Our take
Circle is a financial technology firm looking to enable businesses to harness the power of digital currencies and public blockchains for payments, commerce, and financial applications. The company’s USD Coin (USDC) has become the fastest growing, regulated, and fully reserved dollar digital currency.
The company is backed by BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, and crypto exchange company Coinbase. It has been proactively preparing for possible upcoming federal regulations. With USDC circulation doubling over the last year to $60 billion, Circle is well-placed to see steady long-term growth.
