Summary

Circle Internet Financial has announced the addition of Basic Attention Token (BAT) as the 12th crypto asset available on Circle Invest, offering users the ability to purchase it individually or as part of a broader portfolio with the "Buy the Market" feature. BAT was chosen for its potential to bring significant innovation to the crypto ecosystem, particularly through its integration with the Brave browser, which enhances user privacy by blocking third-party ads and trackers while allowing users to pay publishers in BAT for content engagement. The browser is also designed to enable direct payments from advertisers to users in BAT for ad views, with plans to extend compatibility to other web browsers. Circle Invest continues to expand its offerings and is dedicated to transforming financial accessibility and efficiency worldwide.
