新资金将用于推动 USDh 的增长，USDh 是通过 Runes 在比特币第 1 层 (L1) 上本地发行，并通过 Stacks 在第 2 层 (L2) 上本地发行。

Fintech platform Hermetica, the creator of USDh, a Bitcoin (BTC)-backed synthetic dollar that generates yield, has raised $1.7 million in seed funding, Finbold learned on October 16 from a statement shared with the press.

Finbold 于 10 月 16 日从与媒体分享的一份声明中获悉，金融科技平台 Hermetica 是 USDh 的创建者，USDh 是一种由比特币 (BTC) 支持的可产生收益的合成美元，已筹集 170 万美元的种子资金。

The funding round was led by UTXO Management and included participation from CMS Holdings, Ethos Fund, Trust Machines SPV, Newman Capital, and Silvermine.

The new funds will be used to drive the growth of USDh, which is being issued natively on Bitcoin Layer-1 (L1) via Runes and Layer-2 (L2) through Stacks.

新资金将用于推动 USDh 的增长，USDh 通过 Runes 在比特币第 1 层 (L1) 上本地发行，并通过 Stacks 在第 2 层 (L2) 上本地发行。

Available on decentralized exchanges (DEX), USDh taps into the flourishing stablecoin market, which has seen over 100% growth year-over-year, reaching more than $160 billion and accounting for half of all on-chain transactions.

USDh 可在去中心化交易所 (DEX) 上使用，进入蓬勃发展的稳定币市场，该市场同比增长超过 100%，达到超过 1600 亿美元，占所有链上交易的一半。

Despite an impressive $1.3-trillion market cap, less than 1% of BTC is used in decentralized finance (DeFi), leaving a $1 trillion market for USDh holders to explore.

尽管市值达到令人印象深刻的 1.3 万亿美元，但只有不到 1% 的 BTC 用于去中心化金融（DeFi），这为 USDh 持有者留下了 1 万亿美元的市场有待探索。

By creating a stable, liquid dollar asset that can be redeemed for BTC, Hermetica aims to provide BTC holders with a way of holding dollars within the ecosystem securely.

通过创建可兑换 BTC 的稳定、流动性美元资产，Hermetica 旨在为 BTC 持有者提供一种在生态系统内安全持有美元的方式。

Hermetica Labs CEO Jakob Schillinger said that stablecoins are at the heart of DeFi systems, adding that “USDh is the ideal Bitcoin-backed stablecoin — capital efficient, independent of the fiat system, and yield-generating.”

Hermetica Labs 首席执行官 Jakob Schillinger 表示，稳定币是 DeFi 系统的核心，并补充道，“USDh 是理想的比特币支持的稳定币——资本效率高，独立于法定系统，并且能产生收益。”

The Managing Partner at Ethos Fund, Simon Shin, said: “We are excited about Hermetica because they are unlocking significant value within the Bitcoin ecosystem with the creation of USDh. We believe their ability to seamlessly integrate stablecoins into Bitcoin’s Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks presents a massive opportunity. USD will become a fundamental tool for Bitcoin users seeking a reliable dollar asset without leaving the ecosystem.”

Ethos Fund 的执行合伙人 Simon Shin 表示：“我们对 Hermetica 感到兴奋，因为他们通过创建 USDh 来释放比特币生态系统中的巨大价值。我们相信他们将稳定币无缝集成到比特币第一层和第二层网络的能力提供了巨大的机会。美元将成为比特币用户在不离开生态系统的情况下寻求可靠美元资产的基本工具。”

The seed funding will help speed up USDh integration across the BTC ecosystem, leading to improved liquidity, institutional custodial partnerships, and scalable off-exchange settlement options.

种子资金将有助于加快 USDh 在 BTC 生态系统中的整合，从而改善流动性、机构托管合作伙伴关系和可扩展的场外结算选项。

In other words, Hermetica aims to offer a decentralized, secure alternative to fiat-backed stablecoins by using Bitcoin’s core strengths.

换句话说，Hermetica 的目标是利用比特币的核心优势，为法币支持的稳定币提供一种去中心化、安全的替代方案。
