Circle president Heath Tarbert defended USDC as competition in the stablecoin market intensified and pressure continued on Circle shares.

Tarbert said Circle remains focused on building trusted digital payment infrastructure. He argued that regulatory compliance and transparency will support USDC's long-term growth.

His comments came as new stablecoin competitors entered the market, raising concerns among investors about Circle's future market share.

Circle has positioned USDC as a regulated digital dollar for payments, settlements and financial applications across multiple blockchain networks.

The company has continued expanding partnerships with financial institutions and payment providers to increase USDC adoption worldwide.

Despite growing competition, Circle said demand for regulated stablecoins continues to increase as more businesses explore blockchain-based payments.

Investors are expected to watch Circle's financial performance and USDC adoption closely as competition in the stablecoin sector continues to expand.
