Circle Gains Approval for $USDC Operations in Abu Dhabi, Expands in Middle East with Hub71

Circle, the issuer of the $USDC stablecoin, has received in-principle approval from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) to operate as a money services provider. This approval is a key part of Circle's Middle East expansion strategy.

The approval allows Circle to move closer to obtaining a full Financial Services Permission (FSP), enabling the company to offer compliant financial services across the Middle East and Africa. This development aims to enhance the adoption of $USDC in the region, where digital assets are increasingly gaining traction.

In addition to the regulatory milestone, Circle has entered into a strategic collaboration with Hub71, Abu Dhabi's leading global tech ecosystem. This partnership focuses on promoting digital asset innovation and strengthening the region's digital finance infrastructure by providing fintech founders with access to grants, funding networks, and scaling opportunities.
