Circle x Lyzi: stablecoins for real use

This summer, the French Riviera was not only the scene of major Web3 events; it also witnessed a concrete collaboration between Lyzi and Circle, around a common vision: Transform stablecoins from theory to real use.

On the occasion of”ETHCC in Cannes, the Lyzi and Circle teams met to present a new use case: pay in EURC, directly in physical shops, thanks to Lyzi.

⚡ Stablecoins at the service of daily life

For a long time, stablecoins were seen as a tool reserved for decentralized finance or trading.
Today, thanks to concrete integrations such as the one between Circle and Lyzi, they become a a true universal, instant and stable payment method.

Thanks to the integration ofEURC (euro stablecoin issued by Circle) And of USDC, Lyzi users can now:

• Pay for their daily purchases (cafes, restaurants, restaurants, shops, hotels, etc.),
• En A few seconds, from their wallet,
• While allowing retailers to receive Euros immediately, without any exposure to volatility.

“Real stablecoin payments. Real croissants.”
This is what Circle brilliantly summed up in their video shot in Cannes this summer, alongside Lyzi.

🌍 Real adoption: more than a concept, a reality

At Lyzi, our vision is clear: adoption requires use.
And we are building this use every day, with our partners, on the ground.

Today, thanks to the integration of EURC and USDC:

• More than 1 million payment terminals (Verifone, Ingenico, Nepting, etc.) are compatible with Lyzi,
• More than 2,000 retailers in France and Europe already accept crypto payments,
• And the stablecoin is becoming a fluid gateway between Web3 and the real economy.

“Stablecoins are not coming; they are already there.”
-- Damien Patureaux, CEO of Lyzi
