全球支付大变革:Circle预测稳定币将成为新一代货币

Circle 预测稳定币将成为主流的全球支付方式

稳定币发行商 Circle 预计,互联网支付公司和其他金融服务公司将尝试进入或扩展这一领域。

作为全球第二大稳定币 USDC 的发行商,Circle 对稳定币将成为主流货币感到“自信”。同时,全球应协调法规,以确保所有支付稳定币发行商的合规性。

“Circle 自信稳定币将作为互联网时代的货币被主流采用,”Circle 首席战略官兼全球政策负责人 Dante Disparte 在 Cointelegraph 的独家采访中表示。

Disparte 指出:“我们预计,互联网支付公司和其他金融服务公司将尝试进入或扩展这一领域,这是稳定币将长期存在的强烈信号。”

然而,Disparte 认为,同样重要的是全球应协调相关的规则和法规。他表示,保守储备和金融犯罪合规的基本原则应该同样适用于任何声称发行支付稳定币的公司。

Circle 迁往纽约

Disparte 的评论正值该稳定币发行商计划于 2025 年初将全球总部迁至纽约,并在 1 月份提交了首次公开募股(IPO)申请之际。

Disparte 指出,美国的框架授权州银行和资金传输监管机构在州一级发展和监管支付行业。其他国家则在国家层面对支付或电子货币(e-money)活动进行监管。

“现在的一个关键问题是,美国是否最终会颁布联邦稳定币法规,还是继续保持当前不确定的状态,而美国两党政策制定者都认为这种状态是不可接受的,”Disparte 解释道:

“美国缺乏与美元挂钩的稳定币的监管框架,代表着对美国利益的威胁。这一真空可能会激励开发出利用对美元信任的产品,而绕过美国的监管,可能成为非法行为者的避风港。”

Disparte 认为,联邦立法对于支付稳定币至关重要,这将有助于在日益依赖技术的市场中,促进美国人在资金发送、花费、储蓄和保障方面的安全竞争。

他表示,由众议院金融服务委员会于 2023 年 7 月推进的稳定币法案已经产生了显著的政策动能和支持。

“国会应该以两党合作的方式批准该法案,如果该法案送到总统办公桌,应该签署成为法律。这项立法将为所有发行者设定遵守美国反洗钱、反恐融资和制裁义务的底线,”Disparte 说。

他补充道,这些规范应适用于美国支付稳定币发行者,以及他们的国际同行,后者中许多已经获得包括欧盟和阿联酋在内的司法管辖区许可,发行以美元计价的稳定币。

欧盟的 MiCA 2.0 能否填补该制度的空白?

欧盟的《加密资产市场监管条例》(MiCA)部分于 6 月生效,关于稳定币的新规则于 6 月 30 日生效。

7 月 1 日,Circle 宣布它已成为第一个在 MiCA 监管框架下实现合规的全球稳定币发行商,此前它获得了法国银行监管机构颁发的电子货币机构(EMI)许可证。Circle 的 USDC 和 EURC 在新规下均符合监管要求。

“通过 MiCA,欧洲成功地实现了其他司法管辖区,包括美国,尚未实现的目标:为整个数字资产市场提供法律和监管的清晰性,而不仅仅是其中的一部分,”Disparte 说道。然而,他指出:

“像所有新规则或综合性法规一样,MiCA 也存在不完美之处,并且在某些方面过于详细,以至于欧盟政策制定者已经在考虑 MiCA 2.0,可能会填补该制度中的某些空白,比如非同质化代币(NFT)、去中心化金融和其他领域。”

稳定币市场竞争加剧

随着 PayPal 推出的与美元挂钩的稳定币 PayPal USD 进入市场,稳定币市场的竞争正在加剧,该稳定币的市值已超过 10 亿美元。Ripple Labs 也开始在 XRP 分类账和以太坊上测试其与美元挂钩的稳定币 Ripple USD (RLUSD),并计划扩展到更多区块链上。

根据 CoinMarketCap 的数据,Tether 的 USDT 仍是最大的稳定币,市值超过 1180 亿美元。Tether 还宣布计划推出与阿联酋迪拉姆(AED)挂钩的新稳定币。

截至 8 月 26 日,排除算法稳定币的市场总市值创下 1680 亿美元的历史新高。该市场在 2022 年 3 月创下 1670 亿美元的历史高点,但到那年年底降至 1350 亿美元。

Disparte 补充道:“我们欢迎任何竞争者来到美国、欧盟、新加坡等地,接受严格的许可流程,遵循我们公司赖以生存的标准,成为优先合规的公司,以便该生态系统能够长期发展繁荣。”

DeFi Has Reached Its Most Dangerous Moment: The Real Vulnerabilities Are Not in the Code

DeFi in Peril: The Real Vulnerability Isn't in the Code April 2026 marked a paradigm shift in DeFi security, with over $625 million lost across 30 incidents—the worst month in crypto history by event count. Crucially, none of the major exploits (Drift Protocol: $285M, KelpDAO: $292M, Wasabi Protocol: $4.5M) resulted from smart contract vulnerabilities. Instead, failures occurred in the operational "plumbing": social engineering to compromise multi-signature councils, a single-point-of-failure 1-of-1 bridge validator, and stolen admin private keys. These events expose a fundamental misalignment: the industry's security model has long focused on code audits, while the actual attack surface has shifted to privileged access points and off-chain infrastructure. The article introduces the term "OpenFi" to describe this reality: permissionless, on-chain, yet operationally dependent on trusted third parties (admins, validators, oracles) at key junctures. The KelpDAO exploit vividly demonstrated asymmetric "contagion risk." A configuration error in a smaller protocol triggered a panic, causing approximately $13.2 billion in outflows from larger, unaffected protocols like Aave within 48 hours, as users fled uncertain collateral. The core dilemma is the double-edged sword of centralization. Operational levers like emergency councils (e.g., Arbitrum freezing stolen funds post-KelpDAO) enable crisis response but also create catastrophic attack surfaces if compromised (e.g., Drift). The path forward demands radical honesty: protocols must clearly disclose their trust assumptions, operational levers, and failure modes. The industry must treat operational security (key management, configurations, incident response) with the same rigor as code security. Survival depends on building systems whose risks can be understood, priced, and insured, moving beyond the outdated "code is law" mantra to a mature model of disclosed and managed trust.

Vitalik's Article Emphasizes Ethereum Must Be 'Amazing', But Foundation Is Not the Center

Vitalik Buterin has published a lengthy response to recent community criticism directed at the Ethereum Foundation (EF). Acknowledging a sense of "unease," he addresses concerns about the EF's strategic direction, its perceived disconnect from ETH's price performance, and calls for its reduced central role. Vitalik rejects the notion that the EF should be the central governing body of Ethereum, framing it instead as one "node with a clear mandate" among many within the ecosystem. He highlights the EF's limited ETH holdings (≈0.16% of supply) compared to other blockchain foundations and states it will no longer sell significant amounts of ETH. Its future focus will be on long-term, critical projects that align with Ethereum's core values of censorship-resistance and decentralization, which might not otherwise happen. A core argument is that Ethereum must be "amazing," but not by merely chasing higher transaction speeds at the cost of decentralization. He proposes focusing on the "CROPS" dimensions: creating a Cryptographically provable, Reliable, Open, Private, and Secure network. This includes pursuing goals like a formally verifiable, bug-free Ethereum client and minimizing protocol-level reliance on intermediaries. The article concludes by noting that while Vitalik clarifies the EF's refocused role, he does not directly address community suggestions for creating a new organization explicitly aligned with ETH's economic interests. This "alignment gap" is presented as a key challenge for Ethereum's future.

Galxe: How a Quest Platform Evolved into Web3's Growth Infrastructure

Galxe, once perceived as a simple Web3 quest platform, has evolved into a core growth infrastructure within the Web3 ecosystem. It addresses a fundamental Web3 growth dilemma: the lack of a mature, systematic user acquisition and retention system akin to Web2's advertising and analytics platforms. While users complete quests (social tasks, on-chain interactions) for rewards, Galxe's true innovation lies in transforming these fragmented, one-off actions into lasting, verifiable identity credentials. This process of *behavioral assetization* creates a persistent record of a user's activities across projects and chains. For users, their wallet accumulates a valuable history that can unlock future access and rewards, fostering a "profile-building" mentality. For projects, Galxe provides a pre-screened user pool with rich behavioral data, enabling targeted outreach to users based on their specific on-chain history and community engagement. Galxe employs a gamefied growth path, guiding users from low-friction social tasks into deeper, valuable on-chain interactions through a structured progression of quests. This solves the incentive-behavior mismatch common in Web3, filtering users by their willingness to engage. Beyond quests, products like Passport (identity verification) and Starboard (community analytics) position Galxe as a comprehensive growth operating system. The platform's defensible advantage is its self-reinforcing data and network flywheel: more projects attract more users, enriching behavioral data; richer data enables better user targeting, attracting more projects. Ultimately, Galxe is shifting Web3's growth logic from short-term "reward-driven" traffic towards a long-term "identity-driven" relationship model, where a user's accumulated on-chain履历 becomes a core asset.
