Circle Internet Financial has launched the Circle Payments Network (CPN) mainnet, marking a significant advancement in global stablecoin payments by integrating blockchain technology with traditional payment systems. CPN aims to streamline the $190 trillion cross-border payment market, which remains reliant on outdated and inefficient infrastructure, by enabling secure, reliable, and near-instant transactions on public blockchains. It provides a compliance-first payment coordination protocol that allows financial institutions to exchange payment instructions and settle transactions efficiently, supporting various payment use cases such as B2B supplier payments, remittances, and payroll. Early adopters like Alfred Pay, Tazapay, RedotPay, and Conduit are leveraging CPN to facilitate stablecoin transactions across high-value trade corridors, particularly those underserved by traditional systems. The initiative underscores a commitment to enhancing global payment infrastructure, emphasizing interoperability, compliance, speed, and cost-efficiency, with plans to expand into additional markets throughout 2025. Circle Technology Services, LLC operates CPN, connecting participating institutions globally without holding funds or managing accounts, while acknowledging risks and uncertainties inherent in expanding these services.
