USDC Enters Mainstream Finance as Circle Links With Finastra for Cross-Border Payments
Circle has partnered with financial software provider Finastra to embed USDC settlement into the Global Payplus platform, allowing banks to conduct faster and cheaper international transfers while still operating in fiat.
The integration lets institutions settle payments in USDC without overhauling existing systems, reducing reliance on traditional correspondent banking chains. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire called the alliance a pivotal step in expanding stablecoin adoption across global finance, while Finastra emphasized that the collaboration gives banks a practical way to innovate in cross-border payments.
The move highlights how blockchain-based settlement is increasingly merging with traditional banking infrastructure.
