Circle Positions USDC as Foundation for Global Financial Settlement Layer
Circle's latest report positions regulated stablecoins, particularly USDC, as the foundation for a transformative financial settlement layer. The internet-native qualities of these digital assets could mirror the disruptive innovations seen in data and media industries.
The company envisions stablecoins bridging traditional finance and blockchain infrastructure, with USDC already commanding 29% market share by end-2025. Liquidity fragmentation may diminish as institutional adoption accelerates among banks, payment firms, and corporations.
Wyoming's FRNT stablecoin deployment signals growing state-level experimentation, while USDC's 40% share of stablecoin transfer volume demonstrates its entrenched position as the sector's second-largest player.
