Circle Internet Financial, since its founding in 2013, has focused on engaging with policymakers and regulators globally to promote a more open, global, and inclusive economic system powered by digital currency and blockchain technology. This mission aligns with the increasing mainstream interest in cryptocurrencies, digital assets, and blockchain, which are becoming central to economic systems worldwide. Circle is experiencing significant growth, driven by the success of USDC, a leading dollar digital currency, and its services that support various digital financial applications. In this context, Circle has appointed Dante Disparte as Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Policy. Disparte, who has extensive experience in global financial issues and risk management, previously held a key position at the Diem Association, where he engaged with governmental and financial leaders about stablecoins. As Circle expands globally and stablecoins become integral to internet and commerce infrastructure, Disparte's strategic insights are expected to play a crucial role in shaping Circle's global strategy and policy initiatives.
