Circle has announced its participation in the Circle Alliance Program, a global network aimed at fostering innovation in finance. The initiative is designed to connect like-minded companies and teams focused on the future of finance, particularly in the realms of USDC and web3 technologies. Additionally, MoonPay has partnered with Valora to enhance mobile-first experiences for cryptocurrency users, making USDT and USDC available on the Celo network. Sandra Persing highlighted the role of Circle in empowering developers to create sustainable communities through the use of $EURC and $USDC. The Circle Grant Program has also launched its first cohort, featuring projects like DePlan, which optimizes pricing based on usage, and Fanpool, which leverages USDC for its operations. These developments underscore a concerted effort to build a robust ecosystem around digital currencies and decentralized applications.
