Jack Dorsey’s TBD and Circle to Support USDC Cross-Border Transfer and Savings
Jack Dorsey’s TBD, in a tweet on September 29, announced a partnership with Circle to support cross-border remittances and self-custody of USDC stablecoin.The Bitcoin-focused subsidiary of payment company Block aims to enable mainstream adoption of digital currency in payments and financial applications globally.
“We’re partnering with Circle to solve some of our biggest money challenges, including decentralized, global on-and-off-ramps between fiat and crypto worlds that can power global use cases from cross-border remittances to self-custody of stablecoins.”
Emily Chiu, chief operating officer at TBD, believes Bitcoin might become a reserve currency in the future, challenging the dominance of the U.S.dollar.Whereas, stablecoins will be the bridge between them.
TBD will support USDC stablecoin for various use cases that make it easy for developers to build on Block’s tbDEX protocol and its Web5 decentralized identity platform.The use cases include connecting traditional payments to digital assets for consumers and businesses, real-time and low-cost remittances globally, and self-custody wallets for USD-backed stablecoins.
