Circle Integrates Gateway and CPN with Fireblocks to Simplify USDC Operations

Circle has partnered with Fireblocks to integrate its Gateway and Circle Payments Network (CPN) into the platform, enabling seamless USDC operations across multiple blockchains. This integration simplifies cross-border settlement by allowing institutions to manage USDC flows and settle payments in real-time.

USDC is a popular stablecoin used for institutional transactions, with over 69% of digital asset volume on Fireblocks consisting of stablecoins as of Q2 2026. The demand for streamlined operational tools like Gateway and CPN is clear, given the high settlement volumes and adoption rates.

The Circle Gateway allows users to consolidate USDC balances across supported blockchains into a single virtual wallet, eliminating the need for per-chain pre-funding and manual reconciliation. This eliminates significant overhead and operational complexity for firms managing USDC across multiple chains.
