Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire announced plans to expand its USDC stablecoin into about 40 emerging and developing countries, driven by rising demand in regions like Southeast Asia, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East. USDC currently holds 25% of the stablecoin market, with circulation up 19% year-over-year to $73.3 billion in Q2. The upcoming US stablecoin law, the GENIUS Act, set to take effect in January, is seen as a major milestone that will provide legal clarity for digital dollars. Circle is also leveraging regulatory approvals and strategic investments to support growth, while warning that AI poses new security risks despite boosting USDC usage through machine-to-machine payments.
