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.
A Dubai family office managing assets for Qatari royal Sheikh Nayef bin Eid Al Thani will finance a $8.8 billion blockchain and digital assets project in the Maldives. The deal, led by MBS Global Investments, seeks to diversify the island archipelago nation’s economy, which is mainly dependent on tourism and fishing, amid rising external debt obligations, according to a Sunday report by the Financial Times. The investment, scheduled to roll out over five years, exceeds the country’s entire GDP,...
Actor and noted crypto critic Ben McKenzie is set to make his directorial debut at SXSW London with the June premiere of his documentary, “Everyone Is Lying to You for Money,” according to a report by Deadline. The documentary follows McKenzie—best known for roles on "The O.C." and "Gotham"—as he investigates the cryptocurrency world and interviews key figures, including during a trip to El Salvador to examine President Nayib Bukele's regime, which made Bitcoin legal tender in 2021. “When I star...
Ethereum just lost one of its long-time institutional backers. In a Thursday statement, algorithmic trading firm Two Prime announced it is dropping all exposure to Ethereum (ETH) and will exclusively manage and lend against Bitcoin (BTC) going forward, citing Ethereum’s unpredictable behavior, declining market momentum, and eroding institutional appeal.
