Circle published its first named grant recipients of 2026 on its own blog. The list includes "DAPL - Digital Asset Platform", the platform Arrel builds for African financial institutions.
DAPL connects custodians, trading venues, stablecoin rails and compliance tools through one API, and runs inside each institution's own licence. Circle's grant programme supports teams building on its stablecoin infrastructure.
Circle's announcement does not state an amount for individual recipients, so none is given here. This is a grant, not an investment.
