USDC背后的公司Circle已正式申请IPO

USDC背后的公司Circle已正式申请IPO，旨在在纽约证券交易所列出CRCL的纽约证券交易所。

Circle, the company behind the second-largest dollar-linked cryptocurrency, USD Coin, on Wednesday filed for an initial public offering (IPO), aiming for a listing on the New York Stock Exchange.

Circle是第二大与美元的加密货币背后的公司，周三申请了首次公开募股（IPO），目的是在纽约证券交易所上市。

The company, which also offers crypto-based financial services, is planning to sell shares in a range that would value Circle at up to $5 billion, according to the company's filing. It is targeting the ticker symbol CRCL.

该公司的文件显示，该公司还提供基于加密货币的金融服务，计划在该公司的文件中出售股票，该股票的价值高达50亿美元。它针对股票符号CRCL。

JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup are the lead underwriters for the IPO.

摩根大通（JPMorgan Chase）和花旗集团（Citigroup）是IPO的主要承销商。

Circle had previously pursued a SPAC merger with‌لارو في عام 2022, but that deal ultimately fell apart due to difficulties in obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals by the set deadline.

Circle此前曾与2022年进行了与‌室合并的SPAC合并，但由于在设定的截止日期获得必要的监管批准时，该协议最终崩溃了。

The move comes as several crypto firms have sought to go public through SPAC mergers or direct listings in 2021 and 2022.

此举是因为几家加密公司试图通过SPAC合并或2022年的直接列表公开。

Circle's IPO would make it one of the largest crypto firms to list in the U.S. After a turbulent year for the digital asset industry, several crypto firms have faced difficulties in the markets.

Circle的IPO将使它成为数字资产行业动荡不安的一年后，在美国列出的最大的加密公司之一，几家加密货币公司在市场上面临困难。

Earlier this year, reports indicated that Circle was aiming for a lower IPO valuation than the $6 billion to $7 billion valuation it had targeted during prior SPAC merger discussions in 2022.

今年早些时候，报告表明，Circle的目标是高于2022年先前SPAC合并讨论期间的60亿至70亿美元估值的IPO估值。

The company's revenue for 2024 is $1.68 billion, which is higher than the previous year's revenue of $1.5 billion. However, its net income is $156 million, which is lower than the prior year's net income of $268 million in 2023.

该公司2024年的收入为16.8亿美元，高于上一年的15亿美元收入。但是，其净收入为1.56亿美元，低于前一年的净收入，2.68亿美元。

Circle is best known for USD Coin (USDC), which is the second-largest stablecoin, a type of cryptocurrency that aims to maintain a stable price, typically linked to a fiat currency. USDC currently has about $60 billion in circulation.

Circle以USD Coin（USDC）而闻名，后者是第二大稳定币，这是一种加密货币，旨在保持稳定的价格，通常与法定货币有关。 USDC目前有大约600亿美元的发行量。

The growing stablecoin market is a significant factor in Circle's decision to go public. It also highlights the increasing role of cryptocurrency companies in traditional financial markets.

不断增长的Stablecoin市场是Circle决定公开的重要因素。它还强调了加密货币公司在传统金融市场中的越来越多的作用。

Stablecoin legislation in the United States is expected to be passed later this year, and it is likely to propel the market even further. Circle's IPO may disrupt the crypto exchange market, especially with the cooperation of Coinbase in splitting the USDC revenue.

预计美国的Stablecoin立法将在今年晚些时候通过，它可能会进一步推动市场。 Circle的IPO可能会破坏加密交易所市场，尤其是在Coinbase分解USDC收入方面的合作。

As stablecoins become more deeply involved in crypto trading activities, Circle's IPO could be a landmark event for the industry.

随着Stablecoins越来越深入地参与加密交易活动，Circle的IPO可能是该行业的地标活动。
