USDC, the US dollar-pegged stablecoin managed by Circle and Coinbase, is coming to the Stellar blockchainblockchain, Circle announced today.
Circle will add USDC support to Stellar’s vast array of products, among them payments tools, infrastructure APIs and business accounts products, by the first quarter of next year. That means that these businesses can soon start using the Stellar-ized version of USDC.

“We are very excited to be able to support businesses and developers in building these financial inclusion solutions through USDC on Stellar in our platform,” said Circle in a blog post. The firm encourages Stellar developers to reach out.
The support for Stellar doesn’t come from nowhere. Circle has long sought to end its dependence on the EthereumEthereum blockchain. In June, it announced support for the Algorand blockchain.
Stellar is a far smaller blockchain than Ethereum, which houses its eponymous coin, the second largest by market cap. In comparison, Stellar, with a market cap of $1.5 billion, is far smaller than Ethereum, which has a market cap of $42 billion.
“The addition of USDC to Stellar will allow us to continue to expand our global reach in pursuit of this mission while opening up new avenues for growth and innovation for the developers and businesses building on the network,” said Denelle Dixon, CEO and Executive Director of the Stellar Development Foundation, in a statement.
USDC is breaking up with Ethereum—or, at the very least, it’s time to start seeing other blockchains. Centre, the collaboration between Coinbase and Circle that administers the USDC stablecoin, announced Wednesday a framework for multi-chain support for USDC. Algorand will be the first non-Ethereum blockchain to deploy support for USDC, the first in what’s likely to be a long line of protocols interested in integrating the world’s second-most popular stablecoin. Exciting milestone for Circle an...
A stablecoinstablecoin is a cryptocurrency token pegged to a real world asset—in this case, USDC is pegged to the US dollar. You give the Centre Consortium—the organization that manages the coin—one dollar, and it’ll give you one USDC token in return.
With a market cap of about $2.7 billion, USDC is the second largest stablecoin by market capitalization. It’s dwarfed by Tether (USDT), which has a market cap of $15 billion. Thankfully, both are worth $1.
The debate over whether Bitcoin is best suited for payments or as a store of value is flaring up again. This time, it comes after the price to send the leading cryptocurrency has been slashed. Top Bitcoin blockchain explorer Mempool posted this week that now users of the biggest crypto network can pay as low as 0.1 satoshi per virtual byte (sat/vByte) to get their transactions processed. A satoshi is the smallest unit of Bitcoin, with 1 satoshi equaling 0.00000001 BTC. Previously, it would cost...
Ethereum’s price has increased at nearly twice the rate of Solana’s over the past month, but the outperformance will likely be temporary, according to Adrian Fritz, head of research at Switzerland-based asset manager 21Shares. Although Ethereum is the most secure and decentralized smart contract platform, Solana is still a smaller project with more upside, partly due to its community of developers that are constantly striving for “better execution,” he told Decrypt on Friday. “Ethereum was almos...
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy can’t help sharing his crypto fumbles, notably declaring in 2021 that he “fucked up Bitcoin” by panic-selling his stash for a huge loss the year prior. But the outspoken personality continues to play in the crypto world, including launching his own Solana meme coins last year and pumping-and-dumping others. Now he’s griping publicly about selling off his stash of XRP before the prominent cryptocurrency surged to an all-time high on Thursday, breaking a record...
