our users will find our dirham-pegged token to be a valuable and versatile addition,” said Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino in a statement.

Tether 執行長 Paolo Ardoino 在一份聲明中表示：“阿聯酋正在成為全球主要經濟中心，我們相信我們的用戶會發現我們的迪拉姆掛鉤代幣是一種有價值且用途廣泛的補充。”

Highlighting the stablecoin’s utility as a secure and efficient tool for cross-border payments, trading, and diversifying digital assets, Ardoino added, “We are excited to offer this new stablecoin and continue working closely with partners in the region to drive the adoption of digital currencies.”

Ardoino 強調了穩定幣作為跨境支付、交易和數位資產多元化的安全高效工具的實用性，他補充說：「我們很高興能夠提供這種新的穩定幣，並繼續與該地區的合作夥伴密切合作，推動數位資產的採用貨幣。

The dirham-pegged stablecoin will complement Tether’s existing lineup of fiat-pegged tokens, including USDT and EURT, further solidifying Tether’s position as the largest issuer of stablecoins by market capitalization.

這款與迪拉姆掛鉤的穩定幣將補充 Tether 現有的與法幣掛鉤的代幣陣容，包括 USDT 和 EURT，進一步鞏固 Tether 作為市值最大的穩定幣發行者的地位。

Owned by Hong Kong-headquartered Ifinex, Tether provides a breakdown of its reserves and a complete list of reserve custodians.

Tether 隸屬於總部位於香港的 Ifinex，提供其儲備金明細和儲備金託管人的完整名單。

Meanwhile, other stablecoins under Tether’s purview, such as Tether Gold (XAUT), Tether EURt (EURT), Mexican Peso Tether (MXNT), and Tether Chinese Yuan (CNHT), do not enjoy the same level of liquidity cushion as USDT, according to the report.

同時，根據Tether Gold (XAUT)、Tether EURt (EURT)、墨西哥比索Tether (MXNT) 和Tether 人民幣(CNHT) 等Tether 管轄範圍內的其他穩定幣，並不享有與USDT 相同水準的流動性緩衝。

These stablecoins lack balances to maintain a 1:1 peg in times of crisis.

這些穩定幣缺乏餘額，無法在危機時期維持 1:1 的掛鉤。
