Circle Internet Financial has implemented USDC, a fiat-backed stablecoin, on the Stellar blockchain, joining Algorand and Solana in supporting this digital currency. This initiative is part of the Centre Consortium's efforts, co-founded by Circle and Coinbase, to establish a standardized governance framework for the global adoption of stablecoins. The introduction of USDC on Stellar involved creating two assets: USDC and USDCAllow. USDCAllow is restricted to approved minters, allowing them to mint USDC by trading USDCAllow on Stellar's Distributed Exchange, ensuring that the supply is backed by fiat reserves. This system allows the Centre Consortium to control minting access and maintain transparency and security while enabling broad distribution and use of USDC on the Stellar network.
