Jia Goes Live on Celo with Circle’s Native USDC! 🎉
Hello Friends of Jia and Jia-raffes!
We are excited to share a monumental update from the financial access factory floor: Jia has launched a new pool on Celo powered by its new native USDC integration!
This development marks a new chapter in our mission to revolutionize financial access in emerging markets, bringing innovative solutions to entrepreneurs worldwide.
Embracing the Power of Native USDC on Celo
Last month, Circle announced its partnership with the Celo ecosystem to deploy native USDC on Celo, the blockchain network renowned for its speed, scalability, and low-cost transactions. Today, we’re proud to join this dynamic ecosystem, leveraging the transformative potential of USDC to drive real-world impact and financial inclusion.
Partnering with Circle, Building a New Financial System
Circle, a global financial technology firm and issuer of USDC, has been instrumental in bringing the benefits of USDC to the Celo ecosystem. Their commitment to leveraging blockchain technology for a more open, equitable, and connected financial future aligns perfectly with our mission at Jia. Together with Circle and the Celo community, we’re paving the way for a more inclusive financial landscape.
Unlocking a World of Possibilities
With native USDC on Celo, Jia is poised to unlock a multitude of possibilities for entrepreneurs and small businesses. From low-cost payments and remittances to 24/7 trading, borrowing, and lending opportunities, our platform offers a gateway to a more inclusive and connected financial future.
Empowering Entrepreneurs Worldwide
At Jia, our mission has always been to empower entrepreneurs like Francis Njoroge, a spice vendor from Githurai, Kenya. With our launch on Celo and native USDC integration, we’re doubling down on our commitment to democratizing finance and creating opportunities for economic growth and prosperity.
More efficient capital flows, lower transaction costs, more seamless and transparent lending operations, and a fairer distribution of wealth are all made possible by the blockchain, making entrepreneurs like Francis’ life better every day.
Joining Forces with Leading Projects
We’re honored to stand alongside a diverse array of projects committed to leveraging native USDC on Celo. From innovative payment solutions to decentralized finance platforms, our collective efforts are reshaping the way individuals access and interact with financial services. Together, we’re paving the way for a more equitable and accessible financial landscape.
We are excited for the prospects of powering financial solutions for users of Celo’s ultralight stablecoin wallet Opera MiniPay, currently available in Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria, and Valora, a self-custody crypto wallet that leverages mobile phone numbers as addresses to simplify payments and remittances.
