Circle has connected its USDC settlement infrastructure directly to Nium’s global payout rails via a single API, enabling seamless transfers between digital assets and traditional currencies across more than 190 countries.
The integration targets the expanding B2B payments sector, which is forecast to rise from $187 trillion in 2025 to $224 trillion by 2030, with stablecoins expected to capture 85% of transaction value over the next decade.
Through the 30-day window ending March 31, Circle’s payments network processed $8.3 billion in annualized volume, underscoring its capacity to handle high-frequency, machine-to-machine transactions integral to agentic commerce.
By simplifying cross-border settlements and reducing reliance on multiple local providers, the Circle–Nium partnership aims to support the rise of automated, AI-driven B2B commerce and enhance capital efficiency for financial institutions.
