Circle 收购 Cumberland Labs 孵化的 USYC 稳定币发行人 Hashnote

该公司于周二（1 月 21 日）宣布了此项交易，并指出 Cumberland Labs 是全球最大的代币化国债和货币市场基金

Cryptocurrency firm Circle has acquired Hashnote, the issuer of the USYC stablecoin that is incubated by Cumberland Labs, the largest tokenized treasury and money market fund globally.

加密货币公司 Circle 收购了 Hashnote，后者是由全球最大的代币化国债和货币市场基金 Cumberland Labs 孵化的 USYC 稳定币发行人。

With the acquisition, Circle will integrate USYC with its USDC stablecoin, making USYC a preferred form of yield-bearing collateral on crypto exchanges, custodians and prime brokers.

通过此次收购，Circle 将把 USYC 与其 USDC 稳定币整合，使 USYC 成为加密货币交易所、托管机构和主要经纪商首选的收益抵押品形式。

“The integration of USYC and Hashnote into Circle’s platform marks a major moment in the evolution of the stablecoin market, as cash and yield-bearing short-duration treasury bill assets become fungible and convertible at the speed of blockchains and crypto capital markets,” said Jeremy Allaire, Circle’s chief executive.

“USYC 和 Hashnote 融入 Circle 平台标志着稳定币市场发展的一个重要时刻，因为现金和有收益的短期国库券资产以区块链和加密资本市场的速度变得可替代和可兑换，”杰里米·阿莱尔 (Jeremy Allaire)，Circle 首席执行官。

“This is a huge unlock for a market that is increasingly being driven by institutional adoption, and where participants increasingly expect market structures that are common in TradFi.”

“对于一个越来越受到机构采用推动的市场来说，这是一个巨大的解锁，参与者越来越期望 TradFi 中常见的市场结构。”

The acquisition is bolstered by a strategic partnership with DRW, one of the largest institutional crypto traders, through its subsidiary Cumberland.

此次收购得益于 DRW 通过其子公司 Cumberland 建立的战略合作伙伴关系，DRW 是最大的机构加密货币交易商之一。

“As marquee products for its trading operation, Cumberland will expand its institutional-grade liquidity and settlement capabilities in USDC and USYC, where permitted,” Circle said. “Cumberland’s expertise and own use cases will help drive innovation in the use of these products for more efficient and seamless collateral management.”

Circle 表示：“作为其交易业务的招牌产品，Cumberland 将在允许的情况下扩大 USDC 和 USYC 的机构级流动性和结算能力。” “坎伯兰的专业知识和自己的用例将有助于推动这些产品使用的创新，从而实现更高效、无缝的抵押品管理。”

Earlier this week, Allaire said he expects that President Donald Trump will move quickly on new cryptocurrency rules, and that he hopes the administration rolls back the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 121.

本周早些时候，阿莱尔表示，他预计唐纳德·特朗普总统将迅速采取新的加密货币规则，并希望政府撤销证券交易委员会的第 121 号员工会计公告。

This rule, the CEO argued, “effectively made it punitive for banks and financial institutions and corporations even to hold crypto assets on their balance sheet.”

这位首席执行官认为，这条规则“实际上对银行、金融机构和企业甚至在其资产负债表上持有加密资产的行为进行了惩罚。”

As PYMNTS wrote recently, stablecoins are increasingly seen as a viable payment option, bridging the gap between the crypto world and traditional finance.

正如 PYMNTS 最近所写，稳定币越来越被视为一种可行的支付选择，弥合了加密货币世界与传统金融之间的差距。

“Where stablecoins offer superior benefits, customers will naturally gravitate toward them,” FV Bank CEO Miles Paschini told PYMNTS last week.

FV 银行首席执行官迈尔斯·帕斯基尼 (Miles Paschini) 上周对 PYMNTS 表示：“如果稳定币能够提供卓越的优势，客户自然会被它们所吸引。”

Research by PYMNTS Intelligence has found that using cryptocurrencies for cross-border payments could be the winning use case that the industry has been searching for. The research showed that blockchain-based cross-border solutions, especially stablecoins, are being embraced by companies looking to find a better way to transact and expand internationally.

PYMNTS Intelligence 的研究发现，使用加密货币进行跨境支付可能是该行业一直在寻找的获胜用例。研究表明，基于区块链的跨境解决方案，尤其是稳定币，正在受到寻求更好的国际交易和扩张方式的公司的欢迎。
