Circle Receives Limited Purpose Trust Charter From The New York Department Of Financial Services

Circle’s New York trust charter underscores Circle’s commitment to the highest standards of safety, transparency, and compliance. In 2015, Circle became the first company to receive a BitLicense from NYDFS, marking the beginning of an enduring regulatory relationship with the agency.

"Earning a New York trust charter has been a longstanding objective for Circle given the regulatory clarity that comes with it," said Jeremy Allaire, Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Circle. "NYDFS is an international standard setter for digital asset regulation, and New York is Circle's global headquarters. This charter reflects over a decade of regulatory commitment and positions USDC within a strong, respected framework as digital dollars become central to the global financial system."
