Chelsea Partners with USDC Creator Circle on Borderless Vision

Circle Internet Group, Inc., the parent company of cryptocurrency stablecoin USDC, has become Chelsea Football Club's front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026-27 season.

The partnership marks a significant step in Circle's goal to make money as open and accessible as the internet. By reducing the cost and friction of moving value, they believe they can broaden participation in the global economy.

Circle's CEO, Jeremy Allaire, said: 'We built USDC on the belief that money should work seamlessly for everyone everywhere, the way the internet does.'

The Circle and USDC brands will appear on the front of Chelsea's Men's, Women's, and Academy shirts, starting with the first Premier League home game against Brighton this Sunday.
