Binance and Circle forge alliance to boost the use and adoption of the USDC stablecoin
In a strategic move to accelerate the global adoption of USDC and cryptocurrencies, Binance and Circle have announced an alliance that promises to transform the landscape of digital finance.
According to joint statements from both companies, Binance will integrate more USDC trading pairs, drive promotional campaigns across various products, and adopt this stablecoin as part of its corporate treasury.
Binance and Circle collaborate to promote the global use of USDC
The collaboration between Circle, the creator of USDC, and Binance, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, aims to enhance the utility of the stablecoin within the crypto ecosystem. Through this partnership, Binance users will be able to use USDC not only for trading but also for savings and payments, significantly expanding its functionality on the platform.
Circle has shown a clear focus on the global expansion of its stablecoin. In recent months, the company has collaborated with national banks in Brazil and Mexico and has integrated with the Aptos blockchain through Stripe. These initiatives reinforce its vision of positioning USDC as a key element in the global financial system.
USDC currently ranks second among stablecoins worldwide, with a market capitalization of approximately $40.86 billion, surpassed only by Tether (USDT), which reaches $138.62 billion.
In addition, Circle achieved a significant milestone last week by becoming the first stablecoin to comply with new Canadian regulations on value-referenced assets (VCRA). These regulations, introduced by Canadian Securities Authorities, will come into effect next year, marking a significant advancement in the regulation of stablecoins.
