“Circle’s vision for a new internet financial system is coming
alive in a tremendous and exciting way,” said Jeremy Allaire,
Co-Founder and CEO of Circle. “One World Trade Center and all it
stands for – freedom, strength and a projection of America’s
central role in the global economy – are the catalysts of global
prosperity. Our new headquarters near the top of One World Trade
Center is a symbol of the trust, security and stability we’re
building as a critical infrastructure provider for the future of
finance.”
Configured as a convening space to reflect Circle’s mission of
building a more open, inclusive, safer and efficient global
economic system, the new headquarters spans the entirety of the
87th floor and is set to open in early 2025. Entrepreneurs,
developers, partners, innovators, technologists, heads of state and
government leaders will convene with Circle to create, dialogue and
build the new internet financial system together.
“We are investing in New York. We are investing in America,”
said Jeremy Allaire, Co-founder and CEO of Circle. “We believe that
the infrastructure we are collectively building – this new internet
financial system – will be the foundation for the next century of
global economic activity, and we feel so privileged to join New
York’s thriving community of innovators, technologists and
financial leaders.”
"Circle has worked to build the world's safest and most trusted
digital dollar infrastructure. Nothing speaks to the
competitiveness of the U.S. economy like New York City, the capital
of the capital markets. And in the US, nothing stands as a greater
testament to national resilience than One World Trade Center,”
added Dante Disparte, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global
Policy at Circle.
Originating in Boston, and like many technology-driven
companies, Circle has scaled out largely as a remote-first
operation, employing almost 1,000 employees across 36 US states and
14 countries. Circle employees have a presence in many of the
world’s leading cities including New York, Berlin, Boston, Dublin,
London, Paris, Singapore, San Francisco Bay, São Paulo and Taipei.
In over a decade of operations, New York has become a major hub for
Circle employees.
