Circle Internet Group, Inc. (NYSE:CRCL) has announced a partnership with Grammy Award-winning artist, producer and composer, Wyclef Jean, who joins as Circle’s Global Culture Advisor.
This marks the beginning of a strategic partnership to spotlight communities around the world using stablecoin technology and bring Circle’s mission to life through storytelling and performance.
Together, Circle and Wyclef will connect diasporas, art, and innovation, showcasing how a more open and inclusive financial system can expand access to new opportunities around the world.
“We are proud to welcome Wyclef Jean as our Global Culture Advisor,” said Kash Razzaghi, Chief Commercial Officer at Circle. “His artistry, activism, and entrepreneurial spirit embody the human-centered innovation that defines Circle. Wyclef’s voice transcends genres and borders, making him the perfect partner to help us illustrate how – when brought together – culture and technology can raise global economic prosperity.”
“Culture currency is all about having more direct access to what’s yours, whether that’s your finances or the music you create,” said Wyclef Jean. “That’s what drew me to Circle. Their mission-driven products and services are empowering people to own their financial futures, creating a more connected and equitable system that opens new doors for communities across the globe.”
Launching globally in 2026, Circle and Wyclef will use immersive content to spotlight how communities in emerging markets are using USDC in practical and innovative ways – from receiving payments near-instantly across borders to growing small businesses with transparent dollar-denominated stablecoins. Through intimate on-the-ground conversations, Wyclef will connect with global stablecoin users to understand how payment stablecoins have transformed how they spend, save, and create.
As Circle’s Global Culture Advisor, Wyclef will serve as a cultural advisor to Circle and co-create storytelling and new community activations as part of Circle’s ongoing USDC campaigns. Circle and Wyclef are forging a new kind of partnership, one that transforms financial technology into a cultural bridge between people, purpose, and prosperity.
