Legend Trading, a global leader in institutional crypto trading, today announced its strategic expansion into blockchain-based global payments

Global institutional crypto trading firm Legend Trading has announced its strategic expansion into blockchain-based global payments.

Selected as one of the first partners for Circle’s Circle Payment Network (CPN), Legend Trading is a leading U.S. compliant cryptocurrency trading firm trusted by nearly 951 institutional clients globally.

Having integrated Legend Pay, the company’s fiat-to-crypto gateway, with leading platforms such as Circle, MetaMask, Deribit, Phemex, BingX, and more than 20 others, the company’s products are used by millions of users to seamlessly convert between fiat and cryptocurrencies.

Together with Circle, Legend Trading has been facilitating the adoption of USDC across high-growth regions such as Latin America (LATAM) and Asia-Pacific (APAC), enabling institutions to easily access digital dollars and promoting financial inclusion.

Now, they are taking this collaboration a step further by combining blockchain technology with traditional banking rails to reshape global payments.

“At Legend Trading, our vision is to remove barriers in global finance and provide frictionless payment solutions powered by the blockchain technology,” said Hao Chen, the CEO of Legend Trading.

“We believe that Internet + Blockchain + Stablecoins form the core foundation for fast, efficient, and secure cross-border payments. To realize this vision, we are focused on three strategic pillars:

* Expanding our global footprint to navigate local regulations and cater to diverse regional needs.

* Deepening our integration with major crypto platforms to provide seamless fiat-to-crypto conversion services for a wider user base.

* Continuously developing innovative payment solutions that combine the speed and transparency of blockchain networks with the stability and trust of traditional financial institutions.”

Together, these pillars support the next generation of borderless finance.
