Circle is set to launch its US dollar stablecoin, USDC, in Japan on March 26. This follows regulatory approval for its listing on the SBI VC Trade crypto exchange, a joint venture between SBI Holdings and Circle Japan KK. The approval marks a significant step, achieved after two years of negotiations with regulators and industry players. Circle plans to expand USDC listings to other major Japanese exchanges like Binance Japan, bitbank, and bitFlyer. This move is expected to boost digital asset trading and financial innovation in Japan's digital economy.
