The Coinbase team posted an official notice on Twitter about the lifting of the moratorium on USD Coin (USDC) stablecoin conversion operations, introduced a few days ago amid the temporary depegging of the Circle asset. It is promised that in the near future Coinbase customers will be able to conduct transactions as usual through the API and user interface of the exchange.
USDC has almost completely regained its peg to the dollar after the US government announced that it would take all necessary measures to ensure the return of funds to Silicon Valley Bank depositors. On Monday evening, March 13, according to СoinMarketСap, the cost of the USDC stablecoin is $0.998
Earlier, Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire announced that Circle would transfer all remaining deposits from Silicon Valley to BNY Mellon accounts. In addition, the head of Circle announced a new partnership with another financial institution – Cross River Bank. Ellire said that thanks to the integration of payment services, from March 13, Circle will resume conducting settlement transactions in US dollars in an automated mode.
