INFINIOS and Circle Partner on Stablecoin Infrastructure for Middle East

INFINIOS has entered a strategic agreement with Circle to deploy stablecoin-powered payment, treasury, and digital asset solutions across the Middle East and adjacent markets. The partnership centres on integrating Circle’s USD Coin into financial infrastructure serving businesses and institutions in the region.

The arrangement signals continued positioning of the Middle East as a deliberate build-out zone for tokenised settlement rails, with regional partners now securing direct issuer relationships rather than relying on correspondent or custodian intermediation. INFINIOS joins a lengthening roster of Gulf-adjacent platforms formalising Circle ties, reflecting regulatory comfort with reserve-backed stablecoins as cash-equivalent instruments in treasury and cross-border flows.

The development underscores the shift from pilot rhetoric to named commercial agreements in the Gulf corridor. For institutions weighing stablecoin treasury or payment integration, Middle East counterparty appetite is becoming a near-term factor in liquidity and settlement design, particularly where correspondent banking friction remains material.
