How we do it

Your free Circle Account is the fastest, easiest way to access USD Coin — or USDC — the world’s most trusted dollar digital currency. Giving you the flexibility and liquidity you need to boost returns and move at the speed of the internet. Meet the Circle team.

Optimize working capital and liquidity

Even if you’re not actively trading in crypto markets, you can allocate funds into short-term interest rate** products that are fully secured with Bitcoin and built entirely on USDC, without the volatility and many of the risks typically associated with digital currencies. Funds in Circle Yield* are overcollateralized, and all collateral is kept safe with BitGo, a third-party custodian with more than 400 institutional clients, for added principal protection. Our partner is Genesis Global Capital, a full-service digital asset trading firm.****

Capture market opportunities in an instant

Unlike some traditional asset classes, digital asset markets are always open. USDC, available through a free Circle Account, is the most trusted way to settle digital dollars on-chain — almost instantly — without the need to interact with the traditional banking system. Offering the market liquidity you need to enter and exit crypto positions quickly.

Fund your trading account faster

Transfer funds almost instantly into and out of your trading accounts via Silvergate’s Exchange Network (SEN) and Signature’s SigNet platform. USDC Express is the fastest way to access USDC. You can deposit funds from your bank account into your Circle Account, automatically convert them into USDC and then send USDC to your trading wallet address — all within seconds. And you can sweep USDC from your Circle Account back into your bank account at any time, with the same speed and ease.

Trust, transparency and compliance

USDC is fully backed by cash and equivalents and short-duration U.S. Treasuries, so that it is always redeemable 1:1 for U.S. dollars. Each month, we publish attestation reports by Grant Thornton regarding the reserve balances backing USDC. We are also a licensed money transmitter in 46 U.S. states, plus Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico.
