Circle’s USDC stablecoin is breaking deeper into the heart of global finance. The company just locked down two major partnerships that will put its digital dollar in the hands of merchants and banks worldwide.
This isn’t just for crypto natives anymore. By teaming up with Mastercard and software provider Finastra, Circle is embedding USDC directly into the plumbing of the traditional financial system.
