Circle Partners with Nium to Enable USDC Settlement Across Global Payment Network

According to The Block, Circle Technology Services, a subsidiary of Circle, has announced a partnership with Nium, a global real-time cross-border payments platform. Nium has joined the Circle Payments Network (CPN), providing financial institutions within the network with access to payment infrastructure spanning over 190 countries and more than 100 currencies—enabling fund disbursement to bank accounts, digital wallets, and debit cards. Financial institutions can complete the entire process—from USDC settlement to local-currency cash-out—via a single integration, eliminating the need to pre-fund across multiple channels.
