🚨 Circle partners with Mastercard & Finastra to expand USDC
🔹 Mastercard: Enables payments in USDC & EURC in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa – the first time stablecoin has been deployed in the region. Arab Financial Services & Eazy Financial Services are pioneers in adoption.
🔹 Finastra: The London-based financial software giant (processing $5 trillion/day) integrates USDC into Global PAYplus, enabling banks in 50 countries to make international payments using stablecoin, even when the original order is fiat.
💡 Stablecoin is gradually becoming a real competitor to SWIFT – banks must adapt if they don't want to fall behind.
