<h2> Web 3.0 Platform</h2>
Circle will be able to provide infrastructure as a service to organizations wishing to develop the Web 3.0 platform due to the acquisition. This frees developers' time to focus on their products rather than digital asset security, operations, or blockchain infrastructure administration. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire said in the statement,

"<em>Cybavo co-founders Paul Fan and Tim Hsu have built an awe-inspiring product," "They are unlocking value for developers and operators across nearly every major sector impacted by crypto and Web3."</em>

Cybavo, based in Taiwan, was formed in 2018 and raised $4 million in a seed round led by 500 Startups in August of that year. Circle will invest in Cybavo's research and development and support its products and services as part of the acquisition. In April, Circle <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/usdc-issuer-circle-raises-400m-from-blackrock-fidelity/">raised $400 million</a> in a funding round that included BlackRock and Fidelity Investments.
