ANT INTERNATIONAL PLANS TO ADD USDC AFTER REGULATORY GREEN LIGHT

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Jack Ma-backed Ant International plans to integrate Circle's USDC into its AntChain network once the stablecoin clears U.S. regulatory requirements, enabling dollar-based settlement across its $1T+ cross-border payments platform. The move would give USDC access to one of the largest non-U.S. fintech ecosystems and position Ant to expand regulated crypto services globally via licenses in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Luxembourg. Circle, which recently went public, continues to scale USDC's footprint through partnerships and a U.S. bank license push.
