Banking Circle officially launches stablecoin settlement services after obtaining the CASP license
According to an official announcement by Banking Circle, the company officially launched its stablecoin settlement service on April 27, 2026. Prior to this, Banking Circle had obtained a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) license from Luxembourg’s financial regulator, the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF), on April 15. The new service enables instant, two-way conversions between fiat currencies and major stablecoins—including USDC, USDG, and EURI—and leverages Banking Circle’s core banking platform to deliver 24/7 settlement with full regulatory traceability.
Globally, the stablecoin market capitalization currently stands at approximately €250 billion, with annual payment transaction volume reaching around €330 billion and monthly on-chain transaction volume exceeding €8 trillion. Laust Bertelsen, CEO of Banking Circle, stated that stablecoins have become core infrastructure for cross-border settlement and treasury management. This launch aims to combine the efficiency of blockchain-based payments with banking-grade compliance standards, serving Banking Circle’s global network of over 750 payment institution clients.
