Elliptic, a blockchain analytics and compliance firm, has unveiled that an operational affiliate of Circle, a fintech and issuer of the US dollar-pegged stablecoin USDC, has joined its Agentic Design Partner Program.
The move follows an investment from Circle’s corporate venture arm, Circle Ventures, and is said to build on a longstanding partnership between the two firms.
Elliptic’s Agentic Design Partner Program intends to combine infrastructure providers, compliance teams, and technology leaders to shape compliance solutions for AI-driven financial activity.
According to Elliptic, to address the compliance challenges arising from tokenised assets and AI-powered applications, it is utilising its agentic compliance layer through the combination of unique datasets, a scalable query platform, and agents capable of detecting and processing alerts at the same speed as AI.
The layer aims to aid institutions in maintaining auditable, compliance-ready oversight as the prevalence of autonomous systems participating in financial activity increases, the firm says.
Additionally, Elliptic believes that AI in regulated industries “cannot be designed in isolation” and needs to be built “continuously with the compliance teams who operate it” and that the transaction patterns, behavioural signs, and failure modes of autonomous agents have “no equivalent in human-paced finance”.
Commenting on the initiative, Brian Schultz, vice president of corporate development and ventures at Circle, says: “We’re excited to support Elliptic as they develop infrastructure designed to help enterprises navigate these emerging challenges and build more confidently in an increasingly autonomous onchain economy.”
Simone Maini, CEO at Elliptic, adds: “Circle’s participation in our Agentic Design Partner Program and Circle Ventures’ investment reinforce the importance of building agentic compliance infrastructure from within the systems and workflows these applications will rely on.”
