Perguntas frequentes

Os pagamentos internacionais com a Circle e o USDC são realizados em três etapas simples:

  1. Acesso ao USDC: acesse o USDC usando o Circle Mint, uma corretora ou outro provedor de liquidez.
  2. Envio do USDC ao destinatário: inicie uma transação para a carteira do destinatário por meio da blockchain.
  3. Distribute to beneficiaries: Beneficiaries can receive USDC in their wallets (see how you can create in-app wallets using Wallets) or they can receive local currency in their bank accounts.

A solução de pagamento cross-border da Circle é segura porque foi desenvolvida com base no USDC e utiliza a tecnologia blockchain para concluir as transações. As reservas de USDC da Circle são transparentes, auditadas mensalmente e lastreadas em dinheiro e ativos equivalentes a dinheiro.

Os pagamentos internacionais tradicionais podem ser processados por redes de correspondentes bancários, o que pode envolver a movimentação de fundos por meio de várias instituições intermediárias que podem cobrar uma taxa e levar um dia ou mais para processar cada etapa da transação.

Algumas regiões carecem de infraestrutura bancária adequada, resultando em populações sem acesso a serviços bancários ou com acesso limitado. Nesses casos, os pagamentos tradicionais podem ser difíceis ou impossíveis de fazer. Em contraste, basta um dispositivo conectado à internet e uma carteira digital para realizar pagamentos internacionais com USDC, sem necessidade de contas bancárias.

A solução de pagamento cross-border da Circle difere das transferências SWIFT realizadas por correspondentes bancários das seguintes maneiras:

  • Liquidação 24 horas: a liquidação instantânea do USDC, em comparação com a liquidação em lote ao final do dia útil do SWIFT, representa necessidades de liquidez global e custo de capital menores.
  • Menos intermediários: a solução de pagamento internacional da Circle não exige o envolvimento de correspondentes bancários. Os pagamentos vão diretamente do remetente para o destinatário, independentemente dos países em que se encontram. Como resultado, as taxas dos correspondentes bancários e os atrasos e riscos de liquidação são minimizados. Além disso, a solução da Circle torna mais fácil e mais barato chegar até os países menos desenvolvidos, com infraestrutura financeira abaixo do ideal.
  • Escolha do destinatário: o destinatário pode receber USDC ou moeda local, dependendo da preferência pessoal.
  • Acompanhamento em tempo real: você sempre sabe onde seus fundos estão e não se preocupa com onde eles podem estar.

Embora existam outras soluções de pagamento cross-border via blockchain disponíveis, a solução da Circle se diferencia das demais porque é:

  • Público: o USDC é um protocolo aberto baseado em blockchains públicas. Isso é muito útil para os destinatários, pois eles podem fazer o câmbio de volta para moeda fiduciária ou enviar os dólares digitais para outras pessoas.
  • Aberto e interoperável: O USDC funciona em várias blockchains e tem alta liquidez em aplicativos de decentralized finance (finanças descentralizadas), o que significa que seus ativos não dependem de uma única empresa para ser usados.
  • Estável: para clientes do Circle Mint, o USDC pode ser regatado à proporção de 1:1 por dólares americanos, o que faz dele uma reserva de valor estável e um mecanismo de pagamento.
  • Plataforma completa: a Circle oferece stablecoins, carteiras, smart contracts (contratos inteligentes) e outras ferramentas de desenvolvimento de blockchain, tudo em um só lugar.
