Earlier this morning, we posted our earnings press release and earnings presentation on the Circle Investor Relations website, investor.circle.com. A transcript of this call will be posted on that website once available. I do need to remind everyone that our earnings release, presentation, and this call contain statements that are forward-looking. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.์˜ค๋Š˜ ์•„์นจ ์ผ์ฐ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์‹ค์  ๋ณด๋„์ž๋ฃŒ์™€ ์‹ค์  ๋ฐœํ‘œ ์ž๋ฃŒ๋ฅผ Circle ํˆฌ์ž์ž ๊ด€๊ณ„ ์›น์‚ฌ์ดํŠธ์ธ investor.circle.com์— ๊ฒŒ์‹œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋ฒˆ ์ปจํผ๋Ÿฐ์Šค ์ฝœ์˜ ๋…น์ทจ๋ก์€ ์ค€๋น„๋˜๋Š” ๋Œ€๋กœ ํ•ด๋‹น ์›น์‚ฌ์ดํŠธ์— ๊ฒŒ์‹œ๋  ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ ์‹ค์  ๋ฐœํ‘œ์ž๋ฃŒ, ํ”„๋ ˆ์  ํ…Œ์ด์…˜, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ด๋ฒˆ ์ปจํผ๋Ÿฐ์Šค ์ฝœ์—๋Š” ๋ฏธ๋ž˜์ „๋ง์ง„์ˆ ์ด ํฌํ•จ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์„ ๋ชจ๋“  ๋ถ„๋“ค๊ป˜ ์ƒ๊ธฐ์‹œ์ผœ ๋“œ๋ ค์•ผ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฏธ๋ž˜์ „๋ง์ง„์ˆ ์€ ๋ณธ์งˆ์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ฆฌ์Šคํฌ์™€ ๋ถˆํ™•์‹ค์„ฑ์— ๋…ธ์ถœ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด ์ค‘ ์ผ๋ถ€๋Š” ์˜ˆ์ธกํ•˜๊ฑฐ๋‚˜ ์ •๋Ÿ‰ํ™”ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์—†๊ณ  ์ผ๋ถ€๋Š” ์ €ํฌ์˜ ํ†ต์ œ ๋ฒ”์œ„๋ฅผ ๋ฒ—์–ด๋‚˜๋ฏ€๋กœ, ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋ฏธ๋ž˜์ „๋ง์ง„์ˆ ์„ ๋ฏธ๋ž˜ ์‚ฌ๊ฑด์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์˜ˆ์ธก์œผ๋กœ ์˜์กดํ•ด์„œ๋Š” ์•ˆ ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to but not as a substitute for GAAP measures. With that out of the way, it's with pleasure, let me turn it over to Jeremy Allaire. Jeremy J. Allaire

We started this company 12 years ago with an ambitious mission to build a new Internet financial system with blockchains and digital currency that could increase global economic prosperity through the frictionless exchange of value. We and the entire market are in the early stages of that vision, literally graduating from the early adopter phase of blockchain technology and digital currency into the mainstream adoption phase that is accelerating.

USDC, the core of our stablecoin network, has grown to $61.3 billion at June 30, and growth has accelerated into Q3 to $65.2 billion in circulation as of August 10, representing approximately 90% year-over-year growth and 49% growth year-to-date, making USDC the fastest-growing major stablecoin over the past year. In Q2, USDC onchain transaction volume grew 5.4x year-over-year to nearly $6 trillion.

We have been rapidly expanding Circle's platform and network with major new products, including Circle Payments Network which we believe will become a breakthrough in global money movement by building an onchain native payments network that will move money faster and more efficiently and opens up new utility to programmable payments. Circle Gateway which enables seamless crosschain USDC experiences, eight new blockchain partners, and Arc, our new Layer-1 blockchain network, which we are announcing today.

As we look at the overall stablecoin market, we believe that the total addressable market for stablecoins and our products is massive, with dollar stablecoins only representing a mere 1% of the US M2 money supply, but with continued rapid growth in stablecoin supply. Today, Circle operates the largest regulated stablecoin network in the world. We talk about this a lot. Stablecoins are network businesses and have meaningful network effects. Growth of our stablecoin network is driven by our platform, our blockchain protocols and the developers building applications and services on our network.์ „์ฒด ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ ์‹œ์žฅ์„ ์‚ดํŽด๋ณด๋ฉด, ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ๊ณผ ๋‹น์‚ฌ ์ œํ’ˆ์˜ ์ „์ฒด ์ฃผ์†Œ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅ ์‹œ์žฅ(TAM)์€ ๋งค์šฐ ํฌ๋‹ค๊ณ  ํŒ๋‹จ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ์ด ๋ฏธ๊ตญ M2 ํ†ตํ™”๊ณต๊ธ‰๋Ÿ‰์˜ ๋‹จ 1%์— ๋ถˆ๊ณผํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ, ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ ๊ณต๊ธ‰๋Ÿ‰์€ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋น ๋ฅด๊ฒŒ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์žฌ Circle์€ ์„ธ๊ณ„ ์ตœ๋Œ€ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ๊ทœ์ œ๋ฐ›๋Š” ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ๋ฅผ ์šด์˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ์ž์ฃผ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋ฐ”์™€ ๊ฐ™์ด, ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ์€ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค์ด๋ฉฐ ์˜๋ฏธ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ ํšจ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹น์‚ฌ ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์€ ์ €ํฌ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ, ๋ธ”๋ก์ฒด์ธ ํ”„๋กœํ† ์ฝœ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ €ํฌ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ์—์„œ ์• ํ”Œ๋ฆฌ์ผ€์ด์…˜๊ณผ ์„œ๋น„์Šค๋ฅผ ๊ตฌ์ถ•ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฐœ๋ฐœ์ž๋“ค์— ์˜ํ•ด ์ถ”์ง„๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
That expands the Circle onchain ecosystem and is the classic flywheel that has driven the growth of our stablecoin network since its launch in 2018. Like other Internet platforms and network businesses, stablecoins are a winner take most market as liquidity and utility complement each other and drive growth. There have been many regulated and unregulated dollar stablecoins, and many more to come. But the strength and resiliency of Circle's network effects positions us well to compete and grow. Turning to the regulatory environment. Circle's market and competitive strength is further cemented with the signing of the GENIUS Act, creating powerful tailwinds for Circle.์ด๋Š” Circle ์˜จ์ฒด์ธ ์ƒํƒœ๊ณ„๋ฅผ ํ™•์žฅ์‹œํ‚ค๋ฉฐ, 2018๋…„ ์ถœ์‹œ ์ดํ›„ ์ €ํฌ ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ•ด์˜จ ์ „ํ˜•์ ์ธ ํ”Œ๋ผ์ดํœ  ํšจ๊ณผ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์ธํ„ฐ๋„ท ํ”Œ๋žซํผ ๋ฐ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ ์‚ฌ์—…๊ณผ ๋งˆ์ฐฌ๊ฐ€์ง€๋กœ, ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ์€ ์œ ๋™์„ฑ๊ณผ ์œ ์šฉ์„ฑ์ด ์„œ๋กœ ๋ณด์™„ํ•˜๋ฉฐ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ•˜๋Š” ์Šน์ž๋…์‹ ์‹œ์žฅ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทœ์ œ๋ฅผ ๋ฐ›๋Š” ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ๊ณผ ๊ทธ๋ ‡์ง€ ์•Š์€ ๊ฒƒ๋“ค์ด ๋งŽ์ด ์žˆ์—ˆ๊ณ , ์•ž์œผ๋กœ๋„ ๋” ๋งŽ์ด ๋‚˜์˜ฌ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ Circle์˜ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ ํšจ๊ณผ๊ฐ€ ๊ฐ–๋Š” ๊ฐ•์ ๊ณผ ํšŒ๋ณต๋ ฅ์€ ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿํ•˜๊ณ  ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ์œ ๋ฆฌํ•œ ์œ„์น˜์— ์žˆ๊ฒŒ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทœ์ œ ํ™˜๊ฒฝ์œผ๋กœ ๋ˆˆ์„ ๋Œ๋ ค๋ณด๋ฉด, GENIUS Act ์„œ๋ช…์œผ๋กœ Circle์˜ ์‹œ์žฅ ๋ฐ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ ์šฐ์œ„๊ฐ€ ๋”์šฑ ๊ณต๊ณ ํ•ด์กŒ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” Circle์—๊ฒŒ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์ˆœํ’์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We believe this law will accelerate stablecoin adoption by major financial institutions, mainstream enterprises, technology companies, and ultimately drive much broader use of stablecoins across retail and wholesale payments, as well as broader usage [ph] in traffic by (00:07:26) capital markets. This is likely the catalytic moment for the mainstream scaling of stablecoins, and we are already seeing this in our business momentum. Turning to our products and platform. We are continuing to make progress with our core digital asset products.

With USDC, we expanded our distribution onto eight new blockchain networks in 2025 and significantly expanded CCTP Version 2 availability, both of which continue to cement USDC as the most liquid and available onchain dollar stablecoin. We also now offer a yield token, USYC, that can be used in both digital asset and traditional capital markets as collateral with 24/7, 365 liquidity between USYC and USDC. We're now executing that strategy, driven by our expanded partnership with Binance who will now make USYC available as collateral, unlocking a very powerful use of USYC on the largest exchange in the world. And we're already seeing accelerating adoption there.USDC์™€ ๊ด€๋ จํ•˜์—ฌ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” 2025๋…„์— 8๊ฐœ์˜ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๋ธ”๋ก์ฒด์ธ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ๋กœ ์œ ํ†ต์„ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ CCTP ๋ฒ„์ „ 2์˜ ๊ฐ€์šฉ์„ฑ์„ ๋Œ€ํญ ํ™•์žฅํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๋‘ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ๋ชจ๋‘ USDC๋ฅผ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ์œ ๋™์„ฑ์ด ๋†’๊ณ  ์ ‘๊ทผ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•œ ์˜จ์ฒด์ธ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ์œผ๋กœ ํ™•๊ณ ํžˆ ์ž๋ฆฌ๋งค๊น€ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ๊ธฐ์—ฌํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ด์ œ ์ˆ˜์ต๋ฅ  ํ† ํฐ์ธ USYC๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๋””์ง€ํ„ธ ์ž์‚ฐ๊ณผ ์ „ํ†ต์ ์ธ ์ž๋ณธ์‹œ์žฅ ๋ชจ๋‘์—์„œ ๋‹ด๋ณด๋กœ ์‚ฌ์šฉํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๊ณ , USYC์™€ USDC ๊ฐ„์— ์—ฐ์ค‘๋ฌดํœด 24์‹œ๊ฐ„ ์œ ๋™์„ฑ์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์žฌ ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๋ฐ”์ด๋‚ธ์Šค์™€์˜ ํ™•๋Œ€๋œ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ์ด ์ „๋žต์„ ์‹คํ–‰ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋ฐ”์ด๋‚ธ์Šค๋Š” ์ด์ œ USYC๋ฅผ ๋‹ด๋ณด๋กœ ์ œ๊ณตํ•  ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์„ธ๊ณ„ ์ตœ๋Œ€ ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜์†Œ์—์„œ USYC์˜ ๋งค์šฐ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ํ™œ์šฉ์„ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•˜๊ฒŒ ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ด๋ฏธ ๊ทธ๊ณณ์—์„œ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”๋˜๋Š” ์ฑ„ํƒ์„ ๋ชฉ๊ฒฉํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We've continued to expand our core banking and liquidity capabilities, including with multiple GSIBs, strengthening our unrivaled industry position. During Q2, we undertook the launch of one of the most ambitious new product investments, Circle Payments Network, our initiative to transform international money movement, which today already has active payment corridors in Hong Kong, Brazil, Nigeria and Mexico. We have rapidly grown our pipeline of financial institutions interested in launching on CPN to over 100 firms.์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ์‹œ์Šคํ…œ์  ์ค‘์š” ์€ํ–‰(GSIB)๋“ค๊ณผ์˜ ํ˜‘๋ ฅ์„ ํฌํ•จํ•˜์—ฌ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ๋ฑ…ํ‚น ๋ฐ ์œ ๋™์„ฑ ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰์„ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ํ™•์žฅํ•ด์™”์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ์—…๊ณ„ ๋‚ด ๋…๋ณด์ ์ธ ์ง€์œ„๋ฅผ ๋”์šฑ ๊ณต๊ณ ํžˆ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ค‘์—๋Š” ๊ฐ€์žฅ ์•ผ์‹ฌ์ฐฌ ์‹ ์ œํ’ˆ ํˆฌ์ž ์ค‘ ํ•˜๋‚˜์ธ Circle Payments Network๋ฅผ ์ถœ์‹œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ๊ตญ์ œ ์ž๊ธˆ ์ด๋™์„ ํ˜์‹ ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ์ €ํฌ์˜ ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ๋กœ, ํ˜„์žฌ ์ด๋ฏธ ํ™์ฝฉ, ๋ธŒ๋ผ์งˆ, ๋‚˜์ด์ง€๋ฆฌ์•„, ๋ฉ•์‹œ์ฝ”์—์„œ ํ™œ๋ฐœํ•œ ๊ฒฐ์ œ ํ†ต๋กœ๋ฅผ ์šด์˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

We have an ambitious roadmap and will continue to expand CPN's features and use cases from international money movement to other types of payments such as consumer and B2B payments, and still further into global capital markets and corporate treasury services. We're incredibly excited to see this level of interest so soon after CPN's launch. In July, we introduced Circle Gateway, which abstracts away the complexity of holding USDC on different blockchains and in different wallets, streamlining usability and speeding transactions that use USDC.์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์•ผ์‹ฌ์ฐฌ ๋กœ๋“œ๋งต์„ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๊ตญ์ œ ์ž๊ธˆ ์ด๋™์—์„œ ์†Œ๋น„์ž ๋ฐ B2B ๊ฒฐ์ œ์™€ ๊ฐ™์€ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์œ ํ˜•์˜ ๊ฒฐ์ œ๋กœ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋” ๋‚˜์•„๊ฐ€ ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ์ž๋ณธ์‹œ์žฅ๊ณผ ๊ธฐ์—… ์ž๊ธˆ๊ด€๋ฆฌ ์„œ๋น„์Šค๋กœ CPN์˜ ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ๊ณผ ํ™œ์šฉ ์‚ฌ๋ก€๋ฅผ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ํ™•์žฅํ•ด ๋‚˜๊ฐˆ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

This is a key building block and bringing USDC into more mainstream financial and payment applications and creates new monetization opportunities for Circle. Now, I'd like to turn to a very special and major new platform initiative that we are announcing today, Arc. Arc is a new blockchain network from Circle that we will launch in the second half of the year. We are at the fulcrum of a massive mainstream embrace of stablecoins in the financial system, and firms are racing to build on this infrastructure. But until now, the blockchain infrastructure needed to meet the most intense demands of major financial firms and enterprises has simply not existed.์ด๋Š” ํ•ต์‹ฌ์ ์ธ ๊ตฌ์„ฑ ์š”์†Œ์ด๋ฉฐ USDC๋ฅผ ๋ณด๋‹ค ์ฃผ๋ฅ˜ ๊ธˆ์œต ๋ฐ ๊ฒฐ์ œ ์• ํ”Œ๋ฆฌ์ผ€์ด์…˜์œผ๋กœ ๋„์ž…ํ•˜๊ณ  Circle์— ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์ˆ˜์ตํ™” ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ์ฐฝ์ถœํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ œ ์˜ค๋Š˜ ๋ฐœํ‘œํ•˜๋Š” ๋งค์šฐ ํŠน๋ณ„ํ•˜๊ณ  ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ํ”Œ๋žซํผ ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ์ธ Arc์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ณ ์ž ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

We are delivering that infrastructure with Arc. Arc is a new Layer-1 blockchain that is compatible with Ethereum infrastructure that operates as a standalone network. Some key facts about Arc. We wanted to create a way for institutions to pay fees on blockchains in a fast, predictable manner, that would be simple from an accounting perspective and could deliver very low cost and stable fees. So, at Arc, we are using USDC itself as the native gas fee currency. This removes the complexity of paying transaction fees in a native token. Arc offers enterprise-grade performance and real settlement finality.์ €ํฌ๋Š” Arc๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ธํ”„๋ผ๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Financial institutions and regulators expect deterministic finality, which Arc will achieve with Circle vetted professional validators and its novel consensus mechanism. Arc will also offer configurable privacy controls with opt-in confidential transfer features, which is essential for real-world business and financial applications and also supports regulatory compliance. And finally, Arc will be integrated across Circle's entire product portfolio and will also provide best-in-class USDC liquidity and interoperability across a wide range of blockchain networks we already support.๊ธˆ์œต๊ธฐ๊ด€๊ณผ ๊ทœ์ œ๋‹น๊ตญ์€ ๊ฒฐ์ •๋ก ์  ์ตœ์ข…์„ฑ์„ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•˜๋ฉฐ, Arc๋Š” Circle์ด ๊ฒ€์ฆํ•œ ์ „๋ฌธ ๊ฒ€์ฆ์ž๋“ค๊ณผ ํ˜์‹ ์ ์ธ ํ•ฉ์˜ ๋ฉ”์ปค๋‹ˆ์ฆ˜์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ์ด๋ฅผ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

We are very excited about Arc, and have shared more information, including a brief paper and platform details on circle.com and the Arc website. Now, let's turn to growth and adoption. Just in the past few months, we've seen incredible engagement and interest in working with Circle from major firms in every sector of the financial system, as well as Internet and technology companies. And this is consistent and accelerating all around the world. I'd like to highlight a few example from our recent periods. In digital assets, we've launched and expanded key partnerships with Binance and OKX, two of the largest exchanges in the world.์ €ํฌ๋Š” Arc์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋งค์šฐ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, circle.com๊ณผ Arc ์›น์‚ฌ์ดํŠธ์— ๊ฐ„๋žตํ•œ ๋ฐฑ์„œ์™€ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ ์„ธ๋ถ€์‚ฌํ•ญ์„ ํฌํ•จํ•œ ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ์ •๋ณด๋ฅผ ๊ณต์œ ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ œ ์„ฑ์žฅ๊ณผ ๋„์ž… ํ˜„ํ™ฉ์œผ๋กœ ๋„˜์–ด๊ฐ€๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€๋‚œ ๋ช‡ ๋‹ฌ ๋™์•ˆ ๊ธˆ์œต ์‹œ์Šคํ…œ์˜ ๋ชจ๋“  ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์˜ ์ฃผ์š” ๊ธฐ์—…๋“ค๊ณผ ์ธํ„ฐ๋„ท ๋ฐ ๊ธฐ์ˆ  ํšŒ์‚ฌ๋“ค๋กœ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ Circle๊ณผ์˜ ํ˜‘๋ ฅ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋†€๋ผ์šด ๊ด€์‹ฌ๊ณผ ์ฐธ์—ฌ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์•˜์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ด๋Š” ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ผ๊ด€๋˜๊ฒŒ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ตœ๊ทผ ๊ธฐ๊ฐ„์˜ ๋ช‡ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์‚ฌ๋ก€๋ฅผ ๊ฐ•์กฐํ•˜๊ณ  ์‹ถ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋””์ง€ํ„ธ ์ž์‚ฐ ๋ถ„์•ผ์—์„œ๋Š” ์„ธ๊ณ„ ์ตœ๋Œ€ ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜์†Œ ์ค‘ ๋‘ ๊ณณ์ธ ๋ฐ”์ด๋‚ธ์Šค(Binance)์™€ OKX์™€์˜ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ์„ ์ถœ์‹œํ•˜๊ณ  ํ™•์žฅํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
With Binance, we've significantly expanded our partnership to include broader use of Circle technology. We're also continuing to see strong traction and partnerships in DeFi, including our planned launch of USDC on Hyperliquid, one of the fastest-growing onchain exchanges and ecosystems. Major cross-border payment firms like Remitly, MoneyGram and Zapps are integrating USDC into their payment networks, and Stripe made USDC central to its new global stablecoin financial accounts for businesses.

I'm particularly excited that banking and payments infrastructure providers like Matera, Fiserv, FIS and Corpay, all announced deals with Circle to add stablecoin capabilities and our technology into their product infrastructure that combined serves tens of thousands of banks and financial institutions. Now, turning to digital asset trading markets, which continue to remain a key priority and a significant growth opportunity for Circle. Since we launched initiatives to drive USDC in the digital asset markets in early 2024, our share of spot trading volume has grown from 1% to 10% in Q2.์ €๋Š” ํŠนํžˆ Matera, Fiserv, FIS, Corpay์™€ ๊ฐ™์€ ๋ฑ…ํ‚น ๋ฐ ๊ฒฐ์ œ ์ธํ”„๋ผ ์ œ๊ณต์—…์ฒด๋“ค์ด ๋ชจ๋‘ Circle๊ณผ์˜ ๊ณ„์•ฝ์„ ๋ฐœํ‘œํ•˜์—ฌ ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ๊ณผ ์ €ํฌ ๊ธฐ์ˆ ์„ ๊ทธ๋“ค์˜ ์ œํ’ˆ ์ธํ”„๋ผ์— ์ถ”๊ฐ€ํ•œ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ฐœํ‘œํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋งค์šฐ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋“ค์ด ๊ฒฐํ•ฉํ•˜์—ฌ ์ˆ˜๋งŒ ๊ฐœ์˜ ์€ํ–‰๊ณผ ๊ธˆ์œต๊ธฐ๊ด€์— ์„œ๋น„์Šค๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ œ ๋””์ง€ํ„ธ ์ž์‚ฐ ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ์‹œ์žฅ์œผ๋กœ ๋„˜์–ด๊ฐ€๊ฒ ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” Circle์—๊ฒŒ ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์šฐ์„ ์ˆœ์œ„์ด์ž ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋กœ ๋‚จ์•„์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2024๋…„ ์ดˆ ๋””์ง€ํ„ธ ์ž์‚ฐ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ USDC๋ฅผ ์ถ”์ง„ํ•˜๋Š” ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ๋ฅผ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•œ ์ดํ›„, ํ˜„๋ฌผ ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜๋Ÿ‰์—์„œ ์ €ํฌ ์ ์œ ์œจ์€ 1%์—์„œ 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— 10%๋กœ ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

We provide primary liquidity in every major financial center, and it facilitated over $1 trillion in USDC issuance and redemption since 2018. With Internet scale distribution across wallets, payment providers, banks and exchanges worldwide, Circle is becoming the default choice for institutions selecting stablecoin network. Our market neutral model invites broad adoption of our platform from even the most competitive players. Our trusted regulated status and long-standing policy engagement, capped by the passage of the GENIUS Act, fortifies our position as the industry's most reliable foundation.์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๋ชจ๋“  ์ฃผ์š” ๊ธˆ์œต ์ค‘์‹ฌ์ง€์—์„œ 1์ฐจ ์œ ๋™์„ฑ์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 2018๋…„ ์ดํ›„ 1์กฐ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ด์ƒ์˜ USDC ๋ฐœํ–‰ ๋ฐ ์ƒํ™˜์„ ์ด‰์ง„ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„ ์ง€๊ฐ‘, ๊ฒฐ์ œ ์„œ๋น„์Šค ์ œ๊ณต์—…์ฒด, ์€ํ–‰ ๋ฐ ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜์†Œ๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•œ ์ธํ„ฐ๋„ท ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ์œ ํ†ต๋ง์„ ํ†ตํ•ด Circle์€ ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ๋ฅผ ์„ ํƒํ•˜๋Š” ๊ธฐ๊ด€๋“ค์˜ ๊ธฐ๋ณธ ์„ ํƒ์ง€๊ฐ€ ๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ์˜ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ค‘๋ฆฝ์  ๋ชจ๋ธ์€ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ์ด ์น˜์—ดํ•œ ํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ด์–ด๋“ค์กฐ์ฐจ๋„ ์ €ํฌ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์„ ํญ๋„“๊ฒŒ ์ฑ„ํƒํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ์˜ ์‹ ๋ขฐ๋ฐ›๋Š” ๊ทœ์ œ ์ง€์œ„์™€ ์˜ค๋žœ ์ •์ฑ… ์ฐธ์—ฌ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  GENIUS ๋ฒ•์•ˆ ํ†ต๊ณผ๋กœ ์ •์ ์„ ์ฐ์€ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋…ธ๋ ฅ๋“ค์€ ์—…๊ณ„์—์„œ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ์‹ ๋ขฐํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์œผ๋กœ์„œ์˜ ์ €ํฌ ์ง€์œ„๋ฅผ ๋”์šฑ ๊ณต๊ณ ํžˆ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Together, these strengths create powerful, competitive bulwarks and network effects that compound driving exponential growth for Circle. With that, I will turn things over to our CFO, Jeremy Fox-Geen. Jeremy Fox-Geen
Chief Financial Officer, Circle Internet Group, Inc. Thank you, Jeremy, and good morning, everyone. I'm excited to be here with you all for our first earnings as a public company. I'll start by walking briefly through the fundamentals of our business and financial model, and then turn to the financial and operating results for the quarter.

Successful networks are valuable and enduring, and our strategy is to build the largest stablecoin network. We make money in two ways. First, we monetize the money stock on the network through reserve income which we earn on the cash equivalent assets we hold to back our stablecoin. And we are also starting to monetize certain transaction flows and elements of our network infrastructure. While these other revenues are small today, they are growing a high margin and also have the potential to scale rapidly with network adoption and usage.์„ฑ๊ณต์ ์ธ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ๋Š” ๊ฐ€์น˜ ์žˆ๊ณ  ์ง€์†๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์ €ํฌ์˜ ์ „๋žต์€ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํฐ ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ๋ฅผ ๊ตฌ์ถ•ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๋‘ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ๋ฐฉ์‹์œผ๋กœ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ ์ฐฝ์ถœํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฒซ์งธ, ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ์„ ๋’ท๋ฐ›์นจํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ๋ณด์œ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ํ˜„๊ธˆ์„ฑ ์ž์‚ฐ์—์„œ ์–ป๋Š” ์ค€๋น„๊ธˆ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ์ƒ์˜ ํ†ตํ™” ์žฌ๊ณ ๋ฅผ ์ˆ˜์ตํ™”ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ํŠน์ • ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ํ๋ฆ„๊ณผ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ ์ธํ”„๋ผ ์š”์†Œ๋“ค์„ ์ˆ˜์ตํ™”ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ธฐํƒ€ ์ˆ˜์ต๋“ค์€ ํ˜„์žฌ๋กœ์„œ๋Š” ๊ทœ๋ชจ๊ฐ€ ์ž‘์ง€๋งŒ, ๋†’์€ ๋งˆ์ง„์œผ๋กœ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ ์ฑ„ํƒ๊ณผ ์‚ฌ์šฉ๋Ÿ‰์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ๋น ๋ฅด๊ฒŒ ํ™•์žฅ๋  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์ž ์žฌ๋ ฅ์„ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Finally, we are an Internet platform business with a highly scalable model and inherent operating leverage with the potential to deliver strong profit growth and margin expansion over time. Let me now review the quarter. Circle's stablecoin network continues to grow strongly. USDC onchain transaction volume was up 5.4 times year-on-year. CCTP volume showed similar growth, up 4.1 times year-on-year, demonstrating the importance of blockchain interoperability. Meaningful wallets, defined as wallets holding more than $10 of USDC, were up 68% year-on-year as USDC adoption continues to expand globally.๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ํ™•์žฅ์„ฑ์ด ๋›ฐ์–ด๋‚œ ๋ชจ๋ธ๊ณผ ๋‚ด์žฌ๋œ ์šด์˜ ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€๋ฅผ ๋ณด์œ ํ•œ ์ธํ„ฐ๋„ท ํ”Œ๋žซํผ ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค๋กœ์„œ, ์‹œ๊ฐ„์ด ์ง€๋‚จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ต ์„ฑ์žฅ๊ณผ ๋งˆ์ง„ ํ™•๋Œ€๋ฅผ ์‹คํ˜„ํ•  ์ž ์žฌ๋ ฅ์„ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ œ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์‹ค์ ์„ ๊ฒ€ํ† ํ•ด๋ณด๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

USDC in circulation stood at $61.3 billion at quarter-end, up 90% year-on-year and was at $65.2 billion as of August 10, up 6.4% since quarter-end. USDC held within Circle's platform infrastructure grew 10 times year-on-year, reaching 10% of total circulation at quarter end as more partners build using our platform infrastructure. The reserve return rate was 4.14% for the second quarter, reflecting the decline in SOFR during this period. Total revenue and reserve income increased 53% year-on-year to $658 million in the second quarter, as growth in USDC in circulation was partly offset by a lower reserve return rate.USDC ์œ ํ†ต๋Ÿ‰์€ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋ง ๊ธฐ์ค€ 613์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 90% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 8์›” 10์ผ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ๋Š” 652์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋ง ๋Œ€๋น„ 6.4% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Total distribution transaction and other costs increased 64% year-on-year to $407 million. The increase was driven by higher average USDC balances held on Coinbase's platform and other partner incentives, as we continue to build and grow partnerships to drive USDC growth and adoption. As a result, our revenue less distribution cost margin was 38% in the second quarter. Other revenue increased to $24 million in the second quarter, up 3.5 times year-on-year. This was primarily driven by a $13 million increase in subscription and services revenue, mostly from our blockchain network partnerships.์ด ์œ ํ†ต ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ๋ฐ ๊ธฐํƒ€ ๋น„์šฉ์€ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 64% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•œ 4์–ต 700๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋Š” ์ฝ”์ธ๋ฒ ์ด์Šค ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์— ๋ณด์œ ๋œ USDC ํ‰๊ท  ์ž”์•ก ์ฆ๊ฐ€์™€ ๊ธฐํƒ€ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ ์ธ์„ผํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ์— ๊ธฐ์ธํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” USDC์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ๊ณผ ์ฑ„ํƒ์„ ์ด‰์ง„ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ ๊ตฌ์ถ• ๋ฐ ํ™•๋Œ€๋ฅผ ์ง€์†ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ, 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์œ ํ†ต๋น„์šฉ ์ฐจ๊ฐ ํ›„ ์ˆ˜์ต๋ฅ ์€ 38%๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ธฐํƒ€ ์ˆ˜์ต์€ 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— 2,400๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜์—ฌ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 3.5๋ฐฐ ์ƒ์Šนํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ฃผ๋กœ ๋ธ”๋ก์ฒด์ธ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ์—์„œ ๋ฐœ์ƒํ•œ ๊ตฌ๋… ๋ฐ ์„œ๋น„์Šค ์ˆ˜์ต์ด 1,300๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ด ์ฃผ์š” ์›์ธ์ด์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Adjusted operating expenses which excludes depreciation and amortization, non-operating digital asset gains and losses and stock-based compensation were $128 million for the quarter as we continue to invest in growing our platform at this pivotal moment for our industry.๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ์ˆ˜์ˆ˜๋ฃŒ๋Š” 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— 580๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ํฌ๊ฒŒ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ 160๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ ์ƒ์Šนํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ธฐํƒ€ ์ˆ˜์ต์€ ์ˆœ ์ค€๋น„๊ธˆ ๋งˆ์ง„๋ณด๋‹ค ๋†’์€ ๋งˆ์ง„์„ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ „์ฒด ๋งˆ์ง„์— 2.2%ํฌ์ธํŠธ๋ฅผ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ์ˆ˜์ต ๋ฐ ์ค€๋น„๊ธˆ ์ˆ˜์ž…์—์„œ ์œ ํ†ต, ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ๋ฐ ๊ธฐํƒ€ ๋น„์šฉ์„ ์ฐจ๊ฐํ•œ ๊ธˆ์•ก์€ 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— 2์–ต 5,100๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 38% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฐ๊ฐ€์ƒ๊ฐ๋น„, ๋ฌดํ˜•์ž์‚ฐ์ƒ๊ฐ๋น„, ๋น„์˜์—… ๋””์ง€ํ„ธ ์ž์‚ฐ ์†์ต, ์ฃผ์‹๊ธฐ์ค€๋ณด์ƒ์„ ์ œ์™ธํ•œ ์กฐ์ • ์˜์—…๋น„์šฉ์€ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ค‘ 1์–ต 2,800๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜€์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์—…๊ณ„์˜ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์ „ํ™˜์ ์—์„œ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ ์„ฑ์žฅ์— ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ํˆฌ์žํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Adjusted EBITDA was $126 million in the quarter, up 52% year-on-year and delivering a 50% adjusted EBITDA margin, reflecting the strong operating leverage inherent in our business model. Now, let me turn to our outlook. Our goal is to help investors and analysts understand our business and how we manage it as best as possible. We are at the beginning of meaningful structural shifts in the global markets for money, and we are managing our business for long-term success. As such, we do not intend to give short-term quarterly guidance. We do intend, however, to give full-year guidance on certain key metrics. We will evolve this guidance each quarter with our financial results as needed.์กฐ์ • EBITDA๋Š” ์ด๋ฒˆ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— 1์–ต 2,600๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ•˜์—ฌ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 52% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์กฐ์ • EBITDA ๋งˆ์ง„ 50%๋ฅผ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ €ํฌ ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค ๋ชจ๋ธ์— ๋‚ด์žฌ๋œ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์šด์˜ ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€๋ฅผ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

USDC in circulation is not a forecastable metric in the traditional sense and is in many ways the outcome of an entire economy of activity. There is a growing body of third-party research on stablecoin growth with multiyear forecast CAGRs ranging from 25% to 90% with a median of 60%. Our core model anticipates multiyear through cycle USDC growth of a 40% CAGR, reflecting our conservative nature. We anticipate other revenue to range between $75 million and $85 million for 2025, primarily driven by subscription and services revenue from our blockchain network partnerships, which can vary quarter-on-quarter along with transaction revenues, which are small today but growing.USDC ์œ ํ†ต๋Ÿ‰์€ ์ „ํ†ต์ ์ธ ์˜๋ฏธ์—์„œ ์˜ˆ์ธก ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•œ ์ง€ํ‘œ๊ฐ€ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ฉฐ, ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๋ฉด์—์„œ ์ „์ฒด ๊ฒฝ์ œ ํ™œ๋™์˜ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ๋ฌผ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ ์„ฑ์žฅ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ œ3์ž ์—ฐ๊ตฌ๊ฐ€ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋‹ค๋…„๊ฐ„ ์˜ˆ์ƒ CAGR์ด 25%์—์„œ 90% ๋ฒ”์œ„๋กœ, ์ค‘๊ฐ„๊ฐ’์€ 60%์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ์˜ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ๋ชจ๋ธ์€ ๋ณด์ˆ˜์ ์ธ ์„ฑํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•˜์—ฌ ๋‹ค๋…„๊ฐ„ ์‚ฌ์ดํด์„ ํ†ตํ•œ USDC ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์„ CAGR 40%๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2025๋…„ ๊ธฐํƒ€ ์ˆ˜์ต์€ 7,500๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 8,500๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๋ฒ”์œ„๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋˜๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ฃผ๋กœ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋ณ„๋กœ ๋ณ€๋™ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋ธ”๋ก์ฒด์ธ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ์˜ ๊ตฌ๋… ๋ฐ ์„œ๋น„์Šค ์ˆ˜์ต๊ณผ, ํ˜„์žฌ๋Š” ๊ทœ๋ชจ๊ฐ€ ์ž‘์ง€๋งŒ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ์ˆ˜์ต์— ์˜ํ•ด ์ฃผ๋„๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We anticipate an RLDC margin of between 36% and 38% for 2025. While RLDC margin for the first half of the year was 39%, we continue to invest in partnerships with industry-leading institutions to grow USDC adoption. Adjusted operating expenses, we expect, will range between $475 million and $490 million in 2025, as we continue to invest in key areas to build out our platform, our capabilities and our global partnerships. This would represent a full-year growth rate of between 20% and 24%. In closing, we have had a strong first half and are executing at an accelerating pace against the significant opportunity in front of us.2025๋…„ RLDC ๋งˆ์ง„์€ 36%์—์„œ 38% ์‚ฌ์ด๋ฅผ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ RLDC ๋งˆ์ง„์ด 39%์˜€์ง€๋งŒ, USDC ์ฑ„ํƒ ํ™•์‚ฐ์„ ์œ„ํ•ด ์—…๊ณ„ ์„ ๋„ ๊ธฐ๊ด€๋“ค๊ณผ์˜ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ์— ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ํˆฌ์žํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์กฐ์ • ์˜์—…๋น„์šฉ์€ 2025๋…„์— 4์–ต 7,500๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 4์–ต 9,000๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์‚ฌ์ด๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ํ”Œ๋žซํผ ๊ตฌ์ถ•, ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰ ๊ฐ•ํ™”, ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ ํ™•๋Œ€ ๋“ฑ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์˜์—ญ์— ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ํˆฌ์žํ•˜๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ  20%์—์„œ 24% ์‚ฌ์ด์— ํ•ด๋‹นํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ๋ฌด๋ฆฌํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ ์‹ค์ ์„ ๊ฑฐ๋‘์—ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์•ž์— ๋†“์ธ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ๊ธฐํšŒ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”๋œ ์†๋„๋กœ ์‹คํ–‰ํ•ด ๋‚˜๊ฐ€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Jeremy J. Allaire: Co-Founder, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Circle Internet Group, Inc. Sure. Thanks, Joe. Look, a few things here. First, we're very excited about Arc. There's a lot more information out about it. Arc, we want to underpin all stablecoin finance, payments FX, capital markets applications. And it's really designed to support mainstream, regulated financial institutions who want to build onchain and build financial products and services onchain. And so, we're excited and we believe that a lot of traffic can move on to a network like Arc. And yes, the gas fees, which are denominated in USDC, can become a source of revenue. And we'll certainly, as this goes into testnet and ultimately launches on mainnet, we'll have a lot more to say about that. But I would also say just to contextualize it, we have a number of transaction fee revenue streams that are emerging, and Jeremy referred in his remarks to the kind of growth in transaction fee revenue, which was very solid on an annualized basis. And we're continuing to see. So, many new products and services that we're building include transaction fee components to them. And of course, that includes CPN as we scale that and includes premium features of Circle Mint. It includes features of USYC, our yield token. And so, we're adding more and more transaction fee models. But you are correct that Arc does have an underlying gas fee transaction fee model built on USDC.**Jeremy J.

Jeremy J. Allaire: Co-Founder, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Circle Internet Group, Inc. Sure. A couple of things of note. So, as noted in my comments, we have expanded our partnership with Binance. That includes both around USDC and USYC. With USDC, they're continuing to adopt Circle Wallet technologies. They have sort of deeper support and integration with Circles Wallet technology, which is going to help promote and grow the use of USDC on their platform. And so, they've been a great partner and they're leaning into both the technology and really driving USDC growth. The partnership around USYC is really important. When we acquired the product and then very recently relaunched the product, we designed it to be something that could be used as a yield-bearing collateral instrument. And when you look at global exchanges today and Binance is the largest global exchange, there is an enormous amount of collateral posted in those markets. And we believe that as institutionalization takes hold, that the big trading firms, asset managers, institutions are going to want to post yield-bearing collateral, but then actually trade with USDC. And so, the integration between USYC as yield-bearing collateral and USDC as digital cash that can be used as a relative margin and is in spot markets and the like, it's a powerful market structure. The fact that we're doing this with the biggest exchange in the world is really significant. And we hope and expect that we will deploy this kind of architecture in more digital asset exchanges, and ultimately on major traditional clearinghouses. Earlier in the year, we announced a collaboration with ICE. And within the context of that, the goal is to stand up the ability to support yield-bearing collateral like USYC, USDC as cash and settlement. And so, this new 24/7, 365 market structure where you can seamlessly move between tokenized yield-bearing collateral and cash, we think it's the future of financial markets. And we're obviously excited about pioneering an implementation of that vision with the largest digital asset exchange in the world.**Jeremy J.

Peter Christiansen: Analyst, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. Good morning. Thank you and certainly, we echo our congratulations on a very, very successful IPO. It's been a long road for you, guys. So, congratulations. Jeremy, I wanted to ask and we get this question quite a bit from investors, is trying to understand the transaction volume versus the circulation. Obviously, transaction volume growing way faster. So, the question kind of comes down to trying to understand the [ph] velocity (00:30:11) of each token and how that relates to circulation overall. Just if you could dimensionalize that for us to help us better understand that relationship would be super helpful.

Yeah, you're welcome. Thanks. Thanks, again. A couple of things of note. I think, obviously, you're absolutely correct. The money stock, which today is sitting at around $65.6 billion of USDC versus the amount of transactional volume that happens on-chain โ€“ that's, by the way, not including transactions that are happening on exchanges, which is sort of off-chain transaction volume, but the on-chain transaction volume โ€“ what you note is that a dollar digital currency such as USDC has very high velocity.: And I think, in part, that is based on the fact that blockchain-based transactions now, through the development of mature blockchain networks, allow transactions to happen in fractions of a second and fractions of a cent. And so, the kind of the speed with which transactions can happen, the ability to move the digital dollars all around the world seamlessly, to move them between different protocols for investment or for payments, it is a higher velocity form of money. And I think just like data moves a lot faster than your newspaper delivery or your video call moves a lot faster than a letter, Internet-native architectures for money are going to allow for higher velocity money overall.**Yeah, you're welcome.

Now, in terms of the connection between that money velocity and core โ€“ and kind of core stablecoin money supply, I mean, I think there's correlation. You can certainly see that correlation. But we've also seen that over the last year, transaction volume growth has been higher than the stablecoin money supply growth. And I think, in part, that reflects the improvements in blockchain technology infrastructure so that it is faster and cheaper and easier to move these digital dollars around.: And that also, I think, reflects the growth in payment utility that we're seeing for these in emerging and developing markets and peer-to-peer transactions. And so, I think it's a mixture of things like that that we look at. And I think from a very long-term perspective, we certainly are interested in kind of the monetary theory that will go behind this new Internet financial system and money velocity and, ultimately, how we think about kind of macro aggregates in terms of impact on economic activity as a whole, but that's a ways off.**Now, in terms of the connection between that money velocity and core โ€“ and kind of core stablecoin money supply, I mean, I think there's correlation.

Jeremy J. Allaire: Co-Founder, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Circle Internet Group, Inc. Sure. It's a great question. So, we're very happy with the initial launch of CPN. We launched it, as you know, just very recently in what we consider to be the pilot phase.

Really, the first phase has been about getting a few key high-priority corridors active on that. So, we've been able to bring four corridors โ€“ Hong Kong, Brazil, Nigeria, Mexico โ€“ on. And as we look at the priorities for ourselves between now and the end of the year, let's just say, we want to bring significantly more corridors on so that money flows can work seamlessly across major developed markets and more emerging and developing markets. And so, that's a big focus and making sure that we can provide sufficient liquidity across those corridors so that people who want to move volume through this can. So, really, activation of corridors is key.: There are a lot of product features that we are developing in response to what the market has told us they need. And so, one of the things that we found is that the number of institutions that want to onboard and become integrated and activate on the network sort of outstrips our capacity to bring them on. And so, we're making self-service product dashboards, self-service tools for kind of configuring the way flows work for these institutions. And so, that is key, those key those key product investments, and we hope to bring significant number of new members on. And obviously, our ultimate ambition is that thousands of members will join CPN and participate in a wide array of payment flows.**Really, the first phase has been about getting a few key high-priority corridors active on that.

Kenneth B. Worthington: Analyst, JPMorgan Securities LLC**Kenneth B. Worthington:** I notice you've only provided the speaker identification "Analyst, JPMorgan Securities LLC" but no actual spoken content to translate.

Could you please provide the management response or spoken content that you'd like me to translate into Korean? I'm ready to translate the actual dialogue or response following your specified guidelines.
Jeremy J. Allaire: Co-Founder, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Circle Internet Group, Inc. Thanks, Ken. It's a great question. There are a few pieces to this. So, first and foremost, USDC as a stablecoin network is a market-neutral infrastructure which many, many different types of companies are building on top of, whether those are capital markets firms, trading firms, exchanges, brokerage platforms, neobanks, traditional banks, payment service providers. There's a huge array of companies, networks themselves like Visa and MasterCard, increasing their use of stablecoins and USDC specifically as well. So, we expect many different payment networks and many different capital markets exchanges and others to build on our stablecoin market infrastructure. We view that as very valuable in growing use cases, very valuable in growing distribution. It can be very valuable in growing the adoption of other technology protocols and services that we also monetize. And so, broadly, we've got a big tent mentality here and we want to see a lot of success across many different types of companies. Now, I think, secondly, when a Shopify launches USDC payment acceptance and they're using a product from Coinbase to do that, that's great. That's exactly what we want to see from our partners like Coinbase and others, we want to see people building and integrating USDC into commerce flows and into other types of applications. And so, as Shopify merchants can accept USDC, that grows the utility of the stablecoin network. That means that digital wallets that are in the hands of the hundreds of millions of Binance users or the 100 million new bank users or users who use different digital wallet products all around the world that support USDC, that they now have something that they can do with that and transact with that. So, that grows network value for Circle and expands the utility, and that's part of our competitive moat is this expanding utility to developers that integrate this and deploy this in different ways. I would also say, just as a kind of comment just in general, we are seeing incredible demand and acceleration from firms in the payments industry, from firms that built infrastructure for supporting payments with a wide variety of companies. Just in recent weeks, we've announced partnerships with Fiserv, FIS, Corpay, Matera, and these are firms that provide core infrastructure, including payment infrastructure, to tens of thousands of banks and financial institutions; and they're integrating our technology, they're integrating USDC. And that's really tremendous and I think just represents that there are going to be many, many different networks and many, many different distribution points for how this comes into payments. Obviously, CPN is a very important initiative from us, and we want that to be a very, very successful general purpose, on-chain payments network. We believe that the model we're putting forward with CPN is going to be very attractive to financial institutions and, ultimately, to the customers that they serve.**Jeremy J.

Yes, I can comment โ€“ yeah, I can comment on that. I think, first and foremost, virtually everything that we do has overwhelmingly been the result of organic product development. We are a technology company. We're a software-driven technology company. And we like to build, we like to innovate. But we certainly, from time to time, find teams, find intellectual property, find complementary technology that we do want to add to the portfolio.: And, in fact, this morning, alongside the announcement of Arc, we announced a small acquisition of both a team and intellectual property that is very important intellectual property in this next generation of stablecoin finance blockchains. So, that's an example where we have done that. And earlier this year, we acquired another firm that had a team and core intellectual property around privacy and confidentiality in blockchains.**Yes, I can comment โ€“ yeah, I can comment on that.

Jeremy J. Allaire: Co-Founder, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Circle Internet Group, Inc. Yeah. It's a great question. We certainly have continued to see demand in remittance. And by the way, remittance that we observe is both kind of family member to family member or kind of individuals, but there's a lot of B2B remittance, meaning companies that may have overseas operations and need to remit capital back to, say, the United States or Asia or Europe, and so, which is more like a Treasury flow.**Jeremy J.

So โ€“ but those kinds of cross-border flows we're seeing proliferate. We have more and more partnerships that are coming online. In this use case, we obviously, in the quarter, had several prominent cross-border fintechs expanding what they're doing with the USDC, Remitly, MoneyGram, ZEPZ as well, all of whom have sizable franchises. And CPN itself, the primary use case on it is remittances, both consumer-to-consumer and B2B, and so we're seeing that as the first major use case on Circle Payments Network as well.: I would also say there are indirect things that we look at. So, for example, kind of peer-to-peer flows in different markets around the world, we kind of try and monitor those peer-to-peer flows through various websites that provide data on that. And we've grown our presence in those peer-to-peer flows fairly considerably over the last year. In terms of the general question of other stablecoins, I mean, I think the key thing to understand is that what makes a stablecoin network good for remittance is the liquidity of that stablecoin all around the world. And so, what we've been able to do, both through primary and secondary liquidity, is create a tremendous liquidity network. And what does that mean? That means that if I have USDC and I send it to a person in Brazil, it's fast and cheap to get that into a Brazilian bank account in reais. And all around the world, there are these on and off ramp companies that support USDC. So, we've built the liquidity network, which eases the way in which people can seamlessly move value and move value in and out of different currencies, e-money systems and banking systems. And so, that liquidity network, which has been many, many years of work with regional banks, global banks, payment service providers and others, is really something that is very, very difficult to replicate. And so, just having a coin doesn't actually really solve a problem in terms of the ultimate delivery of money and the settlement of money and the liquidity of that against all of these different parts of the global financial system.**So โ€“ but those kinds of cross-border flows we're seeing proliferate.

And CPN itself, the primary use case on it is remittances, both consumer-to-consumer and B2B, and so we're seeing that as the first major use case on Circle Payments Network as well.:** ๊ฐ„์ ‘์ ์œผ๋กœ ์‚ดํŽด๋ณด๋Š” ๊ฒƒ๋“ค๋„ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ˆ๋ฅผ ๋“ค์–ด, ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„ ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ์˜ ๊ฐœ์ธ ๊ฐ„ ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ํ๋ฆ„(peer-to-peer flows)์„ ๋ชจ๋‹ˆํ„ฐ๋งํ•˜๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Ÿฐ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๋Š” ๋‹ค์–‘ํ•œ ์›น์‚ฌ์ดํŠธ๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ๊ฐœ์ธ ๊ฐ„ ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ํ๋ฆ„์„ ์ถ”์ ํ•˜๋ ค๊ณ  ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ง€๋‚œ 1๋…„ ๋™์•ˆ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ฐœ์ธ ๊ฐ„ ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ํ๋ฆ„์—์„œ ์ €ํฌ ์กด์žฌ๊ฐ์„ ์ƒ๋‹นํžˆ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ผ๋ฐ˜์ ์ธ ์งˆ๋ฌธ๊ณผ ๊ด€๋ จํ•ด์„œ๋Š”, ํ•ต์‹ฌ์€ ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ์ด ์†ก๊ธˆ์— ์ ํ•ฉํ•œ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ๊ฐ€ ๋˜๋ ค๋ฉด ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„์ ์œผ๋กœ ํ•ด๋‹น ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ์˜ ์œ ๋™์„ฑ์ด ์žˆ์–ด์•ผ ํ•œ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์„ ์ดํ•ดํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ 1์ฐจ ๋ฐ 2์ฐจ ์œ ๋™์„ฑ์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ์—„์ฒญ๋‚œ ์œ ๋™์„ฑ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ๋ฅผ ๊ตฌ์ถ•ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒŒ ๋ฌด์Šจ ์˜๋ฏธ๋ƒ๋ฉด์š”?

Sure. So, first thing I'd say is digital asset markets are a critical market for us. They continue to grow, they're very sizable. There are many companies, both regional companies and global companies, that are critical there. We have been growing our participation in those markets fairly materially. Our share of spot market volume on the major exchanges grew tenfold over the last โ€“ since beginning of 2024.: And so, we're really focused on that. And I think as kind of compliance and regulatory integration and having trustworthy, safe stablecoins becomes more important, we're finding more opportunities to partner with the biggest exchanges. Now, Coinbase had a head start. They were the first big exchange to really bet on USDC, and that's been great for them. Obviously, we established a partnership with Binance. We've expanded that partnership with Binance, and they're the largest exchange in the world. And with OKX, getting back to your question, we're very excited about the expansion of our relationship with OKX. We don't disclose the material or commercial terms of the specific transaction, but what we've characterized is that they're adopting Circle Wallet technology, and we're offering them integration into our core Circle Mint infrastructure so that they can provide the institutions that are coming to their platform with the best possible liquidity experience with USDC.**Sure.

Jeremy J. Allaire: Co-Founder, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Circle Internet Group, Inc. Sure, absolutely. A couple of things. So, one is, I would highly encourage you to read the litepaper, which was made available this morning, and we talk a little bit about some of these issues there. So, there is a novel fee mechanism that we have designed for Arc, which will ensure predictable low costs for transactions. And obviously, those transactions priced in USDC. I believe there'll be subsequently significantly more information about the fee market mechanics as we go into a kind of public testnet. But there's a novel approach that we're taking there. It's very important if you're a financial institution or a commerce firm, that you have low and predictable fees and fees that you can pay in real digital cash. And so, that's very important. And then, in terms of distribution, I think we ultimately aspire that Arc is operated by a fairly large distributed network of professional validators. We are very focused on vetted professional validators that can meet the operational security and compliance expectations for people running this critical infrastructure. We want that to be highly geographically distributed. We want that to be distributed across major institutions as well.**Jeremy J.

Jeremy J. Allaire: Co-Founder, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Circle Internet Group, Inc. Yeah. I mean, it's hard to specifically correlate the kind of the rapid acceleration in USDC growth over the past month and a half or so with a specific legislative outcome. And I think one could broadly say, awareness of USDC is growing around the world, awareness of USDC as a product that is sort of purpose built for what the GENIUS Act represents is interesting. And whether that's affecting user preference, it's very, very hard to know. But my comment, I think, that you were referring to is much more around commercial engagement. Since the Circle IPO and since the final passage of GENIUS Act into law, we have seen just an incredible amount of inbound interest from financial institutions across every sector of the financial industry, from major technology companies, from large enterprises. And we're seeing that interest coming into us from all around the world in all the geographies that we're in. And so, I think this has been a catalytic moment for mainstream institutions to say, okay, now I can play, now I can build, now I can work with this technology. There's obviously also been regulatory relief in the United States for financial institutions to engage in the space, and that's obviously been additive as well. And so, we're just seeing the kind of commercial opportunity set that's coming in for us right now, growing considerably, which is really exciting. And I think that this is very much something that we talked about while we were going through our IPO and engaging with the market, which is that we believed that GENIUS Act would be an important catalytic moment and a tailwind to adoption of what we're doing. And now, we've got to kind of grab those opportunities and make sure we're building the right products and services for these partners and critically make sure we can put together win-win economic relationships where these customers can deliver value for their customers, they can grow economically, we can grow economically. And that's very much our fundamental philosophy as we partner with firms around the world.**Jeremy J.

Jeremy Fox-Geen: Chief Financial Officer, Circle Internet Group, Inc. I'd just add a little to that. GENIUS has clearly been a major catalytic event from that interest from major financial institutions across every segment of financial activity. I'd make one sort of cautionary note, though. While absolutely necessary for this accelerating growth in USDC and in the Internet financial system, financial services companies, particularly the largest ones, integrating with new technologies and rolling that out to their customers, typically takes time. And what's tremendous about where we sit is they're exploring deep integrations with us, which leads to stickiness over time but, at the same time, the speed of that roll out will be dependent upon them and their own abilities internally to make progress.**Jeremy Fox-Geen:** GENIUS๋Š” ๋ถ„๋ช…ํžˆ ๊ธˆ์œต ํ™œ๋™์˜ ๋ชจ๋“  ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ์ฃผ์š” ๊ธˆ์œต๊ธฐ๊ด€๋“ค๋กœ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ๊ด€์‹ฌ์„ ๋ฐ›๋Š” ์ฃผ์š”ํ•œ ์ด‰๋งค ์—ญํ• ์„ ํ•ด์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค๋งŒ ํ•œ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์ฃผ์˜์‚ฌํ•ญ์„ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์‹ถ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Jeff Cantwell: Analyst, Seaport Research Partners Hey. Thanks. First of all, congrats on the IPO, also on the passing of the GENIUS Act. Jeremy, [ph] when it was being signed, I was thinking that for you (00:56:02) and many others involved in the crypto industry. That probably was a long journey getting to that point. So, I wanted to say congrats to you and to everybody who helped make that happen. Can you maybe talk about what you've seen, and sort of following the previous question, post the GENIUS Act's passing, it looks like your USDC in circulation was $61 billion in Q2. Now, at August, it's $65 billion. So, it does sound like you're seeing increasing demand. And I was hoping you can maybe give us a little color as to what you're seeing since the GENIUS Act was passed just a few weeks ago. Is it more a domestic or international growth? Can you just talk more about that? And then, also wanted to ask, how are you thinking about the growth in USDC from here? You're talking about a 40% CAGR. So, how do you describe where you expect to see that growth come from? Would you mind just bucketing what are the incremental opportunities for USDC as you think ahead? That'd be great.

Jeremy J. Allaire: Co-Founder, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Circle Internet Group, Inc. Sure. I'll take part of that and I'll have Jeremy Fox-Geen take part of that as well. So, I mean, the post GENIUS demand, again, as we just talked about, I'm mostly characterizing that around institutional interest in building on our stablecoin network, institutional interest in working with Circle, which as Jeremy Fox-Geen just noted, these institutions and putting together relationships, implementing product, getting those products out and scaling will take time. I think the more recent growth, as I see it, reflects a kind of green light go view within the global environment to utilize stablecoins. That has certainly been fostered by the increasing activity in digital asset markets, but I think it's broadly a kind of a signal to the market that this is now a form of digital cash-like instrument that can be utilized. And so, it's going to be interesting to see. And I know that ties into your other question about growth. Obviously, with recent acceleration, we've grown 90% year-over-year and 49% year-to-date. But in terms of how to think about that going forward, I know, Jeremy Fox-Geen, you have some thoughts on that and just our general philosophy around how to think about that. Because it is not a straightforward thing to guide on, hence the approach that we take.**Jeremy J.

Thank you, Jeremy. I'll talk a bit about kind of how we view โ€“ you referenced the 40% number we put out, how we view that. As I said in my remarks, right, the growth in USDC in circulation in many ways is the output over an entire economy. The digital asset markets were the bootstrap use case for stablecoins and represent the largest part of that economy today. But as I think we've been talking about on this call, we are seeing accelerating interest and growing adoption from every major financial services vertical for whom these new money technologies can bring tremendous advantages.: This is very early days. We are right at the beginning of building the Internet financial system. And there's a multi-year, if not multi-decade, growth for these new technologies within financial services. Specifically as to guidance, there is a growing number of third-party research firms, financial industry analysts who are publishing research on stablecoin growth. And they all see not just the promise that I touched on, but multi-year CAGRs, and those growth rates range from kind of 25% CAGR at the low end up to 90%-plus CAGR at the high end with, from our reading, the best current median at around a 60% CAGR.**Thank you, Jeremy.

Jeff Cantwell: Analyst, Seaport Research Partners Got it. Okay, great. And maybe as a follow-up, one of the frequent questions we've been asked for clarification on about your company post the IPO is, where's the on-chain transaction volume coming from? Can you walk through that in more detail? You just reported $5.9 trillion on on-chain. So, maybe can you discuss the use cases, maybe even geographically where the transactions are coming from? I think a lot of the interest is because public investors are still trying to get a better feel for the world of crypto, whereas the world of fiat still is much more familiar for the obvious reason here in the US.

Jeremy J. Allaire: Co-Founder, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Circle Internet Group, Inc. I can touch on that. And I think as you know, public blockchain data does not include geographic IP addresses or things like that. But there are very good heuristics to look at this.

What I can certainly say is it's highly distributed geographically. The โ€“ there's an enormous amount of traffic in USDC that is around the world, Europe, Asia, emerging and developing markets, Latin America, Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia. So, it is very geographically distributed. And while the US is important, it is not the majority. And so, we see that geographic distribution in the data that we're able to look at.: And obviously, we can identify activity that is specifically USDC that's moving between exchanges or super wallets and things like that. And oftentimes, we'll correlate that to investing activity, savings activity, but also for payments activity. We know, for example, that peer-to-peer payments in emerging and developing markets using stablecoins are a significant use case. But most of those peer-to-peer payments are intermediated by the big wallets that are attached to these big kind of what I think of as financial super apps, like the Coinbase products or the Binance products, where people in those markets are using them not just for trading and investing, they're using them for savings to earn yields and for P2P payments as well. And so, once USDC gets into one of those big platforms, we can't track inside of there exactly all the flows and what people are doing. But those are some comments that I can give. I don't know if you want to add anything, Jeremy?**What I can certainly say is it's highly distributed geographically.

James Yaro: Analyst, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC Hi. Good morning and thanks for taking the question. I just wanted to ask, firstly, on the outlook for non-dollar stablecoins and the necessity for growth of these, in your view, to facilitate stablecoin cross-border payments and thus CPN? And then, perhaps just how you can, I guess, to what degree you plan to facilitate that with EURC?**James Yaro:** ์•ˆ๋…•ํ•˜์„ธ์š”. ์ข‹์€ ์•„์นจ์ด๊ณ  ์งˆ๋ฌธ์„ ๋ฐ›์•„์ฃผ์…”์„œ ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋จผ์ € ๋น„๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ์˜ ์ „๋ง๊ณผ, ๊ท€ํ•˜์˜ ๊ด€์ ์—์„œ ์Šคํ…Œ์ด๋ธ”์ฝ”์ธ ๊ตญ๊ฒฝ ๊ฐ„ ๊ฒฐ์ œ์™€ CPN์„ ์ด‰์ง„ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ฝ”์ธ๋“ค์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์ด ์–ผ๋งˆ๋‚˜ ํ•„์š”ํ•œ์ง€์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ฌป๊ณ  ์‹ถ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  EURC๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ์ด๋ฅผ ์–ด๋А ์ •๋„๊นŒ์ง€ ์ด‰์ง„ํ•  ๊ณ„ํš์ธ์ง€๋„ ๊ถ๊ธˆํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Jeremy J. Allaire: Co-Founder, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Circle Internet Group, Inc. Thanks, James. It's a good question. So, over the long run, we are very optimistic that virtually every major country in the world will have a good stablecoin policy regime and that we'll see proliferation in high quality regulated payment stablecoins. We believe GENIUS Act is actually driving that. We're seeing that with legislators and governments around the world who are now really racing to get their stablecoin policies in place. And so, we do expect that proliferation. We want to work these non-dollars stablecoins. We obviously issue EURC and that has done well. But we want to work with these non-dollar stablecoins because on-chain money is more effective and efficient money, it's programmable money. And from a cross-border perspective, if can have 24/7/365 continuously settled, atomically swappable PvP exchange, that's a very powerful building block. And it's one of the reasons why we are building such an engine into our own core blockchain network, Arc, is that we want to see that mature because we think that as a, again, a programmable building block for commerce, trade and various types of capital markets, activity, that's going to be really important. Now, short of that all maturing, and we do believe it will mature, it is not necessarily an impediment to growing use of stablecoins in cross-border settlement. And CPN itself, really from the start, the kind of FX model is designed to connect stablecoins to local currency liquidity and local electronic money rails. And so, a person sending money from Portugal to a person in Brazil, they might have EURC or USDC sitting on one side of that transaction; and on the other side, there are essentially takers of that, what we call our DFIs who have liquidity of USDC against local Brazilian real. And they can effectively price against existing kind of prices in the market or they're competing on price, and then they can effectively use the immediate credit of the USDC to then initiate that near real-time payment on the ultimate bank transferred money. And so, there are ways to do that, and there are also ways to have the on-chain FX market basically be an on-chain FX market where the market and the pricing is all completed, but where the fulfillment on the currency side is kind of post-trade. And so, that's also a structure that we expect to see developed more as well. But again, long term, we're very much encouraging of and want to see more and more what we call the local partner stablecoins. We want to see them issue on the Arc blockchain. We want to support them on CPN. We want to support them in Circle Mint and in our wallets. And we want to be very multi-stablecoin in what we do, and we believe that's part of building the Internet financial system.**Jeremy J.

Jeremy J. Allaire: Co-Founder, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Circle Internet Group, Inc. Yeah, absolutely. So, Circle Gateway and Circle CCTP saw similar but somewhat different problems. So, CCTP is a protocol at a kind of low level. It's a low level protocol that allows for cross-chain settlement of USDC across a multitude of different blockchains. It's used quite significantly in cross-chain USDC today. The last time I looked, I think it was well over 80% of cross-chain USDC was running through CCTP. And we have a Version 2 of that which has continued to grow as well.**Jeremy J. Allaire:** ๋„ค, ๋ฌผ๋ก ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

So, that allowed โ€“ that's a kind of a more lower level in a sense, and it doesn't solve kind of what we think of as like the user experience problem. In a world of CCTP, what we find is that there are a lot of wallets, whether it's an institutional wallet or a consumer wallet, where you still end up in a world where you need to kind of know which chains do I have USDC on and which chains do I want to get the USDC to? And so, the UX is a hurdle. And so, Circle Gateway is really designed as an abstraction to eliminate that user experience hurdle.: So, a user, again, this could be an institution or an individual just sees a USDC balance. So, they say, I have 10,000 USDC and they can essentially spend that balance in less than a second to any of the supported chains. And so, you can kind of just say, hey, I have USDC, what kind of wallet do you have? Or give me a QR code or give me an address, and it can spend seamlessly to those. So, it really simplifies the UX. This is part of our goal of just kind of having the crypto disappear into the background and make this a more streamlined experience. So, Circle Gateway is a different architecture to accomplish that and it's something that we're really primarily bringing to market through developers who are going to integrate this into their products and services. And like CCTP Version 2, it also does include new opportunities for monetization for Circle. And so, simplified user experience is a feature. We want to monetize that and also just make these products better for people who are using them.**So, that allowed โ€“ that's a kind of a more lower level in a sense, and it doesn't solve kind of what we think of as like the user experience problem.

Brian Bedell: Analyst, Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. Oh, great. Great, thanks. Good morning. Thanks for taking my question. And also, congrats on the very successful IPO. Maybe just a big picture question on growing USDC over time within the industry and the desire to make this a winner take most and increase the scale and network effect of USDC. [ph] Maybe, I guess (01:12:35), Jeremy, what's your appetite for partnering with more institutions? And if that means higher distribution costs and lower reserve margins, is that something that you find appealing to grow USDC or do you really think about the reserve margin as something you want to keep in that mid-30s range at least?**Brian Bedell:** ์•ˆ๋…•ํ•˜์„ธ์š”. ์งˆ๋ฌธ์„ ๋ฐ›์•„์ฃผ์…”์„œ ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋งค์šฐ ์„ฑ๊ณต์ ์ธ IPO๋ฅผ ์ถ•ํ•˜๋“œ๋ฆฝ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—…๊ณ„ ๋‚ด์—์„œ ์‹œ๊ฐ„์ด ์ง€๋‚จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ USDC๋ฅผ ์„ฑ์žฅ์‹œํ‚ค๊ณ  ์ด๋ฅผ ์Šน์ž๋…์‹ ๊ตฌ์กฐ๋กœ ๋งŒ๋“ค์–ด USDC์˜ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์™€ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ ํšจ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ์ฆ๊ฐ€์‹œํ‚ค๋ ค๋Š” ์š•๊ตฌ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ํฐ ๊ทธ๋ฆผ ์ฐจ์›์˜ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์„ ๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์‹ถ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Jeremy J. Allaire: Co-Founder, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Circle Internet Group, Inc. Yeah. I can take part of that and maybe Jeremy Fox-Geen can take the other part of it. So, first of all, we have a very strong appetite for growing partnerships that that are going to grow our network. And I would say, it's helpful to kind of remind folks that we have many, many different types of partnerships. A partnership with a digital wallet is completely different than a partnership with a merchant acquirer, which is completely different than a partnership with a large exchange that has hundreds of millions of users. So, there are many, many different types of partners that we work with. And each one of those partnerships has a unique deal format to it. So, we have we have a lot of different deal playbooks that we execute. And I think it's sort of simplistic to think that every deal has to do with giving away reserve income. That is not the case. We focus on partnerships where each party is, A, focused on delivering value for their customers, so how are they going to grow value for their customers through this partnership; and, B, that it's a win-win growth-oriented model. So, we want to build economic relationships that incentivize growth so that we're seeing that the partnership is actually having an impact on whether it be transaction velocity or market share shift or USDC growth itself. So, we really focus on these win-win growth-oriented relationships. It's not a carte blanche, here's a rate card, go do this kind of thing. We want to build, we want to build with people who want to build and grow with us, and that's our filter for this. And I think that that is working. I think Jeremy maybe can comment more on just sort of how we think about that vis-ร -vis our RLDC margin and the outlook there.**Jeremy J.

But it's important to understand that the strength and breadth of our platform capabilities, combined with our position as market-neutral infrastructure, encourages more players and enables even fierce competitors, right, to build on and integrate with our platform. And so, our partners then bring the benefits of these new money technologies to their customers, benefiting their customers, builder their business, and growing USDC usage and adoption, which strengthens our network with more capabilities, more users, more distribution. And this is a network business with network effect, and our position strengthens as the network strengthens.**Jeremy Fox-Geen:** ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค, Jeremy. ์ด๋ฅผ ๋ฐ”ํƒ•์œผ๋กœ ์„ค๋ช…์„ ์ด์–ด๊ฐ€๊ณ  ์ˆ˜์น˜ ๋ถ€๋ถ„๋„ ๋‹ค๋ฃจ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์šฐ์„  ์ดํ•ดํ•ด์•ผ ํ•  ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์ ์€ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰์˜ ๊ฐ•์ ๊ณผ ํญ๋„“์Œ์ด ์‹œ์žฅ ์ค‘๋ฆฝ์  ์ธํ”„๋ผ๋กœ์„œ์˜ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์œ„์น˜์™€ ๊ฒฐํ•ฉ๋˜์–ด ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ์ฐธ์—ฌ์ž๋“ค์„ ๋Œ์–ด๋“ค์ด๊ณ , ์‹ฌ์ง€์–ด ์น˜์—ดํ•œ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ์—…์ฒด๋“ค๊นŒ์ง€๋„ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์„ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์œผ๋กœ ๊ตฌ์ถ•ํ•˜๊ณ  ํ†ตํ•ฉํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๊ฒŒ ํ•œ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ๋“ค์ด ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ํ™”ํ ๊ธฐ์ˆ ์˜ ์ด์ ์„ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋˜๊ณ , ์ด๋Š” ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ๋„์›€์ด ๋˜๊ณ  ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ๋“ค์˜ ์‚ฌ์—…์„ ์„ฑ์žฅ์‹œํ‚ค๋ฉฐ USDC ์‚ฌ์šฉ๊ณผ ์ฑ„ํƒ์„ ๋Š˜๋ ค์„œ ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰, ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž, ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ์œ ํ†ต์œผ๋กœ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ๋ฅผ ๊ฐ•ํ™”์‹œํ‚ต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์€ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ ํšจ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๊ฐ€์ง„ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค์ด๋ฉฐ, ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ๊ฐ€ ๊ฐ•ํ™”๋ ์ˆ˜๋ก ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์œ„์น˜๋„ ๋”์šฑ ๊ฒฌ๊ณ ํ•ด์ง‘๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
And that's important context for our future outlook on RLDC margin. We're not guiding beyond 2025 at this time. However, I think of three factors that provide relative strength tailwinds, if you like, relative strength to this margin over time. The first would be the growing strength from network effects, which is what I was just talking about. And we see that in our commercial discussion. And we also know that โ€“ and this important to remember โ€“ growth in USDC held within partner infrastructure, which may be subject to incentives, also leads to growth USDC in the ecosystem more broadly held outside of partner infrastructure. So, we see growing strength from network effects. That's the first point.: The second, we see growth in USDC held within Circle's platform infrastructure. We have a broad-based, feature-rich platform, as I just mentioned, and our position as market-neutral infrastructure only enables more people to build upon our platform over time. And that's important, and we have greater economic flexibility with USDC held within our platform infrastructure. And then, finally, we have growth in our high-margin other revenues, right. Predominantly, today, we make money from the stock of money on the network. Over time and through products we've already launched and started talking about, even as they're nascent today, we will be monetizing certain of the flows across that network infrastructure where we are able to add value-added services to the benefit of the users. And so, we see this growth in other revenues over time and those are very high-margin revenues and provide strength to our overall margin over time. So, those three things combined, we think, provide long-term relative strength to our RLDC margin.**And that's important context for our future outlook on RLDC margin.
