USDC, the stablecoin issued by Circle, is now available in Brazil and Mexico. The move allows Brazilian real and Mexican peso to be exchanged directly for USDC without having to convert fiat currency into dollars. Circle said businesses can obtain USDC from local financial institutions for their own purposes or offer the stablecoin to retail customers. Circle now supports local bank transfers through PIX and SPEI, the national real-time payment systems of Brazil and Mexico, respectively. (The Block)
