CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY CIRCLE INTERNET GROUP, INC. PURSUANT TO 17 C.F.R. § 200.83

We issue the world’s largest regulated payment stablecoin—by which we mean a payment stablecoin that is regulated as a stored-value instrument under FinCEN money services businesses regulation and state money transmission laws in the United States and as an electronic money token in Europe (see “Business—Regulatory policy landscape” for the principal regulations to which we are subject)—as measured by the amount of stablecoins in circulation. As a result, we play a highly active role in driving stablecoin adoption. Key initiatives that we have taken to advance stablecoin adoption include:

| • |     | Technology innovation.  We invest considerable product and engineering effort in advancing the state-of-the-art in technologies to scale and simplify the use of stablecoins in everyday financial and commercial applications. Our                       
 blockchain infrastructure product pillar is focused on ensuring that end-users can safely move USDC and EURC across many blockchain networks, while abstracting away many of the complexities associated with making a payment or interacting with a      
 blockchain-based financial application. At the same time, through our Web3 Services product pillar, we are enabling software developers to easily integrate stablecoins into their own apps, and safely deploy applications that interact with blockchain 
 networks and smart contracts.                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |

| • |     | Comprehensive access and distribution.  We prioritize making stablecoins as accessible and widely                                                                                                                                                      
 distributed as possible, integrating Circle stablecoins into new blockchains, providing primary liquidity through a network of banks, and partnering with distributors such as digital asset capital markets participants, wallet providers, and other 
 large enterprises building products for their customers and ecosystems. Easy access to stablecoins is key to increasing usage, which in turn promotes the utility and adoption of stablecoins.                                                         |
