Tether 计划利用区块链技术对土耳其硼市场进行代币化

全球最大稳定币 USDT 的发行人 Tether Holdings Ltd. 已向土耳其政府提出了一项雄心勃勃的计划。

Stablecoin giant Tether has reportedly proposed a plan to the Turkish government that aims to “modernize” the country's boron market using blockchain technology.

据报道，稳定币巨头 Tether 向土耳其政府提出了一项计划，旨在利用区块链技术实现该国硼市场的“现代化”。

The proposal involves creating digital tokens backed by borate minerals, a key resource where Turkey controls over 70% of the global supply.

该提案涉及创建由硼酸盐矿物支持的数字代币，硼酸盐矿物是土耳其控制着全球 70% 以上供应的关键资源。

According to people familiar with the matter, Tether pitched the idea to tokenize boron, which is used in various industries like ceramics, fertilizers, and glass production, and is crucial to several technological processes.

据知情人士透露，Tether 提出了将硼代币化的想法，硼用于陶瓷、化肥和玻璃生产等多种行业，对多种技术流程至关重要。

In addition to the tokenization proposal, the company has also raised the possibility of establishing a digital asset exchange in Istanbul, Turkey's financial hub.

除了代币化提案外，该公司还提出了在土耳其金融中心伊斯坦布尔建立数字资产交易所的可能性。

The proposal comes as Turkey is projecting to generate $1.3 billion in boron sales by 2024. The government is aiming to tap into innovative technologies to boost economic growth.

该提议出台之际，土耳其预计到 2024 年硼销售额将达到 13 亿美元。政府的目标是利用创新技术来促进经济增长。

While the specific benefits of Tether's proposal remain unclear, the company's interest in Turkey is not entirely unexpected. Turkey has emerged as an attractive market for digital assets, especially due to high inflation and the declining value of the Turkish lira, which has led to increased crypto adoption.

虽然 Tether 提议的具体好处尚不清楚，但该公司对土耳其的兴趣并不完全出乎意料。土耳其已成为数字资产有吸引力的市场，特别是由于高通胀和土耳其里拉贬值，导致加密货币采用率增加。

Moreover, being naturally abundant in Turkey, boron presents an intriguing choice for Tether's tokenization efforts. Eti Maden Isletmeleri Genel Mudurlugu, Turkey's state-owned mining company, manages the country's boron reserves.

此外，硼在土耳其天然丰富，因此为 Tether 的代币化工作提供了一个有趣的选择。艾梯麦矿业集团 (Eti Maden Isletmeleri Genel Mudurlugu) 是土耳其国有矿业公司，管理着该国的硼储量。

The government's control over this valuable resource could make it an ideal candidate for blockchain-based solutions.

政府对这一宝贵资源的控制可能使其成为基于区块链的解决方案的理想候选者。

The Turkish government has not yet committed to the proposal, but discussions are ongoing, with key meetings between Tether officials and senior Turkish figures, including Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz and Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar.

土耳其政府尚未对该提案做出承诺，但讨论仍在进行中，Tether 官员与土耳其高级官员（包括副总统 Cevdet Yilmaz 和能源部长 Alparslan Bayraktar）之间举行了重要会议。

A Turkish government official has noted that the idea is still in its early stages and may not be implemented immediately. Meanwhile, a Turkey's Energy Ministry representative confirmed that the discussions with Tether are ongoing, though no concrete plans have been confirmed yet.

一名土耳其政府官员指出，这一想法仍处于早期阶段，可能不会立即实施。与此同时，土耳其能源部代表证实，与 Tether 的讨论正在进行中，但尚未确认具体计划。

In a statement, Tether's CEO Paolo Ardoino also expressed the company's interest in supporting innovation in Turkey's digital-asset ecosystem, saying:

Tether 首席执行官 Paolo Ardoino 在一份声明中也表达了该公司支持土耳其数字资产生态系统创新的兴趣，他表示：

“Tether is deeply committed to fostering innovation in Turkey's digital-asset landscape and keen to continue exploring new opportunities for growth.”

“Tether 坚定致力于促进土耳其数字资产领域的创新，并热衷于继续探索新的增长机会。”
