Circle Joins Canton Network as Super Validator Unlocking Private USDC Settlement
On March 31, 2026 by voice
Circle has joined the Canton Network as a Super Validator, adding a new system for private $USDC-based payment. The move strengthens Circle’s position in both governance and structure within the network. It also aligns with the launch of USDCx, a $USDC-backed stablecoin intended for institutional use. The roll out will be the first time a $USDC-backed asset runs with institutional-grade privacy and cross-application integration on a public layer-one network.
