USDC Issuer Circle expands into Asian markets

Blockchain-focused financial services company Circle sees opportunities in the Asian markets and plans to set up a regional headquarters in Singapore. The company has also invested in a stablecoin backed by the Japanese yen through its newly formed fund Circle Ventures.

Circle Ventures invests into JPYC

The issuer of the second-largest stablecoin, USDC expects significant growth in the use of stablecoins in Asia. Jeremy Allaire the CEO of Circle said the company sees opportunities in Asian markets, where he expects strong adoption of stablecoins in borrowing and lending markets. He added that the inflation environment and the search for yield would drive markets to stablecoins in the first place.

It looks like this is the main reason why Circle Ventures contributed to a 500-million-yen ($4.38 million) Series A funding round for JPYC Inc., the issuer of the Japanese yen-pegged stablecoin JPYCoin. While the JPYC has not reached a market cap nearly so high, having a stablecoin based on yen would be of great advantage to Asian investors as cryptocurrency becomes an increasingly mainstream investment.

The company is also moving to Singapore

Circle is also busy getting its Singapore headquarters ready. The company is working with the Monetary Authority of Singapore to push the adoption of USDC among the country's major corporations. Speaking about the new headquarters in Singapore, Allaire said that his company aims to be among the first stablecoin issuers licensed in the city-state. He added that Circle is also working with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to "establish a lighthouse project for USDC adoption for large corporates in Singapore."

One of the reasons why Circle is targeting Singapore and Japan could be that these Asian countries have not been as strict as other countries in the region when it comes to regulating cryptocurrencies. It would not make sense to try this in neighbouring China, which has been gradually cracking down on crypto activity this year, starting with mining and ending with a blanket ban on crypto trading within the country. South Korea has also increased regulatory pressure on crypto trading, leading to the closure of many virtual asset exchanges in the country in recent months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
