🟡 Binance Put $100M Into Circle... But That’s Only Half the Deal Binance has bought $100 million worth of Circle shares - the investment comes with a new 5-year USDC agreement. 🔎 Circle sold Binance 1.24 million shares at $80.84 each through a private placement. Binance generally won’t be able to sell or hedge those shares for up to 2 years, although it keeps its voting rights. But the more interesting part is what comes with the investment: → Binance will promote $USDC across its platform → Circle will pay Binance a monthly incentive fee → that fee will depend on how much USDC is held through Circle’s wallet infrastructure → the partnership is set to run for five years SEC Basically, Circle gets one of crypto’s biggest $BTC distribution platforms pushing USDC, while Binance now has both commercial incentives and direct equity exposure to Circle’s growth. ⚽ Just weeks after putting USDC on Chelsea shirts, Circle has now tied Binance directly to its growth. Chelsea first, Binance now. Circle, if you’re looking for the next partnership, I’m available 🚀😄 #BTC Price Analysis# #Macro Insights# #Stablecoins
