Circe plans to organize an invitation-based industry event in Seoul later this month, aimed at establishing new partnerships with Korean banks, encryption exchanges and payment companies. The event is scheduled to take place on 23 July in Josun Palace on the theme “Korea at the encryption turning point”. It is expected that seniors from banks, encryption exchanges, payment companies and super-appliance operators will be present to discuss regulation, industry cooperation and long-term business partnerships.
Chief Executive Officer Jeremy Allaire, while visiting Korea in April, met with senior executives of KB National Bank, Xin Korea Bank, Hana Bank, Upbit and Bitumb to explore possible cooperation opportunities. He indicated that Korea was a “very attractive” market because of its advanced technical fields and active digital assets.
Presentations were made by Dante Disparte, Chief Strategic Officer of Circle, and David Allan Katz, Vice-President of Strategy and Policy for Asia and the Pacific. Circle has also recently strengthened its compliance financial infrastructure in the United States, obtained final approval from the United States Monetary Supervisory Authority to establish the Circle National Trust Bank, which will initially provide digital asset-keeping services to companies and their affiliates.
Circle has also expanded its banking cooperation with USDC in recent weeks, and Standard & Poor ' s has launched an integrated service with Circle to allow eligible institutional clients to found and redeem USDC through a banking platform, without having to open the Circle account directly. This service combines the French-currency banking, custodial and block-chain infrastructure to facilitate institutional users. With increased competition, Circe's expansion scheme was particularly important.
