Abstract

Circle 已与超过150家公司签订USDC分发合作协议,通过经济激励推动USDC增长、产品开发与分发。对于能够显著扩大USDC使用规模的大型企业,Circle可与Coinbase共同设计合作安排。根据双方协议,来自第三方渠道的USDC所产生的“生态系统经济利益”,在扣除激励后由Circle与Coinbase各分50%。 以近期与去中心化衍生品协议Hyperliquid的合作为例,该合作涉及Hyperliquid、Circle和Coinbase三方。链上数据显示,截至季度末,Hyperliquid平台持有的USDC中,约90%(49.52亿美元)计入Coinbase平台,约10%(5.5亿美元)计入Circle平台。系统会通过交易动态维持这一大致比例。但需注意,这一资金归属比例不等于三方的最终收益分配细节,具体的分成条款并未公开。 总体而言,通过激励合作伙伴来扩大USDC分发规模是Circle的长期策略。Circle和Coinbase在引入重要第三方渠道上利益一致,旨在共同做大USDC生态。

TL;DR

  • Circle 已与超过 150 家公司签订 USDC 分发合作协议,通过经济激励推动 USDC 增长、产品开发与分发。对于能够实质性扩大 USDC 使用规模的大型企业,Circle 也可以与 Coinbase 共同设计合作安排。
  • 根据 Circle 与 Coinbase 的分成安排,对于双方平台外的 USDC,在扣除经双方批准的第三方生态激励后,剩余“生态系统经济利益”由 Circle 与 Coinbase 各分 50%。
  • Hyperliquid 的合作安排涉及 Coinbase、Circle 和 Hyperliquid 三方。截至季度末,Hyperliquid 所持 USDC 中约 90% 位于 Coinbase 平台,约 10% 位于 Circle 平台;目前对应的链上余额分别为 49.52 亿美元和 5.5 亿美元。
  • 上述 90%/10% 指 USDC 资金被计入 Coinbase 与 Circle 平台的归属比例,并不等于三方最终的收益分配比例。Circle 没有披露 Hyperliquid 合作及其与 Coinbase 之间的精确分成条款。

在 Circle(CRCL)2026 年第二季度财报电话会议上,管理层集中回应了 USDC 分发渠道激励、Circle 与 Coinbase 的合作机制,以及 Hyperliquid 平台内 USDC 收益分配等问题。

Circle CEO 表示,公司早已通过经济激励推动合作伙伴分发 USDC、围绕 USDC 开发产品。对于能够实质性推动 USDC 增长的大型企业,Circle 也有能力与 Coinbase 共同设计相应的合作安排。

不过,Circle 并未披露 Hyperliquid 合作的精确收益分配条款。此次电话会议能够确认的是,Coinbase、Circle 和 Hyperliquid 三方均参与了这项合作;截至季度末,Hyperliquid 所持 USDC 中约 90% 位于 Coinbase 平台,约 10% 位于 Circle 平台。这一资金归属也可以通过链上地址进行观察。

Circle 已与超过 150 家公司签订 USDC 分发合作协议

谈及 USDC 的渠道激励机制,Circle CEO 表示:

“我们目前已经拥有大量分发激励安排,也有大量合作伙伴在我们的网络上进行建设。
事实上,我们的网络中有数千家公司。我们与超过 150 家公司签订了分发合作协议,通过经济激励推动 USDC 增长、基于 USDC 开发产品,以及分发 USDC。
这件事我们已经做了很长时间。事实上,我们经常与 Coinbase 共同开展这类合作。”

换句话说,通过让渡部分经济利益激励渠道分发稳定币,并不是 Circle 面对 OUSD 后才出现的新思路。Circle 已经长期采用类似模式,并与超过 150 家公司签订了分发合作协议。

但这并不意味着所有接入 USDC 的渠道都能获得相同激励,也不意味着 Circle 会把相关收入全部分给合作伙伴。Circle 会选择能够推动 USDC 增长、开发和分发的核心渠道,再根据具体合作对象和使用场景设计分发激励,实际分成比例也会因具体合作而异。

Circle 与 Coinbase 愿意共同引入大型分发渠道

Circle CEO 在电话会议上进一步表示:

“我们完全有能力与大型企业建立非常优质、互利共赢的分发合作安排。你刚才举了 Hyperliquid 的例子,当然还有其他案例。”

他还提到:

“我们看到大量大型企业对加入 USDC 网络表现出强烈兴趣。我们在全球各地都看到了这种情况。
当我们认为某家公司能够实质性推动 USDC 增长和采用时,我们完全有机会与 Coinbase 共同建立相应合作关系。”

这意味着,Circle 未来仍可能与更多大型企业签订第三方分发激励协议。以三星 Wallet 等大型入口为例,如果其未来能够显著推动 USDC 的使用与分发,Circle 与 Coinbase 可能共同为此设计相应的合作机制。

Coinbase 与 Circle 在这一问题上的利益并非完全对立。对于有能力扩大 USDC 规模的优质第三方渠道,双方都有动力先扩大 USDC 的整体市场,再按照既有协议分配相应收益。

根据 Circle 与 Coinbase 的分成安排,对于双方平台外的 USDC,在扣除经双方批准的第三方生态激励后,剩余部分被称为“生态系统经济利益”,再由 Circle 与 Coinbase 各分 50%。因此,重要第三方渠道获得激励,并不必然意味着 Circle 单方面承担全部成本;Circle 和 Coinbase 可以共同参与相关合作。

Hyperliquid 的收益究竟如何分配?

Autonomous 分析师 Ken Suchoski 在电话会议上提问:

“Hyperliquid 平台上 USDC,90% 的利息收入归 Hyperliquid 所有。那么剩下的 10%,Circle 和 Coinbase 是否按照五五比例分配?”

Circle CFO 回答称:

“关于 Hyperliquid 这项合作安排,Coinbase、Circle 和 Hyperliquid 三方都参与其中。
通过链上数据,你可以准确看到 Hyperliquid 平台中的资金具体位于哪里,以及这些资金分别被计入 Circle 平台还是 Coinbase 平台。
截至季度末,Hyperliquid 所持 USDC 总额中,大约 90% 位于 Coinbase 平台内,大约 10% 位于 Circle 平台内。
至于 Circle 和 Coinbase 之间具体如何进行收益分成,我们不会进一步评论双方安排的精确细节。”

CFO 的回答确认了三方均参与 Hyperliquid 的合作安排,但没有正面确认分析师提出的具体收益分配方式。Hyperliquid、Circle 与 Coinbase 之间的精确分成比例和详细条款,仍属于未公开的商业安排。

这里还需要区分两组不同的“90%/10%”:分析师所说的“90%”指 Hyperliquid 获得的利息收入比例;CFO 所说的“90%/10%”则指 Hyperliquid 所持 USDC 分别计入 Coinbase 和 Circle 平台的资金归属。后者并不等同于三方之间的最终收益分配比例。

链上如何观察 Hyperliquid 的 USDC 归属?

CFO 提到,Hyperliquid 平台中的 USDC 位于哪里,以及相关资金被计入 Circle 还是 Coinbase 平台,可以通过链上数据进行观察。

目前,归属 Coinbase 平台的 USDC 余额为 49.52 亿美元,对应 HyperEVM 上的 Coinbase Treasury Deployer 地址。

归属 Circle 平台的 USDC 余额为 5.5 亿美元,对应 HyperEVM 上的 Circle CoreDepositWallet 地址。

AQAv2 系统会主动将两个地址中的 USDC 余额维持在 90% 和 10% 左右。系统交易会不断重新平衡两个地址,使其接近 1:9。

因此,在观察 Hyperliquid 的 USDC 总额及其在 Circle、Coinbase 之间的归属时,可以采用以下公式:

Hyperliquid AQAv2 USDC ≈ Circle CoreDepositWallet 余额 + Coinbase Treasury Deployer 余额

链上两个地址的余额比例与 CFO 在电话会议中披露的季度末结构基本一致:约 90% 归入 Coinbase 平台,约 10% 归入 Circle 平台。

USDC 渠道激励的核心是共同扩大分发规模

从 Circle 管理层的回应来看,通过经济激励吸引第三方渠道并不是临时性的竞争策略,而是 USDC 长期分发机制的一部分。Circle 已经与超过 150 家公司签订相关协议,也愿意与 Coinbase 共同为能够实质性推动 USDC 增长的大型企业设计合作安排。

Hyperliquid 展示了这一模式的实际运作方式:第三方平台负责扩大 USDC 的使用规模,Circle 与 Coinbase 共同参与合作安排,平台内资金则按照约 90% 和 10% 的结构分别计入 Coinbase 与 Circle。

不过,链上资金归属只能帮助外界观察 USDC 被计入哪一方平台,不能直接推导出三方最终获得的收益比例。关于 Hyperliquid、Coinbase 和 Circle 之间的具体分成,现阶段能够确定的仍只是大致框架,精确条款并未公开。

$2 Trillion: Countdown to AI's Largest IPO in History

The countdown for the largest IPO in AI history, a potential $2 trillion listing for Anthropic, is underway for October. The staggering valuation, reportedly projected by several investors, contrasts with the company's own internal restraint on setting a public target. Founded five years ago by former OpenAI core members, Anthropic's growth has been meteoric. Annual recurring revenue (ARR) surged from ~$9B in late 2025 to $47B by May 2026, with Q2 2026 revenue of $11.5B marking a 14x year-over-year increase. Bank valuations are even based on internal 2028 revenue forecasts of $190-200B. A key growth driver is Claude Code, its AI coding assistant. Its ARR quintupled in five months to $2.5B by February 2026, now constituting nearly 20% of total revenue. Surveys indicate Anthropic commands roughly 40% of enterprise LLM spending, doubling OpenAI's share in programming-specific use. However, alongside this explosive growth, reports detail significant internal cultural strife. Critics describe a divisive "priesthood" of PhD executives, led by CEO Dario Amodei, who promote a "save humanity" narrative that some employees find cult-like and alienating. This has reportedly created a demoralized workforce and a covert "underground network" of dissent among engineers torn between lucrative pre-IPO equity and a toxic work environment. Anthropic now faces a pivotal paradox: pursuing its mission of "safe" AI requires immense capital for compute, yet that capital demands relentless commercial growth. As it approaches its historic IPO, the company must navigate intense regulatory scrutiny, soaring operational costs, and internal tensions—any of which could destabilize its post-listing trajectory, much like SpaceX's significant post-IPO stock drop. The stage is set for a defining moment in tech history.

AI Boosting Efficiency and Cutting Costs Makes VC Increasingly Expensive

"AI for Cost Reduction Makes VC Funding More Expensive" Despite the "cost-reduction and efficiency" narrative of AI, venture capital (VC) investment in the AI sector is becoming increasingly costly. While AI tools lower the initial costs for many startups—with team sizes shrinking across funding stages—the market is polarizing. For top-tier AI teams, especially those from leading companies like Google and OpenAI, funding rounds are now larger and valuations are higher than ever at the seed and early stages. For example, new ventures by prominent researchers are securing billions in funding with valuations reaching tens of billions before having a mature product. This creates a "barbell" market: lightweight startups need less capital, while elite AI firms attract massive investments early on. This dynamic raises the cost for VCs to acquire and maintain meaningful ownership stakes. As valuations soar early, securing the same equity percentage requires significantly larger capital commitments. VCs must now invest more upfront and reserve substantial funds for follow-on rounds to avoid dilution, prompting large firms like Accel and a16z to raise massive new funds. Consequently, capital is concentrating intensely in a few perceived winners like OpenAI and Anthropic, widening the gap between large and small VC funds. While high valuations bake in future growth expectations, they also compress potential returns, demanding that portfolio companies achieve unprecedented scale. For major VCs, the core strategy is clear: secure early positions in potential winners and maintain the capital to keep investing as valuations rapidly escalate.

What is $USDC

Classic USDC: A Comprehensive Overview Introduction to Classic USDC In the rapidly evolving landscape of the cryptocurrency market, stablecoins have emerged as critical components, particularly in providing stability amid the volatility that characterizes digital assets. One such project is Classic USDC, a digital currency initiative that aims to deliver a stable and reliable medium of exchange. By maintaining a 1:1 peg with the US dollar, Classic USDC strives to offer users a dependable digital asset, equipped for various applications within the web3 and cryptocurrency ecosystems. What is Classic USDC? Classic USDC is fundamentally a stablecoin, which is a type of cryptocurrency designed to minimize the price volatility typically seen in the digital asset market. Specifically, Classic USDC aspires to represent the value of the US dollar closely, ensuring that users can leverage this digital currency for transactions, savings, and other financial activities without the fear of sudden price fluctuations that can otherwise plague many cryptocurrencies. The primary aim of Classic USDC is to provide a reliable and trustworthy digital equivalent of the US dollar, designed for seamless integration into a wide range of web3 applications, decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, and other crypto-related financial systems. By delivering a stable digital currency, Classic USDC seeks to facilitate everyday commerce, make blockchain technology more user-friendly, and encourage the adoption of cryptocurrencies for mainstream usage. Creator of Classic USDC The identity of the creator or the development team behind Classic USDC remains largely unknown, and the lack of transparency has led to a degree of uncertainty regarding the project’s origins. While many cryptocurrency initiatives prominently showcase their founders and development teams, Classic USDC does not provide clear information about its creators, which poses challenges for potential users or investors weighing the project's credibility and reliability. Investors of Classic USDC Alongside the ambiguity surrounding its creators, Classic USDC also lacks specificity with regards to its investors. The financial backing of a project can often lend it credibility and stabilize its operations; however, the absence of documented investment foundations or organizations supporting Classic USDC raises questions about its funding structure. This lack of clarity could potentially hinder stakeholder confidence in the project. How Does Classic USDC Work? The operational mechanics of Classic USDC rely heavily on its reserve system, which is fundamental to the underpinnings of any stablecoin. Classic USDC undertakes to maintain a reserve of assets that directly correspond to the value of the digital currency in circulation. Specifically, for every Classic USDC token issued, an equivalent amount of backing assets is retained in reserve, whether in cash or near-cash equivalents. This strategy is designed to uphold the value of Classic USDC, offering reassurance to users that redeeming their tokens for US dollars is feasible at any time. This reserve structure aims to enhance the stability and reliability of Classic USDC, positioning it as a secure alternative in the cryptocurrency market. By ensuring that the value of Classic USDC is consistently correlated with the US dollar, the project aspires to engender trust among users who may be wary of the broader market dynamics. Timeline of Classic USDC The history of Classic USDC is marked by several key milestones that reflect its journey and evolution within the cryptocurrency ecosystem: 2021: The inception of Classic USDC is noted, introducing a new digital currency option designed for stability. During this year, the first records of the token’s activity surfaced and its initial price levels were established. 2024: Classic USDC begins to experience notable price fluctuations, as the crypto market overall grapples with various trends and user sentiment. Predictions regarding its future potential emerge, indicating a strong interest from market observers and analysts who foresee growth opportunities. Future Projections Experts speculate that Classic USDC may reach higher levels of adoption and stability in the years to come, with potential further developments anticipated around 2025 and 2026. However, these projections should be approached with cautious optimism, as the cryptocurrency market is inherently unpredictable, and various external factors may influence the trajectory of Classic USDC. Key Points About Classic USDC Stability: Classic USDC’s core proposition revolves around providing a digital currency that parallels the value of the US dollar, thereby ensuring stability in an often volatile marketplace. Reserve System: The project’s commitment to maintaining a reserve of assets to back its value underscores its reliability and operational soundness. Web3 and Crypto Integration: Classic USDC is engineered to facilitate easy integration within various applications, aiming to enhance the user experience and broaden the acceptance of cryptocurrency in everyday transactions. Future Growth Potential: While still emerging, Classic USDC holds prospective avenues for growth as awareness and utilization of stablecoins increases in the web3 and crypto contexts. Conclusion Classic USDC presents itself as a notable stablecoin initiative within the cryptocurrency sphere, striving to provide users with a reliable digital currency that embodies the stability of the US dollar. Despite uncertainties regarding its creators and financial backing, the underpinning principles of Classic USDC—centered on reserve-backed assurances—endeavour to position it as a trustworthy option for individuals and businesses navigating the digital economy. With an eye towards the future, market analysts are keen to observe how Classic USDC evolves in response to the shifting dynamics of the cryptocurrency landscape, potentially establishing itself as a significant player in the realm of stablecoins.
