Abstract

Circle(Circle)公司正通过其新推出的第一层区块链Arc应对稳定币业务面临的挑战。随着美联储降息导致利息收入减少,以及高昂的分发成本,Circle的业务模式受到挤压。Arc旨在为企业提供跨境支付解决方案,支持亚秒级交易确认、可配置隐私功能,且仅以USDC支付网络费用,避免企业持有其他加密货币。 尽管已与贝莱德、Visa等多家巨头达成测试网合作,Arc仍面临Tether、Stripe等竞争对手的威胁,以及流动性不足、监管审查等风险。但Circle凭借其现有分发渠道、公众声誉和支付网络,仍有机会在稳定币生态中占据重要地位。随着降息周期持续,Arc成为Circle转型的关键赌注。

2026年来了,当我们在与世界各地的人进行视频通话的时候,通话延迟最多只有一两秒,边际成本几乎为零。然而,当涉及到在机构、国家或系统之间转移资金时,我们仍然面临截止时间、过高费用,并且依赖着周末关闭的结算窗口。

加密货币曾承诺通过稳定币来解决这个问题,而稳定币已经存在了十多年。然而,尽管稳定币能带来显著的、可量化的节省,企业和商业机构仍未完全接纳它用于资金转移。

我们曾经讨论过这个问题,以及公链中固有的隐私担忧如何在这里成为阻碍。我们也将隐私基础设施列为2026年值得关注的头号加密货币主题。

稳定币发行商 Circle 已经抓住了这个机会,通过其第一层区块链 Arc,来应对行业对隐私和稳定币基础设施的需求。

在本文的深度分析中,我将解释为什么 Circle 现在要构建一个 L1 区块链,它面临的最大挑战是什么,以及此举可能如何改变稳定币生态系统。

故事开始......

为什么现在推出 L1 区块链?

目前,稳定币发行业务完全由利息收入驱动,并且严重依赖于渠道分发。自去年六月上市以来,通过 USDC 发行商的公开报告,这一点变得更加清晰。

我在去年提到过:

> 在第三季度,尽管 USDC 的流通量同比增长超过 100%,但储备收入仅增长 66%,达到 7.11 亿美元。其余部分被美联储降息所抵消。平均收益率下降 96 个基点,导致 Circle 的储备收入减少了 1.22 亿美元。

> Circle 在第三季度每赚取 1 美元的储备收入,就需要花费超过 60 美分用于分发和交易成本,包括钱包集成、交易所上币、激励计划和收入分成。

美国联邦储备委员会已经开始降息。2025年12月,它将有效利率下调了25个基点至 3.50%–3.75%。央行也宣布于12月1日停止量化紧缩政策。

最近,美国经济也一直在向政策制定者发出信号,表明是时候软化立场以应对不尽人意的数据了。

美国供应管理协会 2025 年 12 月的制造业采购经理人指数为 47.9(低于 50 表示收缩),这是连续第 10 个月收缩。12 月的就业报告将于今天晚些时候公布,但过去几个月的数据一直乏善可陈。

当你把所有这一切放在一起,就能解释为什么 Circle 正在拼命转向新的商业模式。

这家发行商希望减少对短期至中期利率下降的依赖,同时建立一个可以依赖更广泛、更多样化分发渠道的第二引擎。

Arc 转型

Arc 正是 Circle 所依赖的转型方向。

Circle 将 Arc 构建为一个开放的第一层区块链,专为通过稳定币实现企业间的跨境支付而设计。它还旨在提供亚秒级的最终确定性(交易最终确认速度)和可配置的隐私选项,通过选择启用隐私功能来掩盖企业的机密支付数据。

通过从稳定币发行商转变为稳定币结算栈运营商,Circle 的目标是建立其商业模式,让资金以企业关心的方式进行流转。

在测试网阶段,Circle 的 Arc 已经与超过 100 家公司建立了合作伙伴关系,包括传统金融和科技巨头,如贝莱德、亚马逊云科技、汇丰银行、渣打银行和 Visa。

尽管 Arc 仍处于测试网阶段,并且在成功之前将面临一系列挑战(我稍后会讨论),但考虑到其推出的时机和它旨在解决的问题,我认为此举很有趣。

首先,以原生代币收取 Gas 费(网络手续费)。Arc 的设计理念是以 USDC 收取低廉、可预测且以美元计价的交易费。这消除了企业财务部门仅为支付交易费而持有 ETH、SOL 或任何其他加密货币的需要。

其次,Arc 提供亚秒级最终确定性和 24/7 全天候开放的结算窗口。首席财务官们不会像交易员那样在意削减几毫秒的时间,但如果因为遇到周末或跨境中介链而导致他们在点击“发送”后付款无法结算,他们会夜不能寐。

第三,可能也是最重要的一点,是 Arc 提供可配置的隐私。通过明确提供选择加入的隐私功能,它弥合了公链内置透明度与企业确保敏感信息(如 B2B 供应商发票、资金转账和工资结算)机密性需求之间的差距。

最有趣的是,所有这些功能都不要求利益相关者接受加密货币的意识形态。相反,Arc 去除了企业不喜欢的加密特性,例如绝对透明、费用波动和不确定的结算,使区块链能够在主流商业领域中使用。

但是,Circle 不能在现有链上构建这些功能吗?为什么要建立自己的区块链?

Circle 一直以来都是在“租用场地”。在别人的链上,Circle 将被迫继承他们的费用代币,与其他参与者争夺网络资源而面临拥堵,遵循他们的治理规则,并受制于他们的网络中断风险。它还会因为无法用 USDC 收取费用而损失整个收入流。Circle 已经为在其他平台上扩大 USDC 的覆盖范围支付了分发成本。通过推出自己的链,它希望拥有“场地”,并通过向所有使用其基础设施的人提供“空间”来赚取“租金”。

然而,这并非一场轻松获胜的比赛。Circle 身后不乏虎视眈眈的竞争者。

在发行商方面,Tether 仍然是最大的威胁,在全球范围内拥有最高的流动性。它还推出了监管友好的稳定币 USAT,以加强其在美国市场的存在感。

除了发行商,像 Stripe 这样的玩家也构成了威胁,他们正在构建与 Circle 通过 Arc 所做的类似的东西。

2025年9月,Stripe 和 Paradigm 宣布了 Tempo,一个围绕稳定币构建的支付优先区块链。Tempo 的架构允许使用任何稳定币支付 Gas 费,并且同样旨在实现亚秒级最终确定性。

除了外部威胁,Arc 本身也可能出现很多问题。

它可能在吸引流动性和开发者方面面临冷启动困难。企业不会仅仅因为 Arc 在纸面上看起来最好就选择 Circle 的 Arc。许多企业已经在使用传统的支付平台,例如 PayPal,并且会更倾向于使用那些已经拥有交易对手方和集成服务的平台。

Arc 的“可配置隐私”将是一个有争议的话题。选择加入的功能给了企业他们想要的东西,但这也将吸引监管机构的目光。Arc 必须向市场证明,这里的隐私意味着“具有可审计性的商业机密性”,而不仅仅是一个可能产生新漏洞的盲点。

尽管存在这些障碍,我对 Circle 的机会持乐观态度,原因有二。

首先是其分发渠道和声誉。Circle 不需要向市场证明 USDC 是真正的美元代币。它已经嵌入在无数的交易所、钱包、金融科技流程中,并且越来越多地进入机构管道。现在 Circle 是一家上市公司,其举措看起来与任何其他加密公司都不同。其公众声誉为其推出的产品带来了可信度。这也迫使 Circle 以能够向董事会里的合规和财务团队解释清楚的方式来构建 Arc。

第二是 Circle 支付网络。与 Arc 相结合,它可以建立一个由机构和支付通道组成的网络,在合规框架内执行现实世界的交易。

Arc 仍可能失败。但它还有其他选择吗?随着降息时代正式来临,并且新的一年很可能有更多降息,对于一个面临激烈竞争的发行商来说,这是唯一合理的选择。

Warsh's Debut: Will the FED Chair Who Knows Crypto Best Bring Surprises or Shocks to the Market?

Kevin Warsh, the new Federal Reserve Chairman, prepares for his inaugural press conference amidst a challenging macroeconomic landscape: resurgent inflation, a bond market sell-off, and political pressure from President Trump for rate cuts. Uniquely, Warsh holds indirect investments in over 20 crypto and Web3 entities (e.g., Solana, dYdX), making him the first Fed Chair with disclosed crypto exposure. His stance may combine a hawkish, inflation-focused monetary policy with a crypto-friendly regulatory philosophy that shifts from Powell’s “same risk, same rule” approach toward a framework acknowledging blockchain’s productivity value. Warsh’s leadership could impact crypto markets across three dimensions: a paradigm shift in regulation (potentially accelerating pro-innovation legislation and stable币 rules), a re-pricing of risk premiums based on clearer communication and his view of AI as a structural disinflationary force, and a long-term reallocation of global institutional capital driven by increased legitimacy. Two potential scenarios for the press conference are outlined. A “positive surprise” would involve a dovish-leaning tone on rates coupled with signals of regulatory openness, potentially boosting crypto asset valuations. Conversely, a “negative shock” would see a more hawkish-than-expected stance on inflation and rates, triggering a broad risk-asset selloff that crypto markets would not escape. While ethics rules required Warsh to divest his crypto holdings upon confirmation, his deep understanding of the technology may fundamentally lower policy uncertainty and build a more receptive long-term foundation for digital assets’ integration into the mainstream financial system.

What is CRMON

Salesforce Tokenized Stock (Ondo): Revolutionising Traditional Equity Access Through Blockchain Innovation The emergence of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) marks a pivotal advancement in integrating traditional financial markets with blockchain technology. This innovative approach offers investors unprecedented access to equity exposure through tokenisation. Developed by Ondo Finance, CRMON provides tokenholders with economic exposure equivalent to holding Salesforce stock (CRM) while automatically reinvesting dividends. This effectively bridges the gap between conventional equity markets and decentralised finance (DeFi). Introduction and Comprehensive Overview of Salesforce Tokenized Stock In recent years, the financial landscape has dramatically transformed due to blockchain technology, fundamentally altering how investors access and interact with traditional assets. The development of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) is a prime example of this evolution, representing a sophisticated fusion of conventional equity markets with cutting-edge distributed ledger technology. CRMON is a tokenised version of Salesforce stock, emerging from the innovative work of Ondo Finance, a leading platform in the real-world asset tokenisation sector that positions itself as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralised systems. Designed to provide tokenholders with economic exposure that mirrors the performance of the underlying Salesforce stock, CRMON incorporates automatic dividend reinvestment mechanisms. This eliminates many traditional barriers associated with international equity investment, such as complex brokerage relationships, currency conversion challenges, and restricted trading hours. The tokenisation process reimagines stock ownership as a blockchain-native asset while maintaining its economic equivalence with the underlying security, offering enhanced portability and integration capabilities within decentralised finance ecosystems. CRMON transcends its individual utility as an investment instrument to represent a fundamental shift in how financial markets can operate in an increasingly digital world. By maintaining full backing through U.S.-registered broker-dealers and implementing robust compliance frameworks, CRMON demonstrates that tokenised securities can achieve the regulatory standards necessary for institutional adoption while delivering the technological advantages of blockchain infrastructure. Understanding Tokenized Real-World Assets and CRMON's Strategic Position Tokenised real-world assets signify one of the most significant innovations in modern finance, fundamentally reimagining how traditional securities are represented, traded, and utilised within digital ecosystems. CRMON operates as a tokenised equity instrument correlating directly with Salesforce stock while optimising accessibility and efficiency. This aligns with Ondo Finance's broader mission to democratise access to institutional-grade financial products through innovative tokenisation strategies. The tokenisation process guarantees complete economic equivalence with the underlying Salesforce equity. Each CRMON token represents a proportional claim on Salesforce stock held by qualified custodians, with dividend payments automatically reinvested to maintain continuous exposure to total return performance. This structure simplifies dividend management and ensures that tokenholders receive the full economic benefit of their equity exposure, encompassing both capital appreciation and income generation. Ondo Finance's strategy in tokenising Salesforce stock demonstrates its expertise in creating compliant, institutional-grade products that meet traditional financial markets' stringent requirements. The platform’s focus on merging regulatory compliance with blockchain benefits positions it at the forefront of decentralised finance, captivating both institutional and retail investors seeking blockchain-native solutions. The Technology and Innovation Framework Behind CRMON The technological infrastructure supporting CRMON integrates blockchain technology with traditional financial mechanisms, delivering institutional-grade security and compliance while maintaining the operational advantages of decentralised systems. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, CRMON utilises robust smart contract capabilities to ensure transparent, secure operations. The smart contract architecture incorporates layered security and compliance mechanisms, enabling automated compliance checks and real-time asset backing verification. Integration with oracle services maintains accurate pricing and dividend information, ensuring CRMON reflects the underlying Salesforce stock's accurate performance. This architecture delivers automated dividend reinvestments and other corporate actions, eliminating manual processing requirements and directly enhancing tokenholder benefits. Ondo Finance ensures CRMON's security structure includes daily third-party verification of holdings, independent collateral agents, and a multiple-layer custody system through partnerships with established financial institutions. This framework safeguards tokenholder interests against operational risks while providing robust asset backing. The user interface enhances integration capabilities, allowing seamless interaction between CRMON and various decentralised finance protocols, as well as cryptocurrency exchanges. This interoperability enables users to leverage their tokenised equity across multiple platforms, creating sophisticated investment strategies that marry traditional equity characteristics with blockchain-native innovation. Leadership and Corporate Structure of Ondo Finance The leadership team behind CRMON and Ondo Finance blends expertise from traditional finance and blockchain technology, presenting a robust combination of skills essential for successfully bridging conventional markets with decentralised finance. Nathan Allman, the founder and CEO, emerged from a distinguished financial background before establishing Ondo Finance in 2021. Allman's experience includes notable roles at major financial institutions, including significant contributions to developing cryptocurrency market services. His insights into regulatory compliance were paramount in developing products like CRMON that successfully unify traditional securities with blockchain technology. With a team of professionals boasting substantial experience in both conventional finance and blockchain sectors, Ondo Finance's leadership comprises diverse expertise that covers every aspect of tokenised asset development. Justin Schmidt serves as President and COO, contributing unique operational expertise, while Chris Tyrell brings essential compliance knowledge. Investment Landscape and Funding History The investment landscape surrounding Ondo Finance reflects significant institutional confidence in its mission to tokenise real-world assets. The company has raised substantial funds through various investment rounds, attracting leading venture capital firms and strategic investors that recognise the transformative potential of tokenised securities like CRMON. Notably, Ondo Finance completed a successful Series A funding round in 2022, led by well-known venture capital firms. This funding success validates Ondo Finance's innovative approach to creating compliant, institutional-grade tokenised products. In total, Ondo Finance has successfully secured substantial funding, raising significant capital for product development and market expansion, including a noteworthy token sale that reinforced its governance structure through the establishment of the ONDO token. The diverse composition of investors reflects broad market confidence in Ondo Finance's business model, demonstrating support from both traditional and blockchain-native organisations. Operational Mechanics and Technical Implementation The operational framework supporting CRMON exemplifies sophisticated integration of traditional financial mechanisms with blockchain technology. The technical implementation introduces multiple layers of security, compliance, and operational efficiency to meet institutional standards while enhancing accessibility. The tokenisation process begins by acquiring actual Salesforce stock through U.S.-registered broker-dealers, ensuring each CRMON token maintains direct correlation with the underlying equity performance. Smart contracts automate operational processes, including dividend reinvestment and corporate action processing, facilitating a streamlined user experience. The Minting and redemption processes allow authorised participants to manage CRMON tokens effectively. During U.S. trading hours, institutions can mint new tokens by depositing stablecoins that are used to purchase corresponding Salesforce equity. This structure maintains a tight correlation with underlying assets, enhancing liquidity and price discovery. Additionally, the infrastructure supports twenty-four-hour token transfer capabilities, providing CRMON holders with operations outside traditional market hours. This represents a significant advantage over conventional securities ownership, thus promoting integration with decentralised finance applications. Plans for cross-chain compatibility through partnerships signal further ambitions for CRMON's market reach. By expanding to other blockchain networks, Ondo Finance aims to enhance accessibility and user engagement with tokenised equity products. Timeline and Historical Development of Tokenized Equity Innovation The timeline of CRMON's development and Ondo Finance's broader tokenised capabilities demonstrates a systematic innovation process beginning with the company's founding in 2021. 2021: Ondo Finance is founded by Nathan Allman and co-founders, launching initial products focused on structured vault offerings on the Ethereum blockchain. 2022: The company completes substantial funding rounds—both equity and token sales—totaling significant capital and launching initial tokenised U.S. Treasury products. 2023-2024: Ondo Finance experiences substantial growth, establishing partnerships with major financial institutions while expanding its product offerings beyond fixed-income securities. February 2025: Ondo Global Markets is announced, marking the transition into equity tokenisation with plans for accessing over one hundred U.S. stocks and ETFs. September 2025: The official launch of Ondo Global Markets includes CRMON alongside other tokenised equity offerings, marking a significant evolution in Ondo Finance's product ecosystem. This timeline highlights the organisation's rapid growth and its capability to adapt its technological and compliance frameworks to accommodate different asset classes effectively while maintaining security and regulatory integrity. Regulatory Framework and Compliance Approach Ondo Finance's regulatory framework showcases a sophisticated compliance strategy, essential for achieving institutional adoption in the tokenised securities market. The company's strong partnerships with U.S.-registered broker-dealers promote adherence to Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and apply robust investor protections. Acquisitions, such as Oasis Pro—a registered broker-dealer—significantly enhance Ondo Finance's compliance capabilities, ensuring thorough alignment with existing regulatory structures. The company employs independent verification procedures that foster transparency, aiming for a solid performance standards reputation. Furthermore, Ondo Finance's commitment extends to international regulatory compliance, ensuring token access remains restricted to eligible investors while adhering to pertinent cross-border securities regulations. Comprehensive attention to tax implications and reporting requirements fortifies the security and compliance landscape of CRMON, ensuring that investor obligations remain manageable. Future Prospects and Market Positioning The forward-looking landscape for CRMON and Ondo Finance illustrates substantial growth opportunities driven by institutional adoption of blockchain technology and escalating demand for efficient alternatives to conventional securities ownership. Market projections indicate the tokenised asset sector could value multiple trillion dollars by 2030. With plans to scale CRMON offerings significantly and integrate it with a dedicated blockchain infrastructure—Ondo Chain—Ondo Finance aims to elevate its institutional-grade tokenised asset operations. Additionally, the development of strategic partnerships enhances distribution capabilities while establishing the company's credibility in the financial market. Furthermore, the integration of tokenised equity with decentralised finance protocols offers new potential for innovative financial products and strategies previously impossible with traditional securities. These factors underscore CRMON's positioning to effectively capture increased market share and deliver innovative solutions for international investment exposure. Conclusion Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) symbolises a transformative development within financial markets, successfully bridging traditional equity ownership with blockchain technology to create unprecedented accessibility for global investors. Through Ondo Finance's sophisticated tokenisation framework, CRMON provides complete economic exposure to Salesforce equity performance while enhancing operational advantages that exceed traditional ownership. The launch of CRMON reflects the broader evolution of financial markets towards blockchain infrastructures that maintain regulatory compliance while delivering increased efficiency. Ondo Finance's extensive approach to regulatory adherence, institutional-grade security, and technological innovation solidifies CRMON as a model for future tokenised securities, delivering access previously unattainable in conventional brokerage structures. As the tokenised asset sector continues to develop, CRMON is well-positioned to address historical inefficiencies in capital markets while providing investors with innovative solutions for accessing traditional securities. The outlook for CRMON looks exceptionally promising, supported by ambitious expansion plans, technological innovations, and strategic partnerships, thereby representing a pioneering model of modern financial infrastructure evolving through blockchain integration.
