圆圈升级其跨链转移协议（CCTP）以缩短定居时间

输入：USDC的发行人Circle启动了对其跨链转移协议（CCTP）的升级，该协议将将和解时间从几分钟减少到仅几秒钟。

Circle, the issuer of USDCoin (USDC), has launched an upgrade of its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) that will slash settlement times from minutes to just seconds.

USDCOIN（USDC）的发行人Circle启动了其跨链转移协议（CCTP）的升级，该协议将将和解时间从几分钟缩小到仅几秒钟。

The newly introduced CCTP V2 builds on its predecessor with updated smart contracts and APIs, reducing the average 13-19 minute settlement time between Ethereum and Layer 2 blockchains to nearly instant transactions.

新引入的CCTP V2通过更新的智能合约和API建立在其前身，将以太坊和第2层区块链之间的平均13-19分钟结算时间缩短为几乎即时交易。

“CCTP V2 removes barriers that have slowed the movement of digital dollars across supported blockchains,” said Nikhil Chandhok, Circle’s chief product officer, in a statement. The update also gives developers more control over cross-chain transactions and simplify what has often been a complex process.

Circle首席产品官Nikhil Chandhok在一份声明中说：“ CCTP V2消除了障碍，这些障碍减慢了数字资金在受支持的区块链之间的移动。”该更新还为开发人员提供了对跨链交易的更多控制权，并简化了通常是一个复杂过程的内容。

With $58 billion in circulation, USDC is the second-largest stablecoin, lagging behind Tether’s USDT with $142 billion. As the stablecoin market continues to grow, faster transactions could help Circle stay competitive.

USDC凭借580亿美元的流通，是第二大Stablecoin，落后于Tether的USDT，其1420亿美元。随着Stablecoin市场的不断增长，更快的交易可以帮助Circle保持竞争力。

The upgrade will first be available on Avalanche, Base, and Ethereum, with more blockchains to be added over time. Meanwhile, CCTP V1 will remain active on 11 blockchains and has already processed over $36 billion in transfers since launching in 2023.

升级将首先在雪崩，基础和以太坊上提供，随着时间的推移，更多的区块链要添加。同时，CCTP V1将在11个区块链上保持活跃，自2023年推出以来，已经处理了超过360亿美元的转会。

One of the key additions in V2 is “Hooks,” a feature allowing developers to automate post-transfer actions on the destination blockchain to further streamline the process.

V2中的关键添加之一是“挂钩”，这是一项功能，允许开发人员在目标区块链上自动化转移操作以进一步简化该过程。

Earlier in February, Circle co-founder Jeremy Allaire stated that he believes stablecoin issuers worldwide should be required to register with US authorities, regardless of the country they operate in.

2月初，Circle联合创始人Jeremy Allaire表示，他认为，无论他们在哪个国家 /地区，全球范围内的Stablecoin发行人都必须在美国当局注册。

In an interview with Blockworks, Allaire argued that firms issuing U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoins should not be allowed to bypass American regulations while still serving U.S. customers.

在接受Blockworks的采访中，Allaire认为，发行美元稳定的公司的公司不应被绕过美国的法规，同时仍在为美国客户提供服务。

However, major stablecoin issuers like Tether are facing mounting pressure as regulators worldwide move to clamp down on crypto firms.

但是，随着全球监管机构逐步削减加密货币公司，像Tether这样的主要Stablecoin发行人正面临不断增长的压力。

Recently, the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations approved six stablecoin issuers whose tokens will be allowed in the region’s market. Tether was excluded from the list.

最近，欧盟的加密资产市场（MICA）法规批准了六个稳定的发行人，这些发行人将在该地区的市场中允许其代币。系绳被排除在列表之外。

Moreover, crypto exchange Kraken and Crypto.com are preparing to delist USDT and other non-compliant stablecoins from the European market in the coming months to comply with MiCA.

此外，Crypto Exchange Kraken和Crypto.com正在准备在接下来的几个月中从欧洲市场上脱颖而出，以符合MICA。

As the issuer of USDC, the world’s second-largest stablecoin, Circle stands to benefit from any regulatory clarity that allows financial institutions to integrate digital assets more freely. Pegged to the U.S. dollar, USDC is currently ranked as the eighth-largest cryptocurrency by market value.

作为全球第二大的Stablecoin USDC的发行人，Circle将受益于任何法规清晰度，该清晰度允许金融机构更加自由地整合数字资产。 USDC与美元固定为美元，目前按市场价值排名为第八大加密货币。

Circle’s valuation reached $9 billion in 2022 when it attempted to go public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) deal with Concord Acquisition Corp. However, the proposed merger was mutually terminated in December 2022 due to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) delayed approval and the fallout from the FTX collapse and subsequent crypto winter.

Circle的估值在2022年试图通过与Concord Acceliention Corp的特殊目的收购公司（SPAC）进行公开率达到90亿美元。但是，由于美国证券交易委员会（SEC）的批准，并从FTX Collapse and后续Crypto Winter造成了美国证券交易委员会（SEC）延迟批准，并于2022年12月终止了拟议的合并。
