Circle and Nium Partner to Fuel USDC Cross-Border Crypto Payments
Nium joined the Circle Payments Network on May 27, 2026, connecting USDC stablecoin settlement with fiat payout rails. The integration expands network utility, which reached $8.3 billion annualized volume in March 2026. Global institutions can execute end-to-end USDC transfers to more than 190 countries through a single payment rail. Financial institutions gain direct access to Nium’s payout infrastructure covering 190+ countries and 100 currencies. The solution links fast blockchain settlement with local banking systems, credit cards, and digital wallets, addressing a bottleneck in institutional Web3 infrastructure. Integrated foreign exchange optimization and smart routing remove the need for separate local payout providers. Circle provides regulated, compliance-mapped USD Coin settlement, while Nium performs real-time currency conversion and final delivery. The framework reduces prefunding capital requirements for high-volume treasury management across international corridors.
