Coinbase and Circle, five years after jointly launching USDC, are evolving their partnership. Coinbase is acquiring an equity stake in Circle, emphasizing their shared vision for the financial future.

To further its reach, USDC will launch on six new blockchains between September and October, expanding its multi-chain presence to 15.

With clearer global stablecoin regulations, Circle will assume all governance, including smart contract management.  The Centre Consortium, initially governing USDC, will dissolve.
