What it is

The Circle Payments Network lets banks and payment firms move funds in USDC between institutions. It is one of Circle's Applications products, alongside StableFX.

Why it matters to the stock. A payments network adds volume that does not depend only on USDC holdings, which is a route to new fee revenue beyond reserve income.
