SBI VC Trade, a subsidiary of SBI Group and the crypto arm of the Japanese financial giant, has registered as an “Electronic Payment Service Provider” with the Financial Services Agency (FSA).

SBI VC Trade是SBI集团的子公司和日本金融巨头的加密货币部门，已在金融服务局（FSA）注册为“电子支付服务提供商”。

The registration, announced by SBI on Tuesday, makes it the first company in Japan to be authorized to process transactions for USD Coin (USDC) stablecoin.

SBI周二宣布的注册使其成为日本第一家被授权处理USD Coin（USDC）Stablecoin交易的公司。

The company will launch a beta version of USDC-related services for a limited number of users on March 12, following system maintenance.

该公司将于3月12日在系统维护之后，于3月12日为有限数量的用户启动Beta版本的Beta版本。

“SBI VC Trade will be applying for the necessary registrations to enable full-scale rollout of USDC transactions as quickly as possible,” the company stated in a press release.

该公司在新闻稿中说：“ SBI VC贸易将申请必要的注册，以尽快使USDC交易的全面推出。”

The development follows SBI Group’s agreement with Circle, the issuer of USDC, in March 2023 for a broader business partnership.

该开发项目是在2023年3月与USDC的发行人Circle达成协议之后，建立了更广泛的业务合作伙伴关系。

As part of the collaboration, SBI Shinsei Bank will be offering banking services to Circle, contributing to the accessibility and liquidity of USDC for businesses and individuals in Japan.

作为合作的一部分，SBI Shinsei银行将提供银行服务来绕圈，这为日本企业和个人的USDC的可及性和流动性做出了贡献。

Moreover, SBI Group is set to integrate Circle’s Web3 solutions, such as programmable wallets, blockchain infrastructure, and smart contract management tools, as part of its digital asset strategy.

此外，SBI集团将集成Circle的Web3解决方案，例如可编程钱包，区块链基础架构和智能合同管理工具，作为其数字资产策略的一部分。

The news comes as USD Coin (USDC) has been rapidly recovering the losses it sustained during the most recent bear market and reached a new market capitalization high of $56.3 billion by February.

该消息传来，因为美元硬币（USDC）一直在迅速收回其在最近的熊市中遭受的损失，并在2月到达了563亿美元的新市值。

As reported by Token Terminal data, USDC's market cap experienced a 23.4% jump, climbing from $45.6 billion to its lowest point of $24.1 billion in November 2023.

正如Token终端数据所报道的那样，USDC的市值跃升了23.4％，从456亿美元攀升至2023年11月的241亿美元的最低点。

The comeback can be attributed to Circle's expansion to more blockchains like Sui and Aptos and the minting of $6 billion USDC on Solana in January 2025.

卷土重来可以归因于Circle扩展到Sui和Aptos等更多区块链，以及2025年1月在Solana上的60亿美元的造币。

Despite the significant recovery, USDC remains the second-largest stablecoin, with Tether's USDT still holding the top spot with a market capitalization of $141.6 billion as of February 10. Over the past 30 days, USDT has seen an addition of $4 billion to its market cap.

尽管恢复了大量恢复，但USDC仍然是第二大Stablecoin，截至2月10日，Tether的USDT仍然以1,416亿美元的市值占据了最高位置。在过去的30天中，USDT在其市值中增加了40亿美元。

According to DefiLlama data, USDT continues to dominate the stablecoin market with a 63% share, though USDC's share has grown to 25%, up from 19.4% a year ago.

根据Defillama数据，USDT继续以63％的份额在Stablecoin市场中占据主导地位，尽管USDC的份额已增长到25％，高于一年前的19.4％。

Stablecoins have also taken center stage in U.S. policy discussions under President Donald Trump's administration, with regulators considering new frameworks for digital dollar alternatives.

稳定币还在唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统的政府领导下的美国政策讨论中占据了中心地位，监管机构正在考虑使用数字美元替代方案的新框架。

White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks has argued that stablecoins could “extend the dollar’s dominance internationally and digitally,” stressing that the administration seeks to promote stablecoin within the U.S.

白宫AI和Crypto沙皇大卫·萨克斯（David Sacks）辩称，斯塔布莱币可以“在国际和数字上扩大美元的统治地位”，强调政府试图促进美国境内的Stablecoin

The overall stablecoin market cap grew from $121 billion in August 2023 to $224 billion as of February, highlighting the increasing demand for dollar-linked digital assets and their integration into financial markets.

整个Stablecoin市值从2023年8月的1,210亿美元增长到2月的2240亿美元，强调了对美元挂钩数字资产的需求不断增长及其融入金融市场的需求。
