Circle Payments Network (CPN) just won BRONZE in Payments at the @money2020 Money Awards.
Thank you to the 175+ financial institutions helping make CPN a global payments network, and to the Circle payments team for building it.

Know Your Agent coming online. x401 agent identity proofs alongside x402 agent payments is a strong step towards safer and more trustworthy agentic economic activity.
Circle 🤝 @proof
With Proof, we’re exploring how agents can prove who they act for and pay in USDC in one exchange.
Verified identity through x401. USDC payments through x402 and Circle Agent Wallets.
See the joint demo at @money2020, booth 5069.

Proof + @circle: At Money2020, both teams will share a demo of an AI agent proving who they act on behalf of (x401) and paying in @USDC (x402) in the same exchange. See it live at #Money2020, booth 5069: hubs.la/Q04BzGrL0

Been heads down for months rebuilding the Circle Alliance Program from the ground up. Something big is coming.
If you're building a business using Circle's infrastructure this is for you. More details dropping soon. Stay tuned. 👀

USDC is the most useful stablecoin in the world because 150+ global partners build on it and share in its growth. In H1 2026, that meant $819M paid out to our partners.
I wrote about how the model works, what we reinvest to make the network stronger, and why every customer can always redeem for free.

Wrapping up a productive week at the @IMFNews and @WorldBankGroup Annual Meetings in Bangkok, where conversations underscored a common imperative: translating economic resilience into inclusive growth.
From global financial stability and trade fragmentation to the future of money, one theme stood out: innovation, trusted institutions and international cooperation must reinforce one another.
Grateful for thoughtful bilateral exchanges, including with @wto Director General @NOIweala on the vital intersection of trade, finance and economic opportunity.
As digital assets, stablecoins and modern payment infrastructure increasingly connect the global economy, the opportunity is to build bridges (not barriers) to greater financial access and prosperity.
The work continues @jerallaire.
Circle paid roughly $819M to USDC distribution partners and transaction costs in the first half of 2026.
More than 150 partners participate in USDC’s economics, sharing in the growth they help drive.
Here’s how the model works: circle.com/blog/the-economic…

Groundwork is in Washington DC on purpose.
The rules for this industry are being written here. The students who will spend their careers working under those rules are at universities across the city. Groundwork puts both in one room for an afternoon.
Co-hosted by 1inch Forward and the @BlockchainAssn, during @dcfintechweek.
Seven panels and six roundtables. Speakers from @RobinhoodCrypto, @Uniswap, @circle, @digitalasset, @FireblocksHQ, @OpenZeppelin, @trmlabs, @Dune, @Alchemy and @CertiK. Faculty from Columbia, NYU, Rutgers and George Mason. Students moderate two of the main stage panels.

Thanks to support from @DCDAOxyz, @YAPGlobalTeam and @INPUT_global.
Circle CCTP has crossed $100M in crosschain volume for supported non-USDC assets.
That includes cirBTC, EURC, and WETH, showing how CCTP is expanding beyond USDC to support more ways for value to move across supported chains.
More assets with the same trusted crosschain infrastructure.

The @WorldBankGroup and @circle are working on a major initiative that will combine our capabilities alongside major global banks to advance how World Bank funds move to countries around the world. Stay tuned!

I have known and admired Ajay Banga for a long time, and we both share a passion for advancing economic opportunities for everyone in the world. It’s a privilege to build alongside you Ajay!
Institutional wrapped assets need more than chain access.
Our latest blog outlines a seven-part framework for evaluating custody, reserves, redemption, compliance, resilience, governance, and composability, and how cirBTC applies it across Arc and Ethereum.

Thanks to everyone who joined us at Circle House during @TOKEN2049 Singapore 🇸🇬
It was great to connect across the ecosystem and spend two days exploring Arc, USDC, and what’s next for onchain finance. See you next time!
