Circle's USD Coin (USDC) is officially launching in Japan on March 26, 2025, marking a key moment for the Japanese crypto market.

Circle的美元硬币（USDC）于2025年3月26日在日本正式推出，这标志着日本加密货币市场的关键时刻。

The approval process wasn't quick. It took two years of discussion with regulators, banking partners, and industry players to get here.

批准过程并不快。与监管机构，银行合作伙伴和行业参与者进行了两年的讨论，才能到达这里。

After SBI VC Trade, a cryptocurrency exchange owned by Japanese financial giant SBI Holdings, received approval to list USDC, the brightest minds in the Japanese crypto scene have come together to bring this vision to life.

在SBI VC Trade之后，日本金融巨头SBI Holdings拥有的加密货币交易所获得了批准以列出USDC，日本加密货币场景中最聪明的头脑已经融合在一起，使这一愿景栩栩如生。

This makes USDC the first global dollar stablecoin approved for use in Japan.

这使USDC成为批准在日本使用的首个全球美元Stablecoin。

SBI VC Trade will be the first exchange to list USDC, but the expansion is already planned.

SBI VC贸易将是第一个列出USDC的交易所，但已经计划进行扩展。

Specifically, Binance Japan, bitbank, and bitFlyer also plan to list and distribute USDC in the near future.

具体来说，日本二元，比特班克和Bitflyer也计划在不久的将来列出和分发USDC。

These are major players in Japan's crypto ecosystem.

这些是日本加密生态系统中的主要参与者。

Bitbank and bitFlyer are among the country's largest exchanges, processing more than $25 million each per day with over 1.85 million monthly website visits.

Bitbank和Bitflyer是该国最大的交易所之一，每天处理超过2500万美元，每月访问超过185万美元。

To support local operations, Circle has established Circle Japan KK. This entity will work closely with SBI through a joint venture announced in 2023.

为了支持当地运营，Circle已建立了Circle Japan KK。该实体将通过2023年宣布的合资企业与SBI紧密合作。

The partnership aims to combine USDC distribution with banking and Web3 technology for the Japanese market.

该合作伙伴关系旨在将USDC分销与日本市场的银行和Web3技术相结合。

This partnership was forged in December 2022 when SBI Group announced plans to offer a tokenized version of its wholly owned bank, holding a third-party fiduciary to manage the tokens.

该合作伙伴关系于2022年12月建立，当时SBI集团宣布计划提供其全资银行的令牌版本，并持有第三方受托人来管理代币。

This move signaled a broader shift in Japan's financial landscape as the country continues to integrate digital assets into its mainstream financial system.

此举表明，随着该国继续将数字资产纳入其主流金融体系，日本金融环境发生了更大的转变。

This initiative aligns with Japan's broader agenda for advancing blockchain-based finance.

该计划与日本更广泛的议程相吻合，以推进基于区块链的财务。

Highlighting the partnership, Yoshitaka Kitao, CEO and president of SBI Holdings, said the launch would "enhance financial accessibility and drive crypto innovation" in Japan's evolving digital economy.

SBI Holdings的首席执行官兼总裁吉托（Yoshitaka Kitao）表示，该伙伴关系将在日本不断发展的数字经济中“增强财务可及性并推动加密创新”。

"We are excited to bring this innovation to the Japanese market," said Allaire.

Allaire说：“我们很高兴能将这项创新带入日本市场。”

"This initiative will unlock tremendous opportunities not just in trading digital assets, but more broadly in payments, cross border finance and commerce, FX, and Web3 services and applications."

“这项倡议将不仅在交易数字资产方面释放巨大的机会，而且在付款，跨境融资和商业，FX以及Web3服务和应用程序方面更广泛地释放了巨大的机会。”

This development comes at an interesting time for Japan's currency. The continued weakening of the Japanese yen against the US dollar creates unique market dynamics.

这一发展是一个有趣的日本货币时刻。日元对美元的日元继续削弱，创造了独特的市场动态。

If the yen continues to show weakness, Japanese investors might turn to USDC as a hedge, which could potentially "increase selling pressure on JPY," according to Jay Jo, a senior research analyst at Tiger Research.

Tiger Research的高级研究分析师杰伊·乔（Jay Jo）表示，如果日元继续表现出弱点，那么日元可能会作为对冲，这可能会“增加对JPY的销售压力”。

Easy access to dollar-denominated assets might accelerate outflows from traditional yen investments, especially if interest rate differentials remain wide.

容易获得以美元计价的资产来加速传统日元投资的流出，尤其是在利率差异仍然很大的情况下。

This could have broader implications for the yen's exchange rate in the long term.

从长远来看，这可能对日元的汇率具有更大的影响。

"The move by Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) to approve SBI to list USD Coin (USDC) is a significant step in the integration of digital assets into the country's financial system," said Jo.

乔说：“日本金融服务局（FSA）批准SBI列出美元硬币（USDC）的举动是将数字资产集成到该国金融体系中的重要一步。”

"It also marks a key development for the global stablecoin market, as USDC becomes the first global dollar stablecoin approved for use in Japan after two years of discussions and cooperation between government agencies, commercial banks, and industry players."

“这也标志着全球Stablecoin市场的一个关键发展，因为在政府机构，商业银行和行业参与者之间进行了两年的讨论和合作，USDC成为了在日本使用的首个全球美元Stablecoin。”

The approval process was a collective effort involving regulators, banking partners, and industry players, assembling over two years to navigate legal and technical complexities.

批准过程是一项集体努力，涉及监管机构，银行合作伙伴和行业参与者，他们组装了两年以上，以探讨法律和技术复杂性。

This collaboration was crucial in setting the stage for USDC's launch in Japan.

这项合作对于为USDC在日本推出的舞台至关重要。

The move is part of Japan's broader strategy to foster innovation in its financial sector and strengthen the competitiveness of its economy on the global stage.

此举是日本在其金融领域促进创新并增强其在全球舞台上经济的竞争力的更广泛战略的一部分。

The country has been actively exploring and introducing new technologies, particularly in the realm of digital assets.

该国一直在积极探索和介绍新技术，尤其是在数字资产领域。

As Japan continues to adapt to the evolving landscape of finance and technology, the launch of USDC marks a significant milestone in the country's journey towards a more integrated and interconnected financial system.
