Case Study: Shiftly achieves faster, lower-risk Bitcoin arbitrage with Circle

How Shiftly uses Circle APIs to manage Bitcoin arbitrage in South Africa

Shiftly uses Circle to help customers take advantage of Bitcoin price differences across markets without the hassle of managing accounts in multiple geographies. The company needed a way to automate cross-border digital asset purchases while reducing the complexity, volatility, and slippage risks associated with moving Bitcoin between exchanges.

Using Circle’s Payment API, Circle Account, and USDC, Shiftly accepts South African Rand bank wires that settle directly into USDC, then transacts in blockchain-native stablecoins to simplify operations for users. With Circle, Shiftly can move funds quickly between exchanges, improve trade speed and reliability, and deliver a faster, lower-risk arbitrage experience with stronger margins.
