In a move to accelerate the adoption of stablecoins as a mainstream payment method, Matera, a technology provider for the financial system, announces a commercial partnership with Circle, the global issuer of USDC.\n\nThe integration between Matera’s Digital Twin and Circle’s Platform allows financial institutions to offer seamless multi-currency account experiences, where BRL, USD, and USDC balances coexist and operate in real time. These scenarios become viable without requiring institutions to build complex infrastructure from scratch. The integration natively connects local payment rails (like PIX) to global liquidity in USDC, unlocking faster, cheaper, and more transparent global payment operations.\n\n\"We are ushering in a new layer of global banking infrastructure. Interoperability between stablecoins and local currency accounts is no longer a side project—it’s now at the heart of the financial system. This is a game-changer for banks and fintechs looking to operate globally with near-instant settlement and low costs,\" Carlos Netto, CEO of Matera.\n\nUSDC is a fully reserved stablecoin backed by highly liquid cash and cash equivalent USD assets that are redeemable 1:1 for U.S. dollars. With Circle’s technology, Matera’s clients will be able to offer USDC as a balance option in their platforms. This allows people to send, receive, and pay with USDC around the world — just like using local currency.\n\n\"Integrating USDC into Matera’s widely used technology will empower Brazilian financial institutions to make fast, cost-efficient, and transparent global payments. With USDC, it will be easier to access the global digital economy with a transparent digital dollar,\" Daniel Mangabeira, VP Policy and Regulatory Strategy, Brazil at Circle.\n\nThe collaboration between Matera and Circle advances the concept of a \"stablecoin-ready banking platform\" building bridges between traditional and digital money. More than just innovation, this is the foundation of a new global financial architecture—interoperable, inclusive, and readily available.
