Welcoming the Gateway Team to Circle

At Circle, we believe privacy is a cornerstone of the next evolution in onchain finance. As we continue building foundational infrastructure for stablecoin-based payments and onchain finance, we're excited to welcome the team from Gateway DAO, Inc., to Circle.

This exciting move comes through our acquisition of Gateway, an industry-leading onchain privacy protocol. The six members of the Gateway team bring deep expertise in cryptography, secure computation, and decentralized systems. They have developed cutting-edge encrypted computing technology and pioneered privacy-first applications across payments, DeFi, identity, and AI use cases. Their work is poised to become an essential building block for the kinds of confidential, compliant, and programmable money experiences Circle is enabling through USDC.

Circle’s acquisition of Gateway reflects our commitment to advancing compliant, onchain privacy, especially for institutions and developers building onchain financial applications. With Gateway’s world-class engineers and product talent now part of Circle, we’re making private, verifiable, and scalable stablecoin transactions a reality.

Stay tuned for more updates. We are thrilled for what comes next.
