Circle Launches USDC Expansion into Australia and Asia Pacific
Circle is making significant strides by launching its USDC stablecoin in Australia and the Asia Pacific region, collaborating with MHC Digital Group, led by venture capitalist Mark Carnegie.
This partnership aims to leverage Australia and Singapore’s financial systems to boost the utility of USDC.
The alliance focuses on facilitating access to USDC for institutional clients, improving transaction efficiency, and lowering costs for cross-border payments. Circle’s Chief Business Officer, Kash Razzaghi, expressed enthusiasm about this collaboration, highlighting its potential to revolutionize digital finance in the region.
This expansion also reflects Circle’s commitment to regulatory compliance, having recently obtained a license from the EU for its USDC and EURC stablecoins, making it the first stablecoin issuer licensed in the European Union.

The firm recently extended USDC to Brazil and Mexico, and is introducing a Compliance Engine to aid developers in navigating regulatory challenges, promoting a secure environment for crypto innovation. Additionally, it plans to support USDC on Sony’s new Ethereum layer 2 blockchain, Soneium, further enhancing its reach in the digital asset space.
