Circle's Allaire Reveals Its Web3 Infrastructure Strategy

The launch of Programmable Wallets, an innovative Web3 infrastructure product, was only the first milestone in the ambitious road map Circle has in this segment, Jeremy Allaire says. Here's how his platform is going to speed up the Web2-to-Web3 transition in global finances for individuals and businesses.

Circle to address lack of Web3 infrastructure solutions, CEO Allaire says

In the coming months, Circle, a multi-product digital finance heavyweight and the issuer of the USD Coin (USDC) stablecoin, will bet big on building its own Web3 infrastructure products. This will streamline the processes of development for cryptocurrency application teams across the globe, Allaire highlighted in a recent Twitter thread.

As such, Web3 services will evolve into "the next major pillar of Circle's strategy," CEO Allaire stressed. The increased demand for reliable, holistic and ready-made blockchain infrastructure is a natural consequence of markets getting mature:

It seems clear that nearly every major consumer internet company, brand and enterprise will start integrating Web3 primitives into their services.  And nearly every fintech, payment company and financial institution will use Web3 for tokenization, payments, and financial apps
