One year after USDC launched on Stellar, the ecosystem has grown significantly with new payment corridors across Africa, Europe, Philippines, and Latin America, plus integrations from major exchanges like Bitso, Liquid, and Okcoin enabling faster, cheaper cross-border payments and financial inclusion.
USDC on Stellar has catalyzed major ecosystem growth over the past year. Fintechs like Flutterwave and Tempo launched remittance corridors connecting Europe to Africa and Philippines. MoneyGram is piloting cash-in/cash-out services using USDC as a bridge currency. Wallets like Vesseo help Argentines hedge inflation by quickly converting pesos to USDC. Major exchanges including Bitso, Liquid, and Okcoin integrated Stellar USDC, with Bitso serving 2+ million users for Mexico-US payments. B2B platforms like Tribal Credit partnered with Bitso for faster cross-border services.
