Thunes brings USDC settlement to 12B wallets across 140+ countries via Circle Payments Network

Singapore-based payments giant Thunes is joining Circle's newly launched CPN Managed Payments, extending USDC-powered settlement to its network of 12 billion mobile wallets and 15 billion cards across 140+ countries and 90+ currencies. The integration lets Thunes members — including Uber, Grab, and Deliveroo — access 24/7 stablecoin settlement without touching crypto directly, building on a 2024 partnership that already eliminated nostro pre-funding requirements and traditional banking hour constraints. Circle launched CPN Managed Payments on April 8 with Thunes, Veem, and Worldline as inaugural partners.
