Issuer of the USDC stablecoin, Circle announced that it has entered into a partnership with the cryptocurrency exchange OKX aimed at enhancing liquidity for USD-to-USDC and USDC-to-USD conversions. This collaboration is intended to improve access to USDC for over 60 million users globally who engage with OKX’s platform.
As a result of this agreement, users will be able to convert USD into USDC and vice versa at a fixed 1:1 ratio across the suite of OKX’s products and services. In addition, the integration will streamline the process of moving funds on and off the platform through aligned banking partners, thereby facilitating smoother use of USDC in trading, payments, and other financial applications.
Jeremy Allaire, Co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of Circle, highlighted that demand for USDC continues to grow among both businesses and individuals seeking to utilize a new, internet-native form of high-utility money. He emphasized that OKX plays a leading role in the digital asset market and noted that by expanding the availability of USDC to OKX’s user base, which exceeds 60 million globally, the initiative contributes to the broader development of digital asset ecosystems. Circle’s CEO also remarked that this collaboration supports the integration of USDC with a diverse array of Web3 wallets and payments applications being developed by OKX.
The partnership with Circle holds importance for OKX due to its role in enhancing liquidity and increasing access to USDC, which he described as a market-leading stablecoin, noted OKX Founder and CEO Star Xu. In his opinion, the collaboration is aimed at improving the overall user experience on the OKX platform, while also advancing the adoption of stablecoins in routine financial activities.
