On February 10, KB Securities forecast explosive overseas sales for Hecto Financial through Circle’s Circle Payments Network (CPN) leveraging USDC. The firm attributed this to growth in streamlined cash payments and expanding overseas merchant partnerships that would drive global revenue. They also noted that 2026 could represent a year of meaningful re-rating for the company.
KB Securities highlighted that Hecto Financial has become the first domestic company to be officially listed as Circle’s USDC issuer and CPN partner, signaling technical interoperability and real-world settlement stability. The bank’s discussion underscored that joining the network early helps build market leadership by accelerating cross-border transactions and expanding enterprise customers, leveraging the network effects as the platform matures. A Hecto Financial representative stated that aligning with Circle strengthens trust and could enable further client expansion, given the global standard status of stablecoins and the track record already established overseas. With this foundation, the company aims to accelerate transaction volumes and sustain a virtuous cycle of growth as more clients adopt USDC-based payments.
