.@circle's CEO just made a statement that significantly changes the crypto landscape.
"We operate a stablecoin network (...) That network consists of thousands of products and services that have integrated into our network."
At first glance, Circle "issues a stablecoin": $USDC
But in reality, Circle is building something far more ambitious: a completely new financial infrastructure.
And that's where many miss the point - which also explains Circle's strong performance on Wall Street.
Everyone looks at the USDC stablecoin.
But the real story is the network behind it.
Circle isn't just a "stablecoin provider" (USDC and EURC).
It's a global network for transfers, payments, savings, and credit - integrated directly into wallets, apps, DeFi protocols, and financial institutions worldwide.
In other words: stablecoins aren't just a monetary innovation.
They're crypto's "killer app."
The missing link between TradFi and blockchain.
- Instant transfers,
- Native transparency,
- Integrated smart contracts,
- Global interoperability,
This is why banks, Big Tech, funds, governments... are all getting involved.
Not because it's trendy. Because it's the new foundation.
And @jerallaire understood this before anyone else (since 2013 🤯).
Today, stablecoins represent $250 billion.
Tomorrow? 10, 20, perhaps 50 times more.
And at the center of this wave will be infrastructures like Circle.
Not flashy. Not speculative. But essential.
The real crypto revolution isn't visible.
It integrates into the back-end of everything you use.
