Circle to take USDC into ~50 emerging markets, Allaire says

Circle is taking USDC into around 50 emerging markets across Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, CEO Jeremy Allaire told Reuters, calling the move "an inflection point" as the stablecoin shifts from early adopter phase to mainstream scaling. Demand for digital dollars is rising as banks and payment firms integrate stablecoins into their services.

• The target market count, as described by Allaire, is around 50 emerging markets, up from earlier reports citing 40 markets across Asia, Africa and Latin America.
• No specific markets, rollout timing or product details were disclosed in the report.
