ClearBank Partners with Circle to Expand MiCA-Compliant Stablecoin Access via Payments Network

British clearing bank ClearBank has announced its integration with Circle's payments network, significantly expanding institutional access to MiCA-compliant stablecoins. This strategic partnership enables European financial institutions to leverage Circle's USD Coin (USDC) for cross-border settlements and digital asset transactions. The collaboration positions ClearBank as a key infrastructure provider for regulated crypto services in the EU market, facilitating compliance with the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulatory framework. This development marks a crucial step in bridging traditional banking with blockchain-based financial solutions while maintaining regulatory standards.
