Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire said that demand for USDC continues to grow, especially with interest from businesses and individuals who want to adopt a new version of internet-based money.

Apart from the USDC integration, Circle and OKX will also develop educational programs to inform customers about USDC and its potential benefits.Â
