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.
XRP whale selling has been picking up, amounting to roughly $470 million in the past 10 days, according to an analyst earlier this week. But there’s no reason to panic because trading volume has been sustained, another analyst noted. “Historically, such heavy selling can pressure short-term prices, but it’s also worth noting that volumes have not collapsed,” Unity Wallet CEO James Toledo told Decrypt. “Overall sentiment appears to be very bullish, which is why I am surprised at the large offload...
MetaMask officially unveiled its native stablecoin Wednesday, the first of its kind launched by a self-custodial wallet. The token, dubbed mUSD, will be fully integrated with the MetaMask DeFi ecosystem, and will allow users of the dominant Ethereum wallet to easily on- and off-ramp self-custodied cryptocurrencies into dollar-pegged tokens. The stablecoin will be issued by Bridge, a Stripe company, and one-to-one backed by dollar equivalent assets in compliance with the recently passed GENIUS...
Bitcoin and Ethereum dipped briefly before regaining momentum in the hour after the Federal Reserve released minutes from its July monetary policy meeting, showing that the two dissenting governors on the Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC), couldn't convince others to join them. "A couple of members preferred to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 basis points at this meeting," the minutes revealed. "These members judged that, excluding tariff effects, inflation was runnin...
