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

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.

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.
Learn the system you're about to inherit.

🇪🇺 We submitted feedback to the European Commission's MiCA Review Consultation
As the largest MiCA-regulated e-money token (EMT) issuer for both the dollar (@USDC) and the euro (EURC), and having been the first major global issuer to comply back in July 2024, @circle knows first-hand what's working under MiCA and what still needs adjustment.
MiCA has produced ~40 regulated EMTs over the last 2 years, more than any comparable framework has in the world. Both traditional banks and fintechs are entering the space, which is great.
But looking at the largest stablecoins in the world by market cap, only 3 of the top 30 are MiCA-compliant today, and 2 of those are Circle's. MiCA has not yet managed to capture most of global stablecoin supply, a gap worth closing, preferably via an equivalence & recognition regime for foreign stablecoins aligned with the GENIUS Act, powering transatlantic reciprocity.
We also agree with the ECB on the mandatory 30/60% deposit minimum in EMT reserves. It is too rigid and should be replaced by a more flexible liquidity requirement taking into consideration the liquidity profile of the HQLAs.
You can find a few highlights of our response in the blog post in the comments. The EU is already a regulatory leader, now it's time to build market leadership as well!
