Read this in the Market Flux app

Binance has acquired a roughly $100 million equity stake in Circle Internet Group, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, while simultaneously entering a five-year commercial agreement to promote USDC across its platform. The exchange purchased approximately 1.24 million Circle shares at $80.84 each, with both the equity placement and the commercial deal closing on the same day.

Under the commercial arrangement, Circle will pay Binance a monthly incentive fee in exchange for promoting USDC adoption, with a particular focus on emerging markets. USDC currently carries a market capitalization of roughly $75 billion, and the partnership is structured to expand its reach through one of the world's largest crypto exchanges by trading volume.
