Circle Re-poster

Before 8am each day, a fresh update is ready and waiting in your inbox. For ~$0.05/day, a specialized agent reviews the latest developments in AI and payments from the previous 24 hours. This research is then compiled into a convenient email briefing that takes just five minutes to read.

Here at Circle, we operate on the fundamental belief that long-lasting innovation must be built upon reliable infrastructure and mindful regulation. That is why we are so proud to congratulate Ashley Scott and @ddisparte for earning their places on the 2026 Tech Titans list published by @washingtonian.

This acknowledgment formally celebrates their ongoing dedication to promoting transparent and uniform guidelines regarding digital assets. A major highlight of their advocacy involved advancing last year's bipartisan GENIUS Act, a milestone piece of legislation that successfully established the initial U.S. regulatory framework to govern payment stablecoins.

Builders looking to accelerate their projects can now use Gateway Fast Deposit to fund unified USDC balances up to 40x faster on supported routes. Accessible by way of the Unified Balance Kit, this capability smoothly incorporates CCTP Fast Transfer directly into the standard Gateway funding flow. It is a perfect match for platforms where every second counts, including wallets, trading apps, prediction markets, and crosschain applications.

Adopting this tool allows development teams to drastically decrease the time users wait for funds. It also simplifies technical operations by organizing the transfer and deposit steps into a single cohesive workflow. Additionally, it makes it possible to deliver quicker crosschain funding, easily manage unified USDC balances, and build highly programmable transaction flows.

Surrounded by a talented crowd of developers building toward the agentic economy, we enjoyed a fantastic evening in NYC alongside @BlockRunAI, @dynamic_xyz, and @FireblocksHQ.

To support this vision, the Circle Agent Stack provides builders with foundational infrastructure. Using this comprehensive platform, creators can seamlessly generate agent wallets, define specific policies, discover new services, interact with APIs, and facilitate payments using USDC.

Мы рады сообщить, что cirBTC теперь официально доступен в сети Ethereum. Функционируя как токен, обеспеченный BTC в соотношении 1:1, он будет поддерживать нативную Arc сразу после запуска основной сети.

Созданный специально для повышения прозрачности токенизированного BTC, этот актив включает несколько важных механизмов безопасности и проверки. Чтобы обеспечить подотчетность, cirBTC использует раздельное хранение BTC наряду с раскрытыми адресами резервов. Кроме того, система включает Chainlink Proof of Reserve и предоставляет полный доступ к данным резерва в блокчейне для простого подтверждения.

Объединяя все эти элементы, токен формирует высокопрозрачную резервную основу для обеспеченного BTC залога, используемого на поддерживаемых программируемых рынках.

The Circle Agent Stack enables automated assistants to go far beyond simply producing basic market summaries. We have created a new tutorial that guides you through the process of developing a research-focused trading thesis agent.

By following this guide, you will learn how to integrate an Agent Wallet so your creation can independently source market insights from Arrays and seamlessly cover the data costs using USDC. Furthermore, the assistant is designed to strictly adhere to your specified budget and provide proof of purchase alongside its final research thesis.

Please note that this setup focuses entirely on the analytical side and does not involve any actual trade execution. Instead, it perfectly combines logical reasoning, the acquisition of premium paid data, and comprehensive expense monitoring into one cohesive workflow.

Объявление о партнерстве Circle и @OKX

Надежная ликвидность со стороны доверенных долларовых стейблкоинов быстро становится фундаментальной опорой торговой инфраструктуры, поскольку рынки цифровых активов продолжают масштабироваться. Признавая это развитие, Circle объединилась с OKX в рамках новой совместной инициативы.

Эта совместная работа направлена на существенное повышение как торговой полезности, так и общей ликвидности USDC на всей платформе OKX. Благодаря такому соответствию биржа теперь поддерживает гораздо более широкий доступ к рынкам, номинированным в USDC. В результате пользователи, соответствующие требованиям, смогут найти больше способов для исполнения своих сделок с использованием USDC — при этом повышенная доступность распространяется на спотовую, маржинальную и фьючерсную торговлю.
