Circle Internet Financial has announced that the global ecosystem for USD Coin (USDC) is expanding, with exchanges in countries like the U.S., Korea, Japan, and the Czech Republic now offering USDC for trading. Notable exchanges such as Korea-based Korbit and Japan-based Liquid have recently listed USDC, alongside others like U.S.-based Thor Swap and Czech Republic-based Changelly. The demand for USDC is increasing, with a circulating supply now exceeding 134 million, driven by market participants' interest in a transparent and compliant USD token. USDC allows for dollar tokenization and redemption through both Circle and Coinbase, marking it as the first open, fungible, and interoperable fiat stablecoin in the industry. The CENTRE Consortium, co-founded by Circle and Coinbase, was established to create a standard for fiat currency on the internet and facilitate the mainstream adoption of stablecoins globally. Circle aims to revolutionize money movement by making it more accessible, inclusive, and efficient, thereby enhancing economic opportunities worldwide.
