Bybit and Circle Team Up to Expand Global USDC Access
On December 8, 2025, Bybit said it has entered a strategic partnership with Circle aimed at boosting USDC liquidity and making the stablecoin more accessible across its global user base. The UAE-licensed exchange framed the deal as a way to combine Circle’s stablecoin infrastructure with Bybit’s trading and custody capabilities to support compliant digital asset services.
The collaboration signals a push toward deeper stablecoin integration in regions seeking clearer regulatory frameworks and reliable on-ramps. By improving liquidity and market access, the partnership could reduce slippage for traders, open new corridors for payments and remittances, and help institutions use USDC in regulated environments. Both firms emphasized compliance and operational coordination as central to the initiative, positioning the tie-up as a practical step toward wider, regulation-friendly USDC adoption.
