Arc 代币预售获得 2.22 亿美元融资，Circle (CRCL) 股价飙升

Circle 向区块链基础设施领域的战略扩张得到了重大验证，这家稳定币巨头通过 Arc 代币预售筹集了 2.22 亿美元资金。本轮融资对 Arc 的估值为 30 亿美元，与 Circle 已建立的 USDC 稳定币业务一起建立了互补的收入渠道。 Simultaneously, robust USDC transaction metrics contributed to the company exceeding first-quarter profit expectations. CRCL shares traded at $113.81, registering a 0.13% intraday increase. Circle 互联网集团、CRCL Circle 公布的第一季度财务业绩超出了华尔街的预期，这得益于 USDC 在各个区块链生态系统中的使用不断扩大。 The stablecoin issuer achieved earnings per share of 21 cents, exceeding the consensus estimate of 17 cents. Conversely, revenue totaled $694 million, falling short of analyst forecasts.尽管收入未达标，但 Circle 的收入同比增长了 20%，这表明对其旗舰稳定币产品的兴趣一致。 Adjusted Ebitda increased 24% to reach $151 million, supported by elevated transactional engagement. USDC continued to serve as the primary contributor to Circle’s revenue generation. The company’s transition to public markets has enhanced transparency around its growth initiatives.虽然 Circle 仍然严重依赖 USDC 储备资产产生的利息收入，但 Arc 代表了一个战略机会，可以在未来几个季度通过交易费用、质押奖励和验证器运营来获取额外收入。 Onchain transaction volume for USDC exploded by over 260% compared to the prior year’s quarter. Total volume reached $21.5 trillion, demonstrating broader adoption in payment processing and financial settlement applications. Circulating USDC supply expanded 28% to hit $77 billion. These metrics underscore the accelerating adoption of stablecoins within digital commerce and institutional financial services. Circle has positioned USDC as a compliance-focused, dollar-pegged digital asset supporting global blockchain-based transactions. The company actively promotes USDC as foundational technology for decentralized finance ecosystems. USDC maintains its position as the second-largest stablecoin globally by market capitalization. The competitive landscape prioritizes transaction efficiency, liquidity depth, and institutional confidence. Circle 对监管合规性的重视使其在为银行机构、金融科技公司和加密货币交易所提供服务的提供商中脱颖而出。 Circle successfully concluded a $222 million presale of Arc’s native cryptocurrency tokens ahead of the blockchain’s mainnet deployment. Andreessen Horowitz anchored the investment round with a $75 million allocation. Additional strategic investors included BlackRock, Apollo Funds, ICE, Standard Chartered Ventures, ARK Invest, and Janus Henderson. Arc functions as a layer 1 blockchain protocol optimized for stablecoin transactions and institutional-grade settlement operations. The network enables gas fee payments in stablecoins and achieves sub-second transaction finality. During its initial 90-day public testnet phase, Arc processed over 150 million transactions. Circle has established a total token supply of 10 billion for the Arc ecosystem. The distribution framework allocates 60% to network participants, developers, and ecosystem contributors. Circle retains 25% of the supply, with the remaining 15% designated for long-term reserve purposes. This presale represents a pivotal development in Circle’s evolution beyond pure stablecoin issuance. Arc positions the company as an active participant in blockchain infrastructure development, extending beyond token circulation. Consequently, CRCL stock performance becomes tied to both USDC market penetration and Arc network utilization metrics.
