Stablecoins like USDC are redefining how money moves - near-instant, programmable, and borderless - opening the door for institutions to create new value and deepen client relationships as we step into a new future in finance. Financial institutions are under pressure to launch new stablecoin-based products at speed while meeting security and compliance requirements, to access diverse liquidity providers to serve customer settlement and pricing needs, and to do so while navigating an evolving landscape of regulatory, operational, and technological demands. The collaboration between Circle and Fireblocks can provide the infrastructure to meet these challenges head-on, enabling institutions to bring custody, tokenization, and stablecoin payments into production with confidence.

All integrations will be underpinned by Arc¹, a new open Layer-1 enterprise-grade blockchain purpose-built for stablecoin finance. With Fireblocks' early support for Arc, thousands of institutions will be able to securely build, deploy, and transact on programmable money rails.
The strategic collaboration follows the announcement of Fireblocks Network for Payments, an initiative connecting payment providers, banks, fintechs, and other organization with trusted access, liquidity, and compliance required for stablecoin payments and the recent launch of Circle Payments Network (CPN)² an innovative platform for financial institutions to use stablecoins for global payments.
