Binance Invests $100 Million in Circle, Expands Five-Year USDC Partnership
Binance has invested $100 million to acquire a stake in Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, strengthening their partnership with a new five-year commercial agreement. Under this deal, Circle will pay Binance a monthly fee to promote USDC on its platform, while Binance will support USDC's growth globally, especially in emerging markets. USDC, a dollar-pegged stablecoin with a market cap near $75 billion, is increasingly used for payments and crypto transactions. Both companies emphasize expanding digital financial services access.
