Mobile wallet provider Gcash, a dominant force in digital finance in the Philippines, announced on March 18 in Manila that it has integrated Circle’s USDC stablecoin into its Gcrypto platform. The update enables millions of users to convert pesos into USDC directly within the Gcash app, giving them access to a fully reserved digital dollar for savings, payments, and global transactions.

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire underscored the milestone on social media platform X, stating:

The largest and most widely used digital money app in the Philippines, Gcash, just announced support for USDC in their mobile wallet. Another ~100m users being brought into Circle’s stablecoin network.

USDC is a regulated stablecoin backed 1:1 by cash and cash-equivalent reserves held at financial institutions, with monthly attestations from third-party firms to ensure transparency.

Circle highlighted the broader implications of the partnership for financial empowerment in the region. “At Circle, we believe expanding access to digital financial tools drives economic empowerment,” stated Yam Ki Chan, Circle’s vice president for Asia Pacific. “We are excited that Gcash is enabling millions of Filipinos to participate in the digital economy with confidence and security.” As global interest in stablecoins continues to grow, this move positions Gcash as a key gateway for Filipinos seeking access to secure and borderless financial tools.

Gcash emphasized that the addition of USDC strengthens trust in digital currency usage within the platform. Arjun Varma, Gcash Group Head of Wealth Management, commented:

The integration of USDC is a significant step in enhancing financial inclusion in the Philippines.

“By offering easy access to digital dollars, we empower our users with a stable and globally recognized financial asset,” the executive added. The service is accessible through Gcrypto, where users can select USDC and complete the transaction using their existing peso balance.
