Legend Trading connects Internet, Blockchain, and Stablecoins to form the foundation for fast, efficient cross-border payments, and is proud to be one of the first service providers for Circle’s Circle Payment Network (CPN).
April 24 2025 — Legend Trading, a global leader in institutional crypto trading, today announced its strategic expansion into blockchain-based global payments — a significant milestone in its mission to build a borderless financial infrastructure.
Legend Trading has been selected as one of the first partners for Circle’s Circle Payment Network (CPN), a transformative initiative that bridges blockchain ecosystems with traditional financial systems. In collaboration with Circle, Legend Trading has been accelerating the adoption of USDC across high-growth regions such as Latin America (LATAM) and Asia-Pacific (APAC), giving institutions seamless access to digital dollars while advancing financial inclusion. Building on this momentum, Legend Trading and Circle are working together to reshape global payments by integrating blockchain technology with traditional banking rails.
Delivering a global crypto liquidity network
Building an extensive global banking infrastructure
Creating a seamless global payment framework
Together, these pillars support the next generation of borderless finance.
Strength in trading, innovation in payments
Legend Trading’s OTC business continues to deliver deep liquidity and highly competitive pricing across major digital assets. With 951 institutional clients served globally, Legend has earned its reputation as a trusted leader in institutional-grade crypto trading.
Legend Pay, the company’s fiat-to-crypto gateway, has been integrated by leading platforms such as Circle, MetaMask, Deribit, Phemex, BingX, and over 20 others — enabling millions of users to seamlessly convert between fiat and cryptocurrencies.
Rapidly expanding global regulatory footprint
As part of its mission to build a compliant and open financial infrastructure, Legend Trading Group is rapidly expanding its global regulatory footprint:
United States: Legend Trading and its affiliates hold multiple Money Transmitter Licenses (MTLs) across key states, reinforcing its status as a secure and compliant digital asset service provider.
Europe: In 2024, Legend Trading was approved by the Central Bank of Ireland as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP). In early 2025, it also became one of the first firms to submit a Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) application under Europe’s MiCA regulatory framework.
Global: Legend Trading is actively pursuing VASP licenses in other key regions, including South Africa, Hong Kong, and Singapore, as part of its strategy to build a globally compliant digital finance ecosystem.
Legend Trading is at the forefront of evolving the payments industry, leveraging blockchain technology, stablecoins, and a growing global network to build the financial infrastructure of the future.
