I spent time on the ground in Jakarta over the last few days and came away more convinced that it will play a growing and significant role in the internet financial system In many ways it already is; Indonesia has extremely high crypto and stablecoin adoption. Hard to think otherwise after meeting so many leading entrepreneurs and innovators. William Sutanto of indodax has built Indonesia's largest crypto assets platform. Calvin Kizana and sndyc of Tokocrypto operate one of Indonesia’s leading platforms, focused on delivering simple, secure, and seamless crypto trading and transactions. The Mobee team is focused on providing seamless access to digital asset trading and liquidity through an easy-to-use platform for both individuals and businesses. It was so great to spend time again with Vince Iswara, founder and CEO of DANA.id, which continues to improve the financial wellbeing of so many through innovation, and is the largest digital wallet platform in Indonesia. Kai and his team ICEx Group have built an OJK-licensed bourse for digital assets, operating Indonesia’s integrated exchange alongside clearing and custody infrastructure. Archie Anugrah, Andy Putra, shabrina adani and the whole team Pintu have built a mobile-first digital asset platform that serves millions and has been innovating in the space from the early days. Natasha Ardiani and the team at Durianpay are laser focused on making payments seamless across the entire ecosystem. The Lippo Group and Nobu Bank are thinking deeply about the digital future at one of Asia’s largest diversified conglomerates and digital bank, clearly poised to continue the firm’s legacy as an industry pioneer in Indonesia and beyond. jeth_soetoyo of CFX and I first met in 2018 before Circle had even launched USDC! It’s impressive what he did with Pintu and is now doing with PT Central Finansial X (CFX), a licensed bourse that is on a mission to accelerate the adoption of digital assets. I got to meet with him and leaders from ICC, KKI and IKS. D3Labs.io is a secure and compliant asset tokenization infrastructure for asset issuance, management, and transactions. taking an innovative approach to tokenization and real world assets. It was great to meet Chung Ying Lai and Tigran Adiwirya. They have a deep commitment to the local crypto community! Very strong energy across the board, excited about what we can do together and the potential for growth in this highly dynamic market.

BREAKING NEWS: Circle has announced that we are moving our Global HQ to New York City, building out a flagship space on one of the top floors of 1 World Trade Center, an historically important landmark in standing for American global economic leadership. Details below the video. I’m thrilled to celebrate this milestone with an event including leading financial industry firms, crypto industry leaders and policymakers. We are also sharing this announcement video that captures the moment and inspiration. Why is this important for Crypto, Circle, New York, America and the US Dollar? Since our founding, we have envisioned building a new internet financial system on the foundations of crypto – open networks, open source software, open protocols, decentralized and distributed infrastructure – and building on and expanding the capabilities of the largest and most important currencies in the world, starting with the US dollar. 11 years into our founding, that vision is coming alive in a tremendous and exciting way, with USDC now powering trillions of dollars of onchain transactions, with thousands of developers and applications building on this innovation, and with increasing legal clarity that digital dollars like USDC are new forms of legal electronic money that can be used widely around the world. As this technology explodes into the mainstream, and as Circle becomes a more and more important company and infrastructure for this new internet financial system, it became clear that we needed to plant our flag, both literally and figuratively, in the heart of Wall Street, in the most important economic center of the world, and in the great country of the United States of America. Many complain that the United States is not the right jurisdiction to build a company in our industry, and that the current government here remains hostile to this industry. I couldn’t disagree more. My view is that we are at a turning point, and that the US is about to become THE decisive leader in building and supporting this technology and financial revolution. We are an American Technology champion, and we want to demonstrate that the highest quality, the best run, the safest and the most powerful technology for the new internet financial system calls not just the US, but New York City, it’s home. Today, New York City is home to an enormous number of crypto firms that are leading and innovating in nearly every area of this industry. New York may have the most talent-density in crypto of any city in the world. It’s truly astounding, and we feel so privileged to join this thriving community of companies with a flagship headquarters in New York. After having originally founded the company in Boston, like many technology-driven companies, we have scaled out largely as a remote-first operation. Today, we span 36 US states and 14 countries, with a presence in many of the world’s leading cities including New York, SF Bay Area, Boston, London, Dublin, Paris, Singapore, Berlin, São Paulo, Taipei and more. And we are growing all around the world. But through this, New York has become a crucial nexus of talent, connectivity and a core location for where we convene. 1 World Trade Center is an awe-inspiring building. Its history is known to nearly everyone; this iconic tower, the tallest in the Western hemisphere, stands for freedom, strength, and a projection of America’s central role in the global economic system. Freedom Tower stands above the great pillars of the global economic system – Wall St., the New York Stock Exchange, the New York Federal Reserve, and more. Sitting on a top floor of the tower, Circle’s new flagship HQ is being built not as a traditional office, but rather as a powerful convening space, where we bring together all of our stakeholders to collaborate together, discover, and build the new internet financial system. It’s going to be an amazing and inspiring space that helps bring to life everything that we do at Circle. Today, we are celebrating this new HQ, joined in person in New York by industry, political and key partners who have been central to Circle’s growth and success. Join us virtually in this next phase of our journey. We are investing in New York. We are investing in America. We believe strongly that the infrastructure we are collectively building – this new internet financial system – will be the foundation for the next hundred years of global economic activity and coordination. 2024 has been a turning point year in crypto, a year when stablecoins started to truly breakout in scale, importance and usage. 2025 will be the year when this goes mainstream. As we open our new HQ to the world in early 2025, we will be thrilled to host and convene and see many of you there for this next phase of our collective journey in building a more open, inclusive, safer and efficient global economic system.

Just wrapped an incredible few days in Seoul. South Korea is moving fast on stablecoin and digital asset regulation — and the ambition here to do things right is real. Met with an extraordinary range of leaders: superapps like KakaoGroup, leading crypto exchanges, banks, reporters, and influencers building the next generation of internet finance and the agentic economy. Crypto adoption is sky high and the country is focused on doing things the right way. We are proud to announce expanded work with Dunamu, the operator of Upbit, to support responsible adoption of digital assets: We also announced expanded work with Bithumb to enhance stablecoin infrastructure and improve the understanding of stablecoins: We met with the team at Coinone and their dedication to building the safest crypto exchange is clear. We were happy to get to see companies like BDACS building a Korean won-backed stablecoin on Arc, our economic operating system, and leaders from Hashed, Hecto Financial, Danal, Travel Wallet, Samsung Card, Toss, Hyundai Card, Koda, Shinhan Bank, KB Financial Group, Shinhan Bank, Galaxia Moneytree, Woori Bank. There were so many companies and leaders we didn’t get to meet with because travel issues cut our trip short! But our message was clear and consistent: we want to work with local leaders — entrepreneurs and regulators alike — to ensure the internet financial system actually works for businesses and people in South Korea. This is about building together. We will be back.
