Circle

Circle issues USDC and EURC through regulated affiliates and is building payment, custody and blockchain infrastructure around them. Reserve income still dominates the economics, while distribution agreements, redemption access and jurisdiction-specific rules shape both the business and the risks.

Circle Internet Group, Inc. (NYSE: CRCL) is the public parent. USDC issuance, Circle National Trust custody, EU permissions and software services have separate legal roles. USDC is not an insured bank deposit; direct redemption is subject to holder eligibility and applicable terms.

Financial services relevance
