Circle is a global financial technology firm and a key player in the digital currency space, with a mission to build a more open and inclusive financial system. Founded in 2013, Circle has evolved from a peer-to-peer payments company into a dominant force in the stablecoin market. Its primary product is USD Coin (USDC), a digital currency pegged to the U.S. dollar, which is now one of the largest and most widely used stablecoins in the world.

Circle’s business model revolves around providing infrastructure that enables businesses to leverage digital currencies and public blockchains for payments and commerce. This includes services for programmable wallets, treasury management, and cross-chain transfers, all designed to facilitate money movement at “internet speed.” By focusing on regulatory compliance and transparency, Circle has positioned itself as a bridge between traditional finance and the decentralized digital economy.
