Circle Has USDC Revenue Sharing Deal With Second-Largest Crypto Exchange ByBit: Sources
Circle, the U.S.-listed stablecoin issuer, has quietly arranged a revenue sharing agreement with Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange, according to two people with knowledge of the arrangement.Circle, which is sandwiched in competition between larger rival Tether and a growing crop of new stablecoins, shares 50% of the yield from reserves backing its U.S. dollar-pegged USDC stablecoin with crypto exchange Coinbase, a long-standing arrangement that has helped proliferate USDC across the industry.

The Evolution of Crypto Trading: From Wild West to Regulated Innovation
The journey of cryptocurrency trading constantly evolves and has been nothing short of revolutionary. Right from the start, the cryptocurrency landscape has been referred to as the “wild west” due to its nature of decentralisation and minimal oversight. However, now the space consists of increasingly sophisticated and regulated financial products and the transformation has been profound. The shift in perception has been a critical development in driving the need for robust frameworks that foster institutional adoption and, crucially, boost investor confidence.In its infancy, crypto trading was the domain of early tech evangelists and a niche community of retail investors leveraging the premise of decentralised permissionless finance.
