Circle Teams Up with INFINIOS to Bolster USDC Adoption in the Middle East

Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has partnered with Bahraini fintech company INFINIOS to expand digital financial infrastructure in the Middle East.

The partnership aims to integrate Circle's infrastructure, including USDC and EURC stablecoins, as well as API-based on-chain payment functions, into INFINIOS's services.

Infinios will support institutions and businesses in exploring use cases such as cross-border payments, treasury and liquidity management, merchant settlements, tokenized financial services, and embedded finance.

The Middle East has been actively exploring digital currencies and blockchain technology to modernize its financial systems. Bahrain has positioned itself as a regional hub for fintech innovation, with a regulatory framework that encourages digital asset experimentation.
