It is beginning to reshape how financial systems operate, connect, and evolve on a global scale, with Circle\u2019s full-stack platform serving a foundational role in this transition.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe report outlines Circle\u2019s framework for internet-native financial infrastructure amid rising adoption across payments, capital markets and humanitarian use cases. This architecture includes three reinforcing pillars:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nWidely adopted regulated stablecoins <b>USDC<\/b><sup>1<\/sup>, <b>EURC<\/b><sup>2<\/sup>, and leading tokenized money market fund <b>USYC<\/b><sup>3<\/sup>;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Arc<\/b><sup>4<\/sup>, the enterprise-grade layer-1 blockchain built by Circle and engineered as the Economic Operating System (OS) for the internet, alongside robust developer tools and seamless interoperability infrastructure; and,\n<\/li>\n<li>\nCircle applications, including<b> Circle Payments Network (CPN)<\/b><sup>5<\/sup>, an application coordination layer that orchestrates programmable, compliant and auditable payments.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nTogether, these pillars are designed to support open, programmable, and trusted value exchange from consumer wallets to institutional capital markets across geographies.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe report also features perspectives and commentary from leading banks, fintech platforms, and humanitarian organizations, offering insights into how this infrastructure is already being applied in real-world settings today.<\/p>\n<p>\nTogether, these developments reflect a broader industry shift towards internet-native financial infrastructure. Circle\u2019s infrastructure is now powering financial innovation across banks, fintechs, asset managers, aid organizations, and developers building the next generation of onchain financial applications. This shift is enabling new models for treasury operations, capital markets, cross-border settlement, and aid distribution as part of a broader evolution toward a financial system that is programmable, interoperable and always on.<\/p>\n<p><b>Signals Shaping 2026: Infrastructure in Action<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThese milestones from 2025 point to the foundational infrastructure and use cases underscore growing adoption as internet-native systems continue to scale globally:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>USDC onchain volume reached $9.6 trillion in Q3 2025<\/b>, up 680% year-over-year,<sup>6<\/sup> as adoption accelerated across institutional finance, payments, and markets\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Nearly $217 billion in USDC redemptions processed in 2025<\/b><sup>7<\/sup>, reflecting Circle\u2019s always-on liquidity and deep integration with the global banking system\n<\/li>\n<li><b>EURC became the leading euro stablecoin by market share and circulation (&gt;50%)<\/b><sup>8<\/sup>, scaling rapidly following MiCA compliance\n<\/li>\n<li>\nCircle\u2019s tokenized U.S. Treasury fund <b>USYC reached $1 billion in circulation<\/b><sup>9<\/sup>, unlocking real-time access to yield-bearing instruments onchain<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nCircle\u2019s<b> Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) processed $31 billion in seamless USDC transfers in Q3<\/b><sup>10<\/sup>, up 740% year-on-year, with USDC now natively available on 30 blockchain networks<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Circle Payments Network (CPN) has grown rapidly since its launch in May 2025, reaching a $3.4 billion annualized transaction volume volume<\/b><sup>11<\/sup>, while also opening new corridors across Brazil, Nigeria, and more\n<\/li>\n<li>\nPartnerships with <b>Globally Systemically Important Banks (GSIBs) <\/b>that are accelerating their exploration and use of stablecoins in custody, treasury, collateral, and settlement use cases<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Humanitarian partnerships<\/b> enabled stablecoin-based cash assistance for displaced communities, with 40% cost savings and settlement time reduced from weeks to minutes\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Circle\u2019s Arc blockchain testnet launched in October with 100+ participating companies <\/b>spanning every major region and sector\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nFrom programmable capital markets to humanitarian aid distribution, these developments illustrate how Circle\u2019s infrastructure is being used today to solve complex challenges across the global economy, and how the internet financial system is beginning to take shape.<\/p>\n<p><b>Jeremy Allaire, Chairman, Co-Founder, and Chief Executive Officer of Circle said, <\/b>\u201cThis report captures the rise of an open, trusted, and programmable economic system for the internet where stablecoins like USDC and infrastructure like Arc support the next generation of commerce, capital markets, and social impact.
