Binance Invests $100 Million in Circle to Boost USDC Adoption

Binance has invested $100 million in Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, as part of an expanded five-year agreement to promote USDC on its cryptocurrency exchange.

The deal replaces previous agreements between the companies and includes a private placement where Circle issued Binance 1.24 million Class A shares at $80.84 each on September 17, 2026.

Binance will integrate USDC into additional savings and investment products and offer incentives around USDC trading.
