Sign up for updates on Circle Yield, offering above-above average returns on business capital using Circle infrastructure and USDC.
The past several months has brought tremendous validation to the crypto asset and digital currency market. Leading asset managers have begun to allocate into crypto, while bold moves have been made by corporate treasurers in public companies such as MicroStrategy and Square allocating their balance sheet into crypto assets.
This has corresponded with a dramatic rise in crypto asset funds such as Greyscale, and global fintech giant PayPal announcing crypto asset purchases in their flagship PayPal Wallet.
Alongside this crypto asset market growth, digital dollar stablecoins have continued their ascent as the fastest growing category of digital currency, both in terms of units in circulation (market capitalization) and on-blockchain transaction volumes (total payment volume).
While stablecoins such as USDC have become bedrocks for how fiat currency moves in the support of crypto asset markets, it’s also grown dramatically as a liquid digital dollar used in rapidly growing internet-based borrowing and lending markets.
More and more blockchain native firms are leveraging USDC for working capital, payments and settlement, and broader treasury functions as they interact and transact in a crypto native financial market infrastructure.
What might have begun as a means to settle a trade, has become a means for putting capital to work -- in markets that run 24/7/365, are globally connected and settle with the speed and efficiency of the internet, a capital markets improvement that within a few years we will look back on as totally obvious and inevitable.
Circle Yield
As of November 17, 2022, Circle Yield is not accepting new loans. We are evaluating future updates to the program.
Over the course of 2020, Circle has been rolling out a suite of APIs and account infrastructure for businesses to tap into the power of USDC for payments, commerce and financial applications.
Helping these companies connect the funds they are storing and collecting as USDC into yield in crypto capital markets is a tremendous opportunity.
It's with this backdrop that we are excited to announce our plans to introduce short-term high yield business accounts* built entirely on USDC with terms ranging from one to twelve months.
With Circle Yield, businesses and startups can earn yield on their working capital, or offer it to their own customers*** as an alternative to traditional cash management offerings.
