According to Bloomberg, Ant International, a subsidiary of Ant Group, is partnering with Circle to integrate the USDC stablecoin into its blockchain platform, pending completion of U.S. compliance. This move is an important step for Ant International in promoting the inclusion of compliant crypto assets (such as central bank digital currencies and tokenized deposits) into the global payment and fund management system. In addition, Ant International plans to apply for stablecoin licenses in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Luxembourg. [Wu Shuo]
