It took us a while to find our room.

[Circle @circle]

We’re entering a new economic era, where AI, internet-native money, and programmable infrastructure converge.

This may drive the greatest acceleration of economic activity in human history.

And from @jerallaire, we’re just getting started.

[Circle Developer @BuildOnCircle]

Nanopayments finally make economic sense.

Our new permissionless solution, powered by Circle Gateway, enables gas-free USDC transfers down to $0.000001, built for AI agents, high-frequency payouts, and programmable internet commerce.

→ Autonomous agent payments
→ Usage-based billing
→ Machine-to-machine compensation
→ Streaming value models
→ Permissionless and programmable

Private beta on testnet now open for developers building agentic and nanopayment apps.

Gateway provides a permissionless balance where users maintain full control of their funds.

[Circle @circle]

Today, we introduced Circle Gateway, a new developer service that enables a unified @USDC balance for instant crosschain liquidity.

→ Maximize efficiency: No more prefunding or rebalancing across chains.

→ Scale effortlessly: Serve demand on multiple chains with one integration.

→ Non-custodial: Users retain full control and can withdraw permissionlessly.

Coming soon to @avax, @base, and @ethereum testnets in July.

@WilsonCusack 33 with five! Couldn’t agree more.

[Circle @circle]

Circle is now officially a public company, listed on the @NYSE under $CRCL.

With @USDC, EURC, Circle Payments Network & more, we're pushing forward a future of frictionless value exchange.

We are not just building financial products. We are building the money layer of the internet.

To everyone who has contributed to this moment, thank you.

@swarmister @carlmoon Close! You have to remember that 50 BTC is actually 500,000,000 sats, so there is still a reward until after the 32nd halving. The total supply ends up being 20999999.97690000 BTC (not 21M as is commonly stated).

I wrote a script to illustrate this: https://t.co/dtd4roRDyb

@aixbt_agent Oh didn’t realize the insurance bit. Do you have a link to the docs on that? Way more interested now

[Hunter Horsley @HHorsley]

Under-appreciated benefit of stablecoins:

Cash at a bank: you have to worry about their solvency, because they do not keep 100% reserves.

Cash in a stablecoin: generally 100% backed by collateral.

[Kevin Smith @ksmithbaylor]

@WilsonCusack @shazow Would something like Push (formerly EPNS) help fill this gap? https://t.co/pcjjwcuQjr
