Circle Ventures, the corporate venture arm of Circle, has become an investor in the CV VC African Blockchain Fund, a vehicle dedicated to backing young entrepreneurs building the future of Web3 in Africa.
Fresh off its successful IPO, Circle , the company behind USDC, the world’s most trusted regulated stablecoin now at $73.6 billion in circulation has put its weight behind Africa’s blockchain growth story.
This move signals global recognition of what’s unfolding on the continent. Africa’s founders aren’t chasing hype; they’re creating real-world blockchain solutions that solve pressing problems. Circle’s participation underscores that momentum.
Through its regulated entities, Circle issues USDC, a fully reserved, dollar-backed stablecoin redeemable 1:1 for USD. Over the past year, stablecoins have recorded nearly $40 trillion in transaction volume (Visa Onchain Analytics Dashboard). In regions like Africa, where underbanking is common, USDC is already enabling faster, cheaper payments and remittances.
As adoption accelerates, CV VC remains committed to supporting pioneering founders reshaping the way the world works, interacts, and transacts — now alongside Circle Ventures. Blockchain funds have consistently outperformed traditional funds and offer both diversification and a hedge against inflation.
With corporate blockchain adoption surging — 81 of the world’s top 100 public companies now use the technology — the African innovation story is only beginning.
CV VC gives qualified investors exposure to blockchain’s full investment spectrum, from early-stage venture capital portfolios to liquid hedge fund strategies, bridging vision, capital, and transformative technology.
