SBI to invest $50 million in Circle's IPO to strengthen stablecoin USDC business? | SBIが米Circle社IPOで5000万ドル出資してステーブルコインUSDC事業強化か！？
SBIホールディングスとSBI新生銀行は9日、先日ニューヨーク証券取引所（NYSE）に上場した米Circle Internet Groupの株式を総額5000万ドル相当取得したと発表した。Circle社は米ドル建てステーブルコイン「USDC」の発行量610億ドル（約9兆円）で世界最大級の企業になったらしいのですが今後クレジットカードの競合になっていきそうな感じがしますしそうなると需要は爆増するでしょうね。手数料も安いですし。
On the 9th, SBI Holdings and SBI Shinsei Bank announced that they had acquired a total of $50 million worth of shares in the US company Circle Internet Group, which was recently listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Circle has become one of the world's largest companies with the issuance of the US dollar-denominated stable coin "USDC" of $61 billion (about 9 trillion yen), and it seems that it will become a competitor to credit cards in the future, and if that happens, demand will explode. The fees are also low.
