Circle has launched its mainnet for the Circle Payments Network (CPN), a groundbreaking development set to reshape global finance. This new system utilizes blockchain technology and USDC stablecoins to provide near-instant, secure, and cost-effective cross-border payments, ultimately replacing traditional methods that often take days or even weeks. How does it work? CPN works by leveraging the speed and efficiency of public blockchains. Instead of relying on intermediaries and complex banking routes, CPN allows value to be transferred directly between parties, creating a faster and more transparent experience. This real-time functionality offers significant advantages for businesses, including quicker access to funds, improved cash flow management, and reduced operational headaches.
