Circle has expanded its stablecoin payment services in Europe by launching Stablecoin Payouts through Circle Mint France. This gives eligible businesses a compliant way to automate cross-border payments using USDC and EURC. The service lets companies send stablecoin payments to hosted wallets in over 180 countries with one API integration. Circle says the platform is meant for financial institutions, payment providers, fintechs, and large companies that want to simplify international payments and meet Europe’s new regulatory rules under the MiCA framework.
This European launch builds on a similar service Circle started earlier this year in Singapore. By bringing the service to France, Circle is growing its presence in one of the fastest-growing regulated stablecoin markets in the world.
Circle says businesses can use the service for many payment needs, like merchant settlements, supplier payments, contractor payouts, creator payments, business-to-business transactions, and platform disbursements. The API helps automate payment workflows and cuts down on manual work for organizations that make frequent cross-border transfers.
Along with USDC, Circle is encouraging more use of EURC, its euro-backed stablecoin that meets MiCA rules. Businesses can pick either dollar or euro stablecoin payments based on their needs. Circle said almost €381 million worth of EURC is already in circulation, showing rising demand for regulated euro stablecoins.
Security and compliance are key to the new platform. Circle said Circle Mint France uses mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS), so both Circle and its customers must verify each other before API requests go through. The company believes this extra security helps meet European rules under MiCA and the Transfer of Funds Regulation (TFR).
The new payout service also forms part of Circle’s broader enterprise infrastructure. Circle Mint already offers USDC and EURC minting and redemption, cross-chain transfers through its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), connectivity across more than 15 blockchain networks, fiat on- and off-ramp services, embedded Travel Rule compliance and payment automation tools.
Circle said businesses can now set up stablecoin payment workflows without needing several different providers for custody, compliance, settlement, and blockchain connections. This all-in-one approach should make cross-border payments simpler, faster, and more efficient.
This expansion shows that stablecoins are being used for more than just crypto trading. More businesses are now using regulated digital currencies for treasury management, institutional finance, global trade, and international payments. By growing Circle Mint France, the company aims to meet the rising demand for compliant digital payment systems across Europe.
Stablecoin Payouts are now available through Circle Mint France.
Eligible European partners can use the Payouts API to send third-party payouts in USDC and EURC to hosted wallets through a single integration.
