ME News reports that on July 31 (UTC+8), Circle announced that the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) has granted its subsidiary, Circle Internet Trust Company LLC, a limited-purpose trust charter. Circle stated that this charter further strengthens the company’s and USDC’s regulatory foundation, reflecting its ongoing commitment to security, transparency, and compliance standards.
