CEO Jeremy Allaire told Reuters that businesses and individuals in Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Middle East are increasingly using stablecoins for payments and other financial services, describing a shift from blockchain's early adopter phase into mainstream scaling. Circle's USDC has about $72.6 billion in circulation, per CoinDesk data, giving it roughly a quarter of the stablecoin market versus nearly 60% for Tether's USDT. Entering more markets means competing with banks and payment companies for cross-border money flows.
