On July 10, Coin World reported that the compliant stablecoin issuer Circle is accelerating its global cooperation layout. Following the strategic partnership with OKX, Bloomberg reported that Ant International, a subsidiary of Ant Group, is also collaborating with Circle, planning to integrate USDC into its blockchain platform after completing compliance processes in the United States. In addition, Ant International is actively applying for stablecoin-related licenses in Hong Kong, Singapore, Luxembourg, and other locations.
Previously, Circle had established a deep cooperative relationship with OKX. OKX users can enjoy a 1:1 instant exchange service between US dollars and USDC, and the partner banks will also assist in optimizing the fiat currency deposit and withdrawal processes, enhancing the usage experience of USDC in trading, payment, and other scenarios. As leading platforms like OKX and Ant International join in succession, the USDC ecosystem is rapidly expanding, and the infrastructure position of compliant stablecoins in the global financial system is becoming increasingly prominent.
