The addition will help crypto-native businesses by making it easier to take payments, while not excluding customers that don’t use crypto. In addition, “traditional businesses can also take advantage of this enhancement to shift more retail payments to digital currency,” Circle said.
In June, Circle added support for Polygon USDC on its payments and treasury platform in a move that would help developers automate flows from fiat into Polygon USDC, along with being able to swap it for native USDC across various blockchain networks.
