“Cryptocurrency firms Circle and Coinbase are a launching bold effort to make money as easy to move around the world as internet data and content. In a press release sent to CoinDesk on Thursday, Circle said that, since the initial launch of the CENTRE consortium’s US Dollar Coin (USDC) stablecoin, the two firms have been working to build and finalize what it’s calling a “membership-based framework and governance scheme for the development and growth of money on the internet.” More formally called the CENTRE Network, the scheme is envisioned as a provider of new open standards to facilitate this dream.”
