$USDC 🌹🌹🌹🌹❤

It establishes its position as one of the most reliable and trusted stablecoins in the cryptocurrency space. In a bold move, Circle, the issuer of USDC, 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, demonstrating increasing institutional interest and a mature market presence. Globally, the company is expanding through strategic partnerships - most notably with Onafriq in Africa - to enhance the adoption of USDC in cross-border payments.

Meanwhile, Visa and Baanx launched a payment card that allows users to spend USDC directly, with instant conversion to cash at the point of sale. The total supply of USDC reached $61 billion as of April 2025, indicating strong and growing demand from institutional players.
