Circle Internet Financial emphasizes its commitment to transparency and trust in managing the USDC, a widely-used dollar digital currency, by ensuring that its US dollar reserves are regularly attested to by Grant Thornton LLP, a top accounting firm. Since its inception, USDC has grown significantly, from under $4 billion to over $20 billion, driven by demand for reliable digital payment options across multiple blockchains. The firm maintains strict reserve management and asset allocation policies to meet regulatory requirements under U.S. state banking laws, ensuring that the reserves exceed the USDC in circulation. Despite the rapid growth and evolving nature of digital assets, Circle aims to maintain high standards of market trust and regulation by providing ongoing accounting assurance, although the frequency of attestations has slightly lagged behind the intended monthly schedule. As the industry evolves, Circle continues to adapt its practices to enhance economic opportunity and prosperity globally.
