Avalanche Integrates with Stripe for Enhanced Fiat-to-Crypto Access

Avalanche 与 Stripe 集成以增强法币到加密货币的访问

The Avalanche C-Chain network has formed an alliance with Stripe, a leading payment firm. This integration provides verified Stripe users with the ability to purchase Avalanche's (AVAX) token and transfer it to their wallets. Additionally, eight Avalanche Web3 applications have been integrated with the platform.

Avalanche C-Chain 网络已与领先的支付公司 Stripe 结成联盟。这种集成使经过验证的 Stripe 用户能够购买 Avalanche 的 (AVAX) 代币并将其转移到他们的钱包中。此外，八个 Avalanche Web3 应用程序已与该平台集成。

Developers of Avalanche apps can now incorporate a customizable widget into their interfaces, allowing users to exchange fiat currencies for cryptocurrencies through Stripe's platform. This integration aims to address the "cold start problem" in Web3, where users lack sufficient funds in their wallets to initiate transactions. Stripe, in this scenario, manages KYC, payments, fraud detection, and compliance, enabling developers to focus on the functionality of their apps.

Avalanche 应用程序的开发人员现在可以将可定制的小部件合并到他们的界面中，允许用户通过 Stripe 平台将法定货币兑换为加密货币。此集成旨在解决 Web3 中的“冷启动问题”，即用户钱包中缺乏足够的资金来发起交易。在这种情况下，Stripe 管理 KYC、支付、欺诈检测和合规性，使开发人员能够专注于其应用程序的功能。

MicroStrategy's Bitcoin Spree Continues Amidst Quarterly Loss

MicroStrategy 的比特币热潮在季度亏损中继续

MicroStrategy, a business intelligence firm and ardent Bitcoin advocate, reported a net loss of $53.1 million in the first quarter of 2024. This loss was primarily attributed to a $191.6 million impairment loss on digital assets, significantly higher than the previous year. The company's revenue also declined by 5.5% to $115.2 million compared to the same period in 2023.

商业智能公司、比特币的热心倡导者 MicroStrategy 报告称，2024 年第一季度净亏损 5310 万美元。这一亏损主要归因于数字资产 1.916 亿美元的减值损失，显着高于上一年。与2023年同期相比，该公司的收入也下降了5.5%至1.152亿美元。

Despite the loss, MicroStrategy's unwavering belief in Bitcoin remains evident. Under traditional accounting methods, its Bitcoin holdings were valued at $5.07 billion. However, at fair market price, the value would soar to $15.2 billion, reflecting a 65% increase during the quarter. The company has continued to acquire more Bitcoin in April, now holding 214,400 BTC worth $13.5 billion, acquired at an average purchase price of $35,180.

尽管遭受损失，MicroStrategy 对比特币坚定不移的信念仍然显而易见。按照传统会计方法，其持有的比特币价值为 50.7 亿美元。然而，按公平市场价格计算，其价值将飙升至 152 亿美元，本季度增长 65%。该公司在 4 月份继续购买更多比特币，目前持有 214,400 个比特币，价值 135 亿美元，平均购买价格为 35,180 美元。

With a market cap of $375 million, BUIDL has overtaken the previous reigning champion, which has a market cap of $368 million.

贝莱德美元机构数字流动性基金（BUIDL）已成为区块链上最大的代币化国债基金，超过富兰克林邓普顿支持的富兰克林链上美国政府货币基金（BENJI）。 BUIDL 的市值为 3.75 亿美元，超越了之前的卫冕冠军（市值为 3.68 亿美元）。

Last week, BUIDL attracted $70 million, including a substantial investment from Ondo Finance. During the same period, BENJI witnessed a 3.7% decline in its assets under management. The tokenization of U.S. Treasurys across various blockchains, including Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana, now exceeds $1.2 billion.

上周，BUIDL 吸引了 7000 万美元，其中包括 Ondo Finance 的巨额投资。同期，本基管理资产下降3.7%。美国国债在以太坊、Polygon 和 Solana 等各种区块链上的代币化现已超过 12 亿美元。

Coinbase Embraces Lightning Network for Bitcoin Transactions

Coinbase 采用闪电网络进行比特币交易

Coinbase has introduced support for the Lightning Network, offering users the flexibility to transfer Bitcoin using either the Lightning Network or the Bitcoin blockchain. The Lightning Network enables faster and cheaper transfers, with instantaneous transactions in contrast to the Bitcoin blockchain's 10-minute to two-hour transfer times.

Coinbase 引入了对闪电网络的支持，为用户提供使用闪电网络或比特币区块链传输比特币的灵活性。闪电网络可以实现更快、更便宜的传输，并且可以进行即时交易，而比特币区块链的传输时间需要 10 分钟到两小时。

To use the Lightning Network, the recipient provides an invoice consisting of a complex string of characters that Coinbase recognizes as the transfer amount. However, Coinbase cautions that Lightning transfers may occasionally experience delays or failures due to unique implementation or fee structures.

要使用闪电网络，接收者需要提供一张由 Coinbase 识别为转账金额的复杂字符串组成的发票。然而，Coinbase 警告称，由于独特的实施或费用结构，闪电传输有时可能会出现延迟或失败。
