Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, is expanding its global partnerships by collaborating with OKX and Ant International, a subsidiary of Ant Group. The partnership with Ant International aims to integrate USDC into its blockchain platform, pending US compliance. Ant International is also seeking stablecoin-related licenses in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Luxembourg. Previously, Circle established a partnership with OKX, allowing users to exchange US dollars and USDC at a 1:1 ratio, with banks assisting in optimizing fiat currency processes. These collaborations are enhancing the USDC ecosystem's global reach and prominence in the financial system.
