Confirmo turns rising demand for USDC into a stronger global payments business

For many businesses operating in highly regulated environments, USDC¹ carries advantages that matter, including Circle’s regulatory standing, the transparency of USDC reserves, and the confidence that comes from working with a stablecoin that enterprise teams already recognize and are more prepared to underwrite.

As demand grew, indirect access became a weak point

Confirmo’s core value proposition depends on helping businesses move money quickly and predictably across borders, often through deposits, payments, and mass payouts. As USDC became an increasingly dominant part of customer demand, Confirmo’s prior approach — relying on non-direct acquisition paths — introduced a strategic limitation. 

Scaling USDC volumes to match growth required a more direct infrastructure relationship. Moving forward, Confirmo needed an approach that matched both the volume it was seeing and the level of scrutiny its enterprise customers were applying.

As an added layer of complexity, Confirmo also operates in Europe under a rigorous compliance environment. Under the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, regulatory posture can become a competitive differentiator — especially when customers are choosing infrastructure partners for long-term payment flows, not one-off transactions, and as demand begins to expand beyond dollar-denominated stablecoins to euro-based options like EURC.²

To meet rising demand while reinforcing confidence with compliance teams, Confirmo needed a direct relationship with the issuer of USDC who meets these regulatory requirements: Circle.

A stronger foundation for growth 

Confirmo implemented USDC as a core settlement currency for its payment platform and formalized a direct relationship with Circle, aligning its USDC capabilities with the issuer that customers recognized and requested.

In practice, this shift mattered in three ways. First, it let Confirmo meet customer demand more directly in the markets where USDC had already become the preferred asset. When customers already know which stablecoin they want to use, clean support for that asset removes friction from onboarding, expansion, and daily usage.

Second, it gave Confirmo a stronger position in front of enterprise buyers. In deals where legal, risk, and compliance teams are involved, confidence in the underlying payment stack matters. Being able to point to a direct relationship with Circle gave Confirmo a clearer and more credible answer when those teams asked why USDC was part of the platform and how that choice was supported.

And third, infrastructure-level use of USDC gave Confirmo flexibility across major blockchain networks and the ability to support different customer preferences without forcing everyone into the same path.

The business got stronger as USDC became core to the platform

With a direct path to Circle and with USDC fully established as a core settlement currency, Confirmo was able to support growing demand with more confidence and consistency — internally and in front of customer compliance teams.

That showed up in the business in measurable ways. Confirmo has processed $100 million in USDC to date, serves customers in 141 countries, and reports 99.97% uptime across its payments infrastructure.³

The commercial impact mattered too. Confirmo says that being able to point to a direct relationship with Circle helped move enterprise conversations forward, particularly where vendor assurance is a gating factor.³ It also gave customer compliance and legal teams more confidence in Confirmo’s USDC offering.

Internally, the shift gave Confirmo’s team a stronger foundation for selling and supporting its stablecoin capabilities. The company reports churn below 1% and sees its stablecoin offering as an important driver of retention. Transaction volume is continuing to grow, and Confirmo expects volumes to keep rising through 2026.

Building for where the market is moving

For Confirmo, making USDC core to the platform was about aligning the business with what customers were already asking for. As dollar-denominated stablecoin payments keep moving into more serious business use cases, Confirmo only sees room to grow, citing a similar dynamic taking shape around EURC as European businesses increasingly look for a euro-denominated stablecoin that meets MiCA requirements.

By building around USDC now, Confirmo has put itself in a stronger position for what comes next: serving customer demand with infrastructure that is faster, more credible, and better matched to how regulated businesses want to move money.
