#Binance se alía con #Circle !
Inject $100M and sign a mega alliance for 5 years with USDC
Binance has finalized a strategic investment of $100 million in Circle through the private acquisition of 1,237,011 Class A ordinary shares (at a price of $80.84 per share), according to an official SEC filing (Form 8-K) dated September 2026.
The share purchase closed concurrently with the signing of a new 5-year commercial agreement, which replaces the previous arrangements from 2024 and 2025. Key points of the agreement include:
Promotion and Integration: Binance will drive the use of USDC using Circle's modular smart-contract wallet infrastructure.
Revenue Model: Circle will pay Binance a monthly fee calculated based on the percentage of USDC managed through that service.
Share Lock-up: Binance will retain its voting rights but will not be able to sell, transfer, or perform hedging (hedging) on the shares for a period of two years (except for a justified termination of the contract).
Exit Clause: Both parties retain the ability to terminate the contract unilaterally before its expiration under specific conditions.
This move strengthens institutional adoption of USDC at a crucial moment of expansion for Circle, following the recent launch of the mainnet of #ARC (its Layer-1 blockchain where USDC operates as a gas token), supported by validators such as #blackRock , Mastercard, Visa, ICE, and DTCC.
