币安从Circle获得了什么?

作为扩大五年商业协议的一部分,币安(Binance)直接向Circle Internet Group投资了1亿美元,旨在提升USDC在该加密货币交易所中的使用率。根据9月17日完成的私募发行文件,Circle向币安发行了约124万股A类股票,每股价格为80.84美元。这笔交易使全球规模最大的加密货币交易所之一直接持有了USDC背后公司的股权,与此同时,币安还因推广和分发稳定币而获得报酬。据该公司提交的文件显示,这些股票的出售价格低于交易前Circle的市场价值。

在常规例外情况下,如果币安终止商业安排,或者直到两年后(以较早者为准),币安不得出售、转让或对冲这些股份。在此期间,币安保留投票权。这一投资建立在双方自2024年底开始形成的合作关系基础之上,当时币安和Circle扩大了USDC在币安的交易平台、储蓄及支付产品中的应用,交易所还将部分企业国库资金转换为USDC。

币安联合首席执行官Richard Teng表示:“我们1亿美元的投资和五年的承诺代表了长期的信心。我们正在帮助构建一个更具包容性、透明度和合规性的数字经济。”

币安如何因推广USDC而获得报酬?

股权收购伴随着一项新的五年商业协议,该协议取代了此前于2024年11月和2025年8月签署的USDC相关协议。Circle同意向币安支付基于月度激励费用,该费用依据通过Circle模块化智能合约钱包服务持有的USDC数量的一定百分比计算。作为回报,币安将开展旨在提高其平台上USDC采用率的推广活动。

这种结构之所以重要,是因为分销成本已经是Circle经济模型中的重要组成部分。Circle此前披露,向包括币安和Coinbase在内的主要分销商的付款部分取决于通过其平台持有的USDC数量。通过有激励措施的分销商分发更多的USDC,既可以增加流通量,也会增加Circle支付给这些合作伙伴的金额。近期,Circle续签了与Coinbase的长期USDC分销协议,这使得币安成为通过多年期商业关系与Circle绑定的另一个主要分销渠道。

投资者要点

这笔交易以两种方式将币安与Circle的利益绑定在一起:随着基础设施上USDC余额的增长,币安可以赚取费用;同时,如果更广泛的USDC采用提高了Circle的股权价值,币安也将作为股东受益。

为何这1亿美元的股权敞口至关重要?

The share purchase makes the relationship between the two parties more solid than traditional exchange listings or promotion agreements. Binance now assumes Circle's financial risk and has committed to supporting USDC at the contractual level for up to five years. The two-year transfer limit also reduces the possibility of the private offering being used as a short-term financial transaction only. Binance was unable to immediately sell discounted shares in the open market, keeping at least part of its economic exposure consistent with Circle's long-term performance.

As USDC occupies an increasingly important position in trading activity, this is the right time. Visa adjusted blockchain data shows that in the first half of 2026, USDC accounted for approximately 70% of adjusted stablecoin transactions, while Tether's USDT accounted for approximately 25%, although USDT still dominates in circulation supply. Binance provides Circle with unique value that many institutional partners do not have: direct access to the vast global pool of cryptocurrency traders and stablecoin liquidity. Increasing the number of USDC held and traded on exchanges can improve the liquidity of USDC trading pairs and make the token more practical as a collateral, settlement currency, and bridge between fiat and crypto markets.

In addition to Binance's distribution capabilities, what else has Circle gained?

Circle正围绕更广泛的金融网络构建USDC,而非将其视为独立的代币。其Arc区块链于今年9月在公共主网上线,USDC作为其原生交易资产,同时Circle继续围绕该稳定币扩展支付、结算和机构基础设施。币安可以为这一战略提供大规模的分销终端。在股权收购完成前不久,币安完成了对Arc上的USDC集成,允许用户存入在Circle新网络上发行的USDC。

Circle首席执行官Jeremy Allaire表示,两家公司看到了利用USDC进行储蓄、投资产品以及在新兴市场获取美元的机会。虽然商业安排在特定条件下可以提前终止,因此五年的期限并非绝对,但结合1亿美元的锁定股权投资、经常性分销付款和平台推广,最新的协议远比公司最初的USDC合作伙伴关系更为深入。

对于Circle而言,考验在于支付给主要分销商是否能转化为足够的额外USDC余额和活动,从而证明成本的合理性。对于币安而言,这笔交易意味着扩大USDC的成功现在既能产生商业费用,也能带来对其Circle持股的潜在回报。
