SBI VC贸易成为第一家获得处理离岸稳定的许可证的公司

今天，日本SBI Holdings的加密货币交易所子公司SBI VC Trade表示，它已成为第一家获得许可的日本公司的“电子支付”

Today SBI VC Trade, a cryptocurrency exchange subsidiary of Japan’s SBI Holdings (6578) , said it has become the first Japanese firm to be licensed as an “Electronic Payment Instruments Exchange Service Provider”. The license is required to handle offshore stablecoins such as Circle’s USDC. SBI and Circle (NYSE:COIN) recently announced a collaboration to launch the latter’s USDC stablecoin in Japan.

如今，日本SBI Holdings（6578）的加密货币交易所子公司SBI VC Trade表示，它已成为第一家获得许可为“电子支付工具交易工具服务提供商”的日本公司。需要许可证以处理诸如Circle USDC之类的海上Stablecoins。 SBI和Circle（NYSE：COIN）最近宣布了一项合作，以在日本推出后者的USDC Stablecoin。

SBI VC Trade is already licensed as a crypto exchange and for securities business. It plans to start a beta version of USDC services in ten days.

SBI VC贸易已经被许可为加密交易所和证券业务。它计划在十天内启动Beta版本的USDC服务。

The move is notable for two reasons. Firstly, the USD – Yen exchange rate is an important one. To date stablecoins have mainly been used for crypto transactions and for emerging market residents to hold dollars. It has also been used for cross border payments, again mainly in emerging markets.

此举值得注意，原因有两个。首先，美元 - 日元汇率是重要的。迄今为止，Stablecoins主要用于加密交易，以及新兴市场居民持有美元。它也已用于跨境支付，主要是在新兴市场中。

On the other hand, according to Swift, the Yen is the fifth most widely used currency for cross border payments, and ranks third (5.42%) if you exclude transactions between European firms.

另一方面，根据Swift的说法，日元是跨境支付的第五货币，如果您排除欧洲公司之间的交易，则排名第三（5.42％）。

Many are more skeptical about the utility of stablecoins for cross border payments between developed economies, particularly the US and Europe. It remains to be seen if the same applies to Japan.

许多人对稳定的经济体（尤其是美国和欧洲之间的跨境支付）的效用更加怀疑。是否适用于日本，还有待观察。

Clearly stablecoins have potential in foreign exchange, especially at the retail level.

显然，稳定的股币具有外汇潜力，尤其是在零售水平上。

While SBI VC Trade is a crypto exchange, several organizations in the Japanese payments sector are also interested in stablecoins for cross border payments.

尽管SBI VC贸易是加密交易所，但日本支付部门的几个组织也对STABLECOIN感兴趣进行跨境支付。

Japan’s largest bank, MUFG (8306) , is currently trialing stablecoins as an invisible backend alternative to Swift for cross border payments, alongside the other big three banks. In addition, MUFG co-founded Progmat Coin with SBI. Progmat is exploring stablecoins for various types of cross border payments, such as trade in emerging markets. Progmat also has a collaboration with Japanese stablecoin issuer JPYC, which applied for the same electronic payment instrument license.

日本最大的银行MUFG（8306）目前正在试用Stablecoins作为Swift的无形后端替代跨境支付的替代品，以及其他三大银行。另外，MUFG与SBI共同创建了Progmat硬币。 Progmat正在探索各种类型的跨境支付（例如新兴市场贸易）的稳定币。 Progmat还与日本Stablecoin发行人JPYC合作，该发行人申请了相同的电子支付仪器许可证。

Soramitsu is exploring cross border payments by integrating stablecoins with Cambodia’s Bakong digital payment system, which Soramitsu developed.

Soramitsu正在通过将Stablecoins与Soramitsu开发的Bakong数字支付系统相结合，来探索跨境付款。

Ironically, the largest Yen stablecoin wasn't issued in Japan. It was launched by the New York registered trust GMO-Z which issues the GYen (Market cap: $10m) and ZUSD (market cap: $18m) stablecoins. GMO-Z is part of Japan’s GMO Internet (7680) Group.

具有讽刺意味的是，日元最大的日元stablecoin不是在日本发行的。它是由纽约注册信托GMO-Z推出的，该信托Z发行了Gyen（市值：1000万美元）和ZUSD（市值：1800万美元）Stablecoins。 GMO-Z是日本GMO Internet（7680）组的一部分。
