Circle signed an official jersey sponsorship agreement with Chelsea that will display brand names such as USDC

On 28 August, it was reported that the stabilizer, Circle, had entered into a sponsorship agreement with Hercule Chelsea to become its chief partner and official sponsor of the jersey. The agreement was published on Friday and, starting with the 2026/27 season, the brand names of Circe and USDC will appear on the jerseys of Chelsea men, women and youths. The USDC operates within the framework of the GENIUS Act signed into law last year by President Donald Trump. Tether's USDT operates mainly globally outside the framework, while a smaller USAT stabilization currency has been introduced, targeting the United States market。
