Circle has unveiled USDCKit, a new tool designed to make USDC payment integration easier for businesses. According to a Mar. 27 announcement on Circle’s official blog, the demand for stablecoins has been rising despite market volatility. Stablecoins have found a strong product-market fit in both the web3 and traditional finance sectors. However, many companies struggle to set up stablecoin transactions due to technical and compliance hurdles. USDCKit will help remove these barriers by providing large-scale payment processing, automated fund transfers, and integrated regulatory tools. Any business that handles large amounts of USD Coin ( USDC ) transactions could benefit, even though payment service providers and remittance platforms will probably be the first users. USDCKit will also facilitate the smooth transfer of USDC between networks by supporting several blockchains, such as Ethereum ( ETH ), Solana ( SOL ), and Avalanche ( AVAX ). Introducing USDCKit, a developer-friendly SDK for PSPs to integrate and automate USDC payments at scale. Built for Circle Wallets, USDCKit makes it easy to power cross-border payments and streamline treasury operations with stablecoins.

Meanwhile, Circle has been expanding USDC’s reach in key regions around the world. Following regulator approval, SBI VC Trade, a subsidiary of Japan’s SBI Holdings, began full-scale USDC trading in Japan on Mar. 26. The Philippines’ largest digital wallet provider, GCash, has also integrated USDC to support its massive stablecoin remittance market, valued at $65 billion annually. Additionally, USDC and Circle’s Euro-backed EURC are now the first stablecoins to be approved for use in Dubai’s economic free zone With $2.67 billion in new USDC issued last month, its market value now stands at nearly $60 billion, as per DefiLlama data . Tether ( USDT ) still leads the stablecoin market with a 61.93% market share, but Circle is pushing forward with strategic partnerships, regulatory approvals, and tools like USDCKit to drive wider adoption.

While most people are still trying to understand what blockchain is, Bette Chen has already rolled up her sleeves and helped build it from the inside. Rather than just being a spectator, this University of Auckland graduate chose an unusual path. Who would have thought that her interest in reading the Bitcoin whitepaper would be the turning point that changed the entire direction of her life. Initially, Bette was just an ordinary software engineer. She worked at a technology company, went through a routine, and had a fairly stable future. But on the other hand, her curiosity about the world of decentralized finance grew. She then made the decision to pursue an MBA, going all the way to the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University. This combination of technical logic and business instincts is what later became a strong foundation when she entered the crypto industry. After her MBA, Bette did not immediately build an empire. She started from the bottom again, this time focusing on products that bridge technology and finance. Together with her team, she founded Laminar—a platform for synthetic assets and margin trading. In 2019, Bette and her colleagues from Laminar and Polkawallet decided to form Acala Network. Their vision was simple but ambitious: to create a cross-chain DeFi hub on the Polkadot network. In simple terms, think of Acala as a ‘digital bank’ in the crypto world that can be accessed across networks, complete with stablecoins , staking, and a DEX. It didn’t take long for Acala to steal the show. In November 2021, they won the first parachain slot on Polkadot via a crowdloan with 32 million DOT backing. If converted, it was worth more than $1.3 billion at that time. That’s an incredible amount, and it’s clear evidence of the community’s trust in Bette and her team’s vision. However, no journey is completely smooth. In August 2022, Acala faced a major crisis. A misconfiguration in the liquidity pool caused 3 billion aUSD to be minted that shouldn’t have existed. Rather than avoiding or blaming the team, Bette took an active role in solving the problem. She led the community to track down and burn the misminted tokens, and restore stability to the network. It’s not just about technicalities, it’s about trust. And more importantly, it’s about leadership. In a crypto industry often filled with false promises and fickle projects, Bette’s approach feels refreshing—transparent, responsive, and drama-free. Furthermore, Bette doesn’t merely write code in the background. She also actively speaks on forums, podcasts, and social media. On the X platform, she often shares her views on the future of DeFi , interoperability, and the challenges of building a cross-chain ecosystem. Sometimes serious, sometimes lighthearted—but always down-to-earth. What sets Bette apart from most crypto founders is perhaps her rare combination of technical expertise, deep understanding of the market, and a strong human instinct. She doesn’t speak in confusing jargon, but she talks about solutions, opportunities, and responsibilities.

XRP continues to stir community interest as debate flares over its relevance in a future financial system featuring private bank ledgers and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). This ongoing discussion occurs as banks worldwide increasingly explore these new digital currency technologies. With CBDCs potentially offering direct government-backed digital currency pathways, speculation grew that XRP’s long-argued role as a neutral bridge currency could diminish. However, proponents contend its function remains essential for efficient cross-border value transfer. They point to how Ripple’s solutions (often involving XRP) can allow seamless payments between different fiat currencies or digital assets, potentially reducing the need for banks to pre-fund accounts with large sums in multiple currencies (a costly process known as maintaining nostro/vostro accounts ). A key point revolves around the apparent bank preference for private, permissioned ledgers, fueling fears they might bypass public bridge assets like XRP altogether, perhaps using internal liquidity pools or privately issued stablecoins. XRP advocates counter that even if banks operate on private ledgers for internal processes, XRP’s ability to efficiently source external liquidity on demand and enable rapid settlement maintains its utility for connecting these ‘walled gardens’ for cross-border flows.

The debate gained further traction after Ripple co-founder David Schwartz commented on the inherent limitations of simply creating wrapped, tokenized versions of each individual CBDC. He noted that merely wrapping a CBDC onto another chain doesn’t automatically create usable liquidity between different sovereign digital currencies. Schwartz highlighted the potential inefficiency: managing, for instance, 90 distinct bilateral trading pairs to directly connect just ten different CBDCs would be cumbersome. A neutral bridge asset like XRP, he implied, could streamline this process dramatically. Commentators often point out that XRP’s key advantage, particularly compared to legacy systems, lies in its potential to unlock capital trapped in traditional payment networks. The decades-old SWIFT messaging system, combined with correspondent banking, frequently requires banks to hold substantial, often idle funds in nostro accounts globally, simply to facilitate international payments – which creates significant capital inefficiencies.

A certain few also suggest that for less common, low-liquidity currency corridors, XRP remains a particularly effective settlement tool.
