$USDC he is steadily cementing its position ashi one of the most trusted and widely adopted stablecoins in the crypto space. In a bold move, Circle, the issuer of USDC, has reportedly rejected a $5 billion acquisition offer from Ripple, reflecting its confidence in independent growth and long-term potential.
At the same time, Circle is preparing for a public listing on the New York Stock Exchange, signaling growing institutional interest and a maturing market presence. Globally, the company is expanding through strategic partnerships—most notably with Onafriq in Africa—to boost USDC adoption in cross-border payments.
Meanwhile, Visa and Baanx have launched a payment card that allows users to spend USDC directly, with instant fiat conversion at the point of sale. The total supply of USDC has reached $61 billion as of April 2025, indicating strong and rising demand from institutional players.
