Circle Internet Financial has launched the second cohort of its USDC Grant Program for 2025, aimed at supporting innovative projects in onchain finance. These grants offer not just financial backing but also act as a catalyst for developers worldwide who are leveraging USDC and Circle's APIs and SDKs to create practical blockchain solutions. The recent selection process revealed a high caliber of submissions from regions including Asia, the Middle East, LATAM, and Europe, leading to the choice of 13 new grantees. These projects, spanning various areas such as DeFi engagement, merchant tools, and asset tokenization, are seen as pivotal to the evolution of the finance industry. The selected teams include Droplinked from the UAE, Encifher from Singapore, and Hurupay from the USA, among others, reflecting a diverse and ambitious set of innovators. The next application round for Circle's Developer Grant, featuring a new Arc grants track, will open in 2026.
