Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Binance acquired a $100 million equity stake in Circle, the company behind the USDC stablecoin. This investment was made through a private placement of shares on September 17, as part of an expanded five-year partnership. Under the agreement, Circle also committed to paying Binance a monthly incentive fee based on the volume of USDC processed through Circle’s infrastructure. The news caused Circle shares to rise over 1.3% in NYSE premarket trading on Tuesday.
