CoinMeta Data: Binance announces an investment of $100 million to purchase shares of Circle and signs a 5-year business agreement to promote and integrate USDC within the platform. The number of USDC spot trading markets on Binance has increased from 140 to 329, with monthly trading volume rising from $20 billion to over $80 billion. Since 2026, Binance has processed daily spot trading volumes ranging from $5 billion to $10 billion. The market value of USDC is approximately $74 billion, which is lower than the approximately $140 billion of USDT. USDT's co-founder Martins Benkitis stated that both parties will leverage Binance's users and infrastructure to expand the scale of USDC, which will put pressure on USDT's position in global trading and emerging markets. However, USDT boasts a deep range of trading pairs, local liquidity, and user habits.
