 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 Developer 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.                                                         |

| • |     | Market education and thought leadership. We invest considerable resources in providing thought leadership                                                                               
 and market education about the potential of the internet financial system, and the role that stablecoins can play in improving the delivery of financial services and digital commerce. |

| • |     | Supporting the development of sound regulatory policy. Since our founding, we have sought to engage                                                                                                                                              
 constructively with policymakers and regulators worldwide, and today invest considerable resources in engaging with these communities as new and robust regulations and laws are put in place for the digital asset ecosystem. This advocacy has 
 contributed to the recent passage of the GENIUS Act, the first U.S. federal regulatory regime specifically tailored to payment stablecoins.                                                                                                      |
