Circle Internet Group (CRCL) is a global financial technology company founded in 2013 and best-known as the issuer of USD Coin (USDC), the world's second-largest stablecoin by market capitalization. Based in New York, Circle operates a full-stack internet financial platform built around three pillars: Arc Blockchain and Developer Infrastructure, Circle Digital Assets and Services, and Circle Applications.
