重项目关闭了4000万美元系列A融资，由Lightspeed领导

总部位于香港的加密付款平台Redotpay关闭了由Lightspeed领导的4000万美元系列A融资，HSG和Galaxy Ventures的参与。

Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency payment platform RedotPay has reportedly closed a $40 million Series A funding round led by Lightspeed, with participation from HSG and Galaxy Ventures, Singapore-based vernacular e-commerce publication Today reports.

据报道，总部位于香港的加密货币支付平台Redotpay已关闭了由Lightspeed领导的4000万美元的A系列资金回合，并从HSG和Galaxy Ventures参与，这是新加坡的Vernacular E-Commercey Publication。

The startup aims to facilitate the use of cryptocurrency in everyday transactions, simplifying blockchain transactions for spenders, similar to how they use fiat.

该创业公司旨在促进在日常交易中使用加密货币，简化用于支出者的区块链交易，类似于他们使用法定方式。

In November 2023, RedotPay launched its own physical Visa cards, which can be used for ATM cash withdrawals, along with a virtual card that supports digital payment services like Apple Pay and Google Pay.

2023年11月，RedOtpay推出了自己的实体签证卡，可用于ATM现金提取，以及支持Apple Pay和Google Pay等数字支付服务的虚拟卡。

The company has been expanding its blockchain integrations, adding Solana in December 2024 and Ethereum layer 2 Arbitrum in February. It has also partnered with StraitX and Visa to support retail crypto payments in Singapore.

该公司一直在扩展其区块链集成，并于2024年12月增加了Solana和2月以太坊第2层仲裁。它还与Straitx和Visa合作，以支持新加坡的零售加密货币付款。

Still, RedotPay appears to have cross-border service restrictions. Visitors outside Hong Kong are greeted with a warning when accessing the company’s website.

尽管如此，重项目似乎具有跨境服务限制。访问公司网站时，香港以外的游客会受到警告。

Crypto payments options rising in Asia, with stablecoins at the forefront

加密付款选项在亚洲上升，Stablecoins处于最前沿

Direct cryptocurrency payment solutions are becoming increasingly popular in Asia. Back in November 2024, Singapore-based digital asset trading platform Crypto.com announced a partnership with Triple-A to introduce a service that enables merchants to accept direct crypto payments.

直接的加密货币支付解决方案在亚洲变得越来越流行。早在2024年11月，总部位于新加坡的数字资产交易平台Crypto.com宣布与Triple-A建立合作伙伴关系，以引入一项服务，使商人能够接受直接的加密付款。

This partnership aimed to simplify the process of accepting cryptocurrency payments for businesses, eliminating the need for conversion to fiat currency.

该合作伙伴关系旨在简化接受企业的加密货币支付的过程，从而消除了转换为菲亚特货币的需求。

Hong Kong is home to several companies operating in the crypto payments space. Another notable startup, Infini, focuses on stablecoins and provides payment services while offering an opportunity for users to earn interest (yield) on their cryptocurrency.

香港是在加密货币支付领域运营的几家公司的所在地。另一家著名的创业公司Infini专注于Stablecoins，并提供付款服务，同时为用户提供了在其加密货币上赚取利息（收益）的机会。

Earlier this year, Infini fell victim to a $50 million exploit. The incident allegedly involved a rogue developer who maliciously swapped a large sum of USDC for DAI—a decentralized stablecoin that cannot be frozen, unlike its centralized counterparts.

今年早些时候，Infini成为了5000万美元的利用受害者。据称，该事件涉及一名流氓开发商，他恶意将大量USDC换成了DAI，这是一种无法冻结的分散的Stablecoin，与其集中式同行不同。

In contrast to the price volatility of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) or Ether (ETH), stablecoins provide a more stable and consistent option for those who prefer to use them for regular transactions or for holding value.

与比特币（BTC）或Ether（ETH）等加密货币的价格波动相反，稳定的稳定性为那些更愿意将其用于常规交易或保持价值的人提供了更稳定，更一致的选择。

The article also mentions that Japan, the second-largest Asian economy by GDP, is making significant progress in adopting stablecoins.

该文章还提到，日本是GDP的第二大亚洲经济，在采用稳定的人方面取得了重大进展。

According to a recent report by Tokyo-based research and consulting firm Yuri Group, shared with Cointelegraph Magazine, the Japanese government views stablecoins as a crucial factor that could unlock an estimated $14 trillion in household savings.

根据与CoIntelegraph杂志共享的总部位于东京的研究和咨询公司Yuri Group的最新报告，日本政府认为Stablecoins是一个至关重要的因素，可以释放约14万亿美元的家庭储蓄。

This report highlights Progmat as a key player in Japan’s digital asset ecosystem. Backed by the nation’s largest bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Progmat operates in strict adherence to Japan’s regulatory framework, which mandates a 1:1 reserve backing for stablecoins. This ensures that Japan’s established financial institutions remain at the forefront of managing digital assets.

该报告强调了Progmat是日本数字资产生态系统中的关键参与者。在美国最大的银行的支持下，三菱UFJ Progmat严格遵守日本的监管框架，该框架规定了稳定股份的1：1储备金。这样可以确保日本既定的金融机构仍然处于管理数字资产的最前沿。

In another development, China, Asia’s largest economy, has banned cryptocurrency trading and only recognizes the renminbi as the country’s legal tender.

在另一个发展中，亚洲最大的经济体中国已禁止加密货币交易，仅承认人民币是该国的法定货币。
