New Tools for Web3 Businesses with the Circle Account

Circle Mint

Organizations in many jurisdictions are leveraging the power of the new Circle Account to power their business growth, lower costs and add new efficiencies to their operations. As Web3 service providers continue to adopt digital asset infrastructure, the Circle Account offers a unique solution for using USD Coin (USDC) to manage, diversify and allocate treasury assets for growth. The Circle Account makes it easy for digitally native businesses to transact across eight leading blockchain networks with the speed and cost-effectiveness of Web3 infrastructure, while maintaining a connection to traditional financial rails and accounts.

 

Simplified access to Circle Yield*

As of November 17, 2022, Circle Yield is not accepting new loans. We are evaluating future updates to the program.

Born and raised within the digital asset ecosystem, many organizations building on or with Web3 infrastructure are deeply familiar with transacting using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Many have raised funds paid in crypto assets, often receiving enough capital to generate years of runway as they execute their vision. But direct exposure to crypto assets can also introduce volatility to treasury reserves that these businesses rely on to fund their operations in the long term.

Circle Yield is an alternative to holding USDC or staking native crypto assets. Circle Yield uses USDC for use in crypto capital markets and generates returns by filling demand for stablecoins on-chain, rather than by helping secure a blockchain network. In some cases, rates offered by Circle Yield can be greater than those offered by staking cryptocurrencies and are locked in for the duration of the loan, with terms ranging from one to twelve months.

The Circle Account makes it easy for qualified businesses and financial institutions to seamlessly invest into crypto capital markets, view earnings and manage their Yield positions within a unified interface. Digitally native organizations now have simplified access to Circle Yield, which operates under a clear regulatory framework to provide investments using on-chain assets, all built with the efficiency and security of USDC.

 

Transaction reporting made easy

Keeping track of blockchain-based payments, receivables and spending can be challenging, requiring time-consuming analysis of on-chain transactions or expensive third-party services to compile data for tax and compliance reporting.

Now, data exports for all USDC transactions to and from the Circle Account are available, dramatically reducing the overhead required to track and report hundreds or thousands of transactions each day. With the Circle Account, organizations can do business at the speed of the internet with confidence that transactions can be easily reviewed on demand.

In addition to on-chain asset management, the Circle Account makes it easy for Web3 businesses to maintain a link to the traditional financial system, with support for traditional bank wires. It’s easy to pay many suppliers in USDC without relying on complex, multi-step off-ramps to access fiat USD.

It’s all available in a beautifully redesigned user interface crafted to help organizations around the globe operate more efficiently and grow their businesses without straying from their digitally native roots.

If your Web3 business is looking for a unified solution to enhance operations within the digital asset ecosystem and provide a trusted bridge to the traditional financial system, get started with a free Circle Account today.
