In addition, Circle has also recently announced it was expanding its services into the Brazilian market with a partnership with Nubank, a leading fintech company in the country. This decision is expected to allow for increased accessibility of digital dollars in Brazil, as well as convenient, efficient, and 24/7 availability of USDC.

The expansion entails collaborations with distinguished Brazilian financial organizations like BTG Pactual to bring USDC to the retail and institutional markets.
