Compliant stablecoin issuer Circle is accelerating its global cooperation layout. Following a strategic partnership with OKX, Ant International, a subsidiary of Ant Group, is also in cooperation with Circle, planning to integrate $USDC into its blockchain platform after completing US compliance procedures. In addition, Ant International is actively applying for stablecoin-related licenses in Hong Kong, Singapore, Luxembourg, and other regions. Previously, Circle had established a deep cooperative relationship with OKX. OKX users can enjoy a 1:1 instant exchange service between USD and $USDC, and partner banks will also assist in optimizing the fiat currency deposit and withdrawal process, improving the user experience of $USDC in trading, payment, and other scenarios. With the successive addition of leading platforms such as OKX and Ant International, the $USDC ecosystem is accelerating its expansion, and the infrastructure status of compliant stablecoins in the global financial system is becoming increasingly prominent.
