The event, held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, brought together a diverse group of industry leaders from traditional finance, fintech, and philanthropy to discuss critical topics such as crypto regulations and the utility phase of crypto. Circle announced several initiatives, including a partnership with Robinhood to integrate USDC into its platform, the planned expansion of USDC to new blockchains, and the development of a Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol to enable seamless USDC transactions across chains. Moreover, Circle Impact launched a crypto literacy program targeting underserved communities and partnered with the Mara Foundation to empower developers in Africa to build blockchain solutions.
