The USYC fund primarily invests in U.S. Treasury debt and reverse repurchase agreements. This acquisition marks Circle’s latest move to expand its presence in the digital asset market, where it competes with rival stablecoin issuer Tether.

To support the integration of USYC, Circle has formed a partnership with Cumberland, a major institutional crypto trading firm and a subsidiary of DRW.
