Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and Circle Internet Group, Inc. have signed an agreement to explore using Circle's stablecoin USDC and tokenized money market offering USYC for developing new products and solutions.
Circle's USDC is a fully reserved stablecoin designed to maintain price equivalence to the US dollar, with over $60 billion in circulation as of March 26, 2025.
The majority of the USDC reserve is invested in the Circle Reserve Fund, an SEC-registered government money market fund.
Under the agreement, Circle and ICE plan to collaborate to explore applications for using Circle's stablecoins and other product offerings within ICE's derivatives exchanges, clearinghouses, data services, and other markets.
