The Circle team is excited and looks forward to furthering collaboration with Liquid in its expansion plans. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire stated:

“We are thrilled to see Liquid launch support for USDC. As the leading exchange for the Japanese Yen market and a pioneer in the cryptocurrency exchange market, they are a strong partner for USDC. We share a common vision of an open, connected and global financial system built on cryptocurrency assets and blockchain technology.”
