Stablecoin issuing entity Circle reportedly disclosed details of its newly formed alliance with financial data aggregator Plaid, to jointly simplify fund transferring out of the bank and into Circle’s USDC.

Specifically, with similarities to its previously established collaboration with Visa, the Plaid partnership will reportedly be an additional attempt to achieve deeper integration with networks, facilitating rapid transfer between fiat and dollar-backed crypto tokens, through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network. 

USDC is reportedly one of the top-tier stablecoins currently flowing through the crypto ecosystem.

“By integrating with Plaid, Circle is demonstrating – yet again – how we’re able to work with technology and finance leaders in the payment industry and leverage the power of USDC to generate frictionless economic activity,” Circle Chief Strategy Officer Dante Disparte reportedly remarked regarding the development. 

The initiative reportedly surfaced following the overall value of USDC in circulation reaching the $30 billion milestone. 

According to Circle Head, Jeremy Allaire, Plaid reportedly establishes connections among banking entities across the globe, taking off this task from fintech’s plate, and the firm is associated with numerous corporations throughout the crypto sphere. 

The scope of the entities Plaid is related to is reportedly wide, from the top-tier US-based crypto exchanges such as Coinbase, to DeFi startups like Dharma, the Uniswap-friendly DeFi wallet.

Practically arguing, Circle’s bank, the New York-headquartered Signature, will reportedly retrieve the account data for customers to purchase USDC in a faster fashion when they’re buying via Plaid-connected crypto apps.
