Circle's USD Coin (USDC), integrated with the Hedera network, offers a regulated, fiat-backed stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. This collaboration allows USDC to be minted natively on Hedera, leveraging the network's fast settlements (around 3-5 seconds), low transaction fees (typically $0.0001 to $0.001, paid in HBAR), and high scalability.
USDC on Hedera provides a trusted, stable, and reliable bridge for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and end-users on the Circle and Hedera networks. Circle's increasingly popular suite of developer APIs offers full support for USDC on Hedera, facilitating its use in various applications including both payments and micropayments.
With USDC, enterprises and financial institutions have access to cross-platform liquidity and secure cross-border transactions. It’s currently used to facilitate payments and micropayments within applications such as Calaxy, Dropp, and Scintilla as well as to in support of numerous DeFi, NFT projects, and network bridge applications building on Hedera including SaucerSwap and Hashport.

Quarter Homes is a real estate technology company that modernizes vacation home ownership through a fractional, co-ownership model. It aims to make owning a second home more accessible and affordable by allowing up to four parties to collectively purchase and own a property. Quarter Homes manages the entire lifecycle of the property, including all legal, financial, and property management complexities, to provide a seamless, hassle-free experience.
The company’s innovative model incorporates the Hedera blockchain network, which underpins its operational framework. For each property, a unique LLC is established, and the legal ownership interest is divided into fractions represented as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Hedera Token Service (HTS). This provides each owner with a verifiable, digital proof of ownership.
Quarter Homes leverages the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a transparent and immutable log of all activities associated with the property. This includes governance, maintenance activities and scheduling, ensuring all parties have a trusted and shared view of the property's status and history.
