Circle Launches $USDC in Japan

Circle will soon launch $USDC on the SBI VC trade exchange, marking it as the first stablecoin officially approved for the Japanese market. This follows two years of negotiations with regulatory authorities.

  • SBI VC Trade received approval to list $USDC three weeks ago.
  • The launch is a collaboration between SBI Holdings and Circle Japan KK.
  • Future plans include listing $USDC on bitbank and bitFlyer.

Circle's Global Initiatives

Circle has been active in expanding crypto adoption globally. Recently, its euro-backed stablecoin $EURC gained recognition under the Dubai Financial Services Authority.

  • Stablecoins are increasingly adopted in markets like Japan and the UAE.
  • Circle aims to integrate these stablecoins into various financial services.
