1/7 Today @centre_io governed $USDC was launched on @StellarOrg including a full-suite of UX and API services from @circlepay to light up USDC on the Stellar Blockchain. https://stellar.org/press-releases/usdc-is-live-on-the-stellar-network

2/7 This has been a great collaboration with @DenelleDixon and the team at @StellarOrg , and is part of our broad commitment to bring USDC to billions of people around the world.

3/7 Stellar has built a growing community and ecosystem of wallets, exchange and fintech partners with a deep focus on high-speed (5 sec), high-performance (1000s tps) and low cost cross-border payments (pennies), a key use case for USDC settlement.

4/7 Immediately, people, businesses and developers can connect, and convert to and from banks into USDC on Stellar, and swap and exchange instantly for Brazilian Real, Argentinian Peso, Nigerian Naira, Euro, and South African Rand

5/7 Not only will this unlock new on-chain FX markets, but will help people across the world, including in emerging markets to access the power of digital dollars, and have seamless convertibility with local stablecoins.

6/7 Like with other Multichain USDC launches, our launch with Stellar also means that the Stellar blockchain is fully supported in Circle Accounts and API Services, giving developers and businesses powerful tools for creating commerce and financial apps with Stellar and USDC.

7/7 You can learn more about using USDC on Stellar here, and also developers, exchanges, wallets can sign-up for our USDC Swap service to enable cross-chain USDC swaps in your apps and services. https://www.circle.com/en/usdc-multichain
