@darrenmarble Say when 👀

In NYC next week. If you’re around and want to meet up, let me know. Hosting an Agentic AI event at a private social club, live music at Bemelmans, and investor meetings. And of course, sushi 🍣

@fystack @BuildOnCircle @circle Welcome 🤝

Excited to share that we have joined the @Circle Alliance Program, a global community of teams focused on bringing the world on-chain, powered by USDC!

We’re heading to Cannes for ETHGlobal Pragma and the ETHGlobal Cannes Hackathon on April 2-5, 2026 with $15,000 in prizes for best submissions 🇫🇷 Join us at Pragma ahead of the hackathon to connect with founders and builders shaping the next wave of onchain apps. Building on Arc in Cannes? We’re looking for apps across lending, capital markets, FX, and payments that use stablecoins to power real economic activity. Come ship with Circle tooling, get hands-on support from the team, and compete for prizes. See you there.

Circle has been named one of @FastCompany’s 2026 World’s Most Innovative Companies in the finance category. The velocity of money is upgrading to the speed of the internet. We’re building the infrastructure behind that shift, enabling the instant exchange of value worldwide. fastcompany.com/91497212/finan…

@Circle embraces culture as currency, as presenting sponsor of New Humans: Memories of the Future at the @NewMuseum, marking its reopening and a powerful moment at the intersection of art, technology, and human exchange. As culture explores what it means to be human in an era shaped by machines, networks, and new forms of coordination, Circle is helping ensure the infrastructure for that future is open, trusted, and accessible to all. We believe value should move as freely as ideas. That creators, builders, and institutions alike should have the tools to participate in a more open global economy. And that the next era of finance won’t just be built in code, it will be shaped in culture. By supporting spaces like the New Museum, where “new art and new ideas” challenge and expand what’s possible, we’re embedding @USDC and @Arc into the lived systems where trust, relevance, and adoption truly take hold. The future of money is not just financial. It’s cultural, and constantly in motion.

Practice what you preach 👏

Excited to be back at DAS NY. If you’re around, swing by Circle’s Booth K38, where we’ll be talking programmable money and the infrastructure reshaping global value exchange. Also, don’t miss Claire Ching on the Institutional Track: Neo-Finance & the Evolution of Markets. See you out there.

Build with @arc. Build in the open.

Circle Current: Banking on Stablecoins We brought senior banking leaders together in NYC to discuss what’s actually changing inside financial institutions. What stood out most: for banks, stablecoins are not a technology experiment. → Regulation is shaping, not slowing, adoption → Always-on settlement is moving closer to legacy infrastructure → Tokenized money is shifting from pilots to production planning → Stablecoins are being embraced as real payment rails What stood out most: for banks, stablecoins are not a technology experiment. They’re an infrastructure and competitive positioning decision. The new internet financial system is being built in real time.

@arc @bleso_a @encodeclub Solution clarity that feels like early products 💪

We returned to London for our second @encodeclub hackathon bringing together 150+ builders shipping on Arc. For the first time, teams experimented with nanopayments, unlocking new models for microtransactions, agentic commerce, and programmable stablecoin apps. Across six tracks, developers integrated Arc Testnet with Circle’s developer platform using USDC, USYC, StableFX, CCTP, Nanopayments, and Circle Wallets. → 80+ submissions → 8 winning teams The Arc team spent the weekend mentoring builders while @bleso_a walked through the new multichain Arc sample app to help teams get shipping faster. The Arc builder ecosystem keeps growing. Here’s what the winning teams built: 🏆 Nanopayments USDC-ME (1st): A gasless “Venmo for USDC” using Nanopayments where signed spend intents batch settle with near-zero fees. Blink (2nd): Streaming laptop insurance priced per-second using nanopayments. 🏆 Best Smart Contracts Chariot: A cross-chain lending protocol combining borrower interest with USYC T-bill returns. 🏆 Chain-Abstracted USDC Apps MeanTime: Turns CCTP transfer delays into tradable liquidity using Transfer-NFTs. 🏆 Global Payouts & Treasury Settl: A multi-chain payroll and treasury system that automates fund management, executes global USDC payouts, and includes built-in fraud detection and real-time treasury visibility. Zerra: A chain-abstracted storefront where merchants always receive USDC on Arc regardless of user assets. 🏆 Agentic Commerce OTTO: An AI treasury agent that manages USDC across chains, pays services with nanopayments, and allocates funds into USYC. 🏆 USYC / StableFX Integration Sphere: A visual treasury dashboard for managing wallets, swaps, USYC or DeFi routing, and automated financial workflows.

Thrilled to have Li Fan take the stage at @sxsw to explore the convergence of the Internet of Value and the Internet of Intelligence. As AI agents evolve from reasoning to transacting, this moment signals something bigger, the foundations of an agentic reality where programmable money meets programmable intelligence. A powerful reflection of where Circle is today: building compliant, scalable infrastructure for a world where AI doesn’t just think, it drives in the economy.

We brought 100+ developers together in Buenos Aires for our first Arc Studio. An afternoon of deep technical sessions, candid ecosystem conversations, and real builder momentum. From protocol design to funding pathways, the focus was simple: What can be shipped on Arc? The energy in the room made one thing clear. Builders are ready. Huge thank you to our panelists: @BuFi_Global @dynamic_xyz @Morpho @0xsequence This is how ecosystems compound. More to come.

@token2049 Unfortunate, but necessary. Kudos to @AlexFiskum & team for making the call. Excited to see everyone in Singapore and continue building where the global crypto community shows up strongest.

The safety and experience of our community always comes first. In collaboration with our partners and stakeholders, and in light of the ongoing uncertainty in the region and its impact on safety, international travel and logistics, TOKEN2049 Dubai will be postponed to 21–22 April 2027.

Leave your phone at home once per week. It’s liberating and gives a slight touch of the freedom and joy the early 90’s fostered

4 days in a row of 60+ degrees in the NE 😎 lfg 🌱

We’re heading toward a clear bifurcation: one group doubling down on irreplaceable human connection, shared spaces, and real-world intimacy; and another leaning into deeper relationships with technology, from agentic companions to AI-mediated dating. The real opportunity is integrating both intentionally, using technology to amplify belonging, expand access to connection, and reinforce the fabric of community rather than fragment it.

Feels like we're in the early days of an inevitable career path: the IRL creator A person who brings relevant people together, designs tasteful gatherings & curates spaces to facilitate serendipity With AI reshaping how we work and live, in-person experiences will be the last way for us to find meaning and feel something significant.

When you truly believe in what you’re building, and who you’re building it with, it shows. In the care behind the details. In the standards you hold. In the way you represent the mission publicly. Conviction isn’t a slogan. It’s felt in the culture and reflected in the outcomes.
