Until recently, where you lived could be the most important factor in where you worked, who you collaborated with, and how you could live your life. But the open internet has changed the world, and millions of people are now working with one another while living hundreds or thousands of miles apart.
Commerce and the way we work have expanded beyond the borders we recognize today, but in many places money has lagged behind. Cross-border payments are costly and inefficient, and access to money is not available to everyone. USDC brings the strength of the dollar to cross-border payments for millions of people.
USDC is a digital dollar that works like the open internet, moving fast and connecting people around the world with opportunities to send, spend, save and access digital dollars on a more level playing field.
Stablecoin payments powered by USDC
Keyla* lives in Argentina while working for an ecommerce company based in Spain. She gets paid in USDC, allowing her to take advantage of dollar stability when others are contending with high inflation. Converting USD to Argentine pesos and back again can be challenging and expensive on the ground, but future-forward businesses like Lemon make converting to and from USDC easy using a smartphone from the comfort of home.
With the stability of the US dollar, USDC has allowed Keyla to work while studying, traveling, and pursuing her dream of starting her own small business outside of Buenos Aires. See how USDC can offer US dollar stability while building a career, or visit Circle Stories to learn more about how open money unlocks new opportunities every day.
