$USDC , the Circle dollar-linked stablecoin, is moving towards new integrations and regulation in the U.S. Recently, the Federal Reserve approved the use of USDC as collateral for futures in the U.S. through Coinbase Derivatives and Nodal Clear, pending approval from the CFTC, with a launch expected in 2026. Additionally, Uphold has enabled USDC on the XRP Ledger network to facilitate fast and cheap cross-border transfers. Meanwhile, the Senate approved the GENIUS Act bill, which regulates stablecoins by imposing liquid reserves and monthly audits; shares of Circle and Coinbase rose more than 15%, reflecting market confidence. These developments solidify USDC as a regulated, efficient, and globally adaptable financial instrument.
