Summary

Circle Internet Financial announced the addition of four new crypto assets—EOS, Stellar, 0x, and Qtum—to its Circle Invest platform, expanding its collection to 11 assets. These assets can be purchased individually or as part of a diversified portfolio using the "Buy the Market" feature. Each asset was chosen for its potential to enhance the broader crypto ecosystem, evaluated through the Circle Asset Framework. To educate users, Circle introduced the "Explore" feature, providing contextual information on crypto projects and assets. EOS aims to improve transaction speed limitations seen in Ethereum, Stellar focuses on low-cost and fast cross-border payments, 0x enables direct crypto asset trading on the Ethereum blockchain through relayers, and Qtum combines features of both Bitcoin and Ethereum to support smart contract applications. Circle's broader mission is to make financial transactions more accessible and efficient, contributing to economic opportunity globally.
