GCASH集成了USDC Stablecoin，以菲律宾的380亿美元汇款市场为目标

对于许多菲律宾人来说，数字钱包已成为日常交易的重要工具 - 乘车，向家人汇款或与朋友分配餐厅账单。

As the use of digital wallets for daily transactions like paying for rides, sending money to family, or splitting restaurant bills becomes increasingly mainstream in the Philippines, one company is pushing the boundaries even further with the integration of a cryptocurrency.

随着数字钱包用于日常交易，例如支付乘车，向家人汇款或分裂餐厅账单在菲律宾越来越成为主流，一家公司正在随着加密货币的整合而进一步推动界限。

Known for its massive user base of about 100 million people and an annual transaction volume of over $65 billion, GCash is a leading digital wallet in Southeast Asia. The company is now taking a significant step by introducing USDC (USD Coin), a cryptocurrency stablecoin that is directly pegged to the US dollar, into its digital wallet. This new development will allow GCash users to hold and transact with USDC seamlessly within their existing digital wallet.

Gcash以其约1亿人口的大量用户群和年度交易量超过650亿美元而闻名，是东南亚的领先数字钱包。该公司现在通过引入USDC（USD Coin）迈出了重要的一步，这是一种直接将其与美元挂在数字钱包中的加密货币Stablecoin。这一新开发将使GCASH用户能够在其现有的数字钱包中与USDC无缝地保持和交易。

The integration of USDC could have a substantial impact in the Philippines, especially considering the role of remittances in the country's economy. In 2024 alone, remittances reached a record-high of $38.3 billion, contributing approximately 8%-10% to the Philippines' GDP.

USDC的整合可能会对菲律宾产生重大影响，尤其是考虑到汇款在该国经济中的作用。仅在2024年，汇款就达到了创纪录的383亿美元，对菲律宾的GDP贡献了约8％-10％。

While the volume of stablecoin-based transfers is still relatively small, at less than 5% of all inbound remittances, it's a segment of the market that is rapidly expanding.

尽管基于稳定的转移的数量仍然相对较小，但不到所有入站汇款的5％，但它是市场迅速扩大的一部分。

It's worth noting that GCash already offers cryptocurrency services through its subsidiary, GCrypto, which has partnered with a local cryptocurrency exchange, PDAX. GCrypto currently offers 39 different cryptocurrencies, including Paypal's PYUSD stablecoin, for trading to its users. The addition of USDC will further expand these offerings, presenting users with a stable digital currency option within the familiar GCash ecosystem.

值得注意的是，GCASH已经通过其子公司GCRypto提供了加密货币服务，该公司已与当地的加密货币交易所PDAX合作。 GCRypto目前提供39种不同的加密货币，包括PayPal的Pyusd Stablecoin，用于交易其用户。 USDC的添加将进一步扩展这些产品，向用户介绍熟悉的GCASH生态系统中的稳定数字货币选项。

This move shouldn't come as a complete surprise, considering that GCash's main competitor, PayMaya, has also been exploring the integration of cryptocurrency into its own digital wallet. Additionally, regional players like GrabPay are closely monitoring the developments in the digital currency space.

考虑到GCASH的主要竞争对手Paymaya也一直在探索加密货币与自己的数字钱包的整合，这一举动并不应该完全令人惊讶。此外，像GrabPay这样的区域参与者正在密切监视数字货币领域的发展。

But with this addition, GCash could be positioning itself as a leader in Southeast Asia's evolving digital finance landscape, merging the convenience of digital wallets with the agility of stablecoins. In fact, recent reports indicate that GCash could be aiming for an IPO valuation of at least $8 billion by the end of 2025.

但是，通过此增加，GCASH可以将自己定位为东南亚不断发展的数字金融景观的领导者，将数字钱包的便利性与稳定的稳定性融合在一起。实际上，最近的报告表明，GCASH的目标是到2025年底的IPO估值至少为80亿美元。

This news comes after the company recently completed a funding round that valued it at $5 billion.

该新闻是在该公司最近完成了一轮筹集资金之后，将其估价为50亿美元。
