CyberScope, the Web3 security unit of India-listed TAC InfoSec Ltd., said it has been approved under a Circle partner program tied to the USDC ecosystem. It is likely to raise its profile with institutions building stablecoin-based products as U.S. oversight of digital-dollar infrastructure tightens.
The company said the approval followed a multi-stage review process focused on governance, compliance alignment and operating maturity. Circle’s Alliance Program is a network for firms that either support USDC/EURC or provide services to the stablecoin ecosystem, with a member directory used by customers looking for vendors.
The development comes as Circle pushes further into regulated financial infrastructure. In June 2025, Circle applied for a U.S. national trust bank charter after its public listing, part of a broader strategy to deepen its compliance and custody footprint as federal stablecoin rules move forward.
Circle claims USDC is fully backed by highly liquid cash and cash-equivalent assets and redeemable 1:1 for U.S. dollars, with most reserves invested in the Circle Reserve Fund and portfolio reporting available through BlackRock. Circle also notes USDC is issued through regulated affiliates.
The Circle-related approval for CyberScope adds to a run of ecosystem partnerships and listings disclosed in its U.S. registration filings. In a January Form F-1/A filing, CyberScope said it had been listed as an audit provider in the Solana and Polygon ecosystems and named as an audit partner for BNB Chain, while also securing recognition for CoinMarketCap audit badges.
CyberScope is majority-owned by TAC InfoSec (60%), with the remaining 40% held by KYE9 Artificial Intelligence Research LLC, which is controlled by TAC founder and CEO Trishneet Arora, according to the SEC filing. The same filing outlines CyberScope’s board and management, including Arora as chairman and Saransh Rawat as president and director.
The company has also been preparing for a proposed Nasdaq listing. CyberScope’s filing details board committee structures and notes it expects to qualify as a “controlled company” under Nasdaq rules after the offering because of concentrated ownership tied to TAC and KYE9.
CyberScope is a Web3 security provider with more than 2,700 smart contract audits and over $2 billion “secured,”. Its board includes Arora and Rawat alongside independent directors.
TAC Security, meanwhile, has framed CyberScope as part of its broader global expansion and public-market strategy. In a January shareholder letter, TAC said CyberScope was acquired in 2025 and highlighted IPO-readiness workstreams, governance controls and reporting discipline aligned with U.S. listing expectations..
While CyberScope’s announcement emphasizes stablecoin infrastructure, similar positioning moves have been visible across the Circle ecosystem. Security firms including Trail of Bits, Verichains and Cyfrin have separately disclosed joining the Circle Alliance Program over the past year, underscoring how audit and assurance providers are trying to attach themselves to institutional stablecoin growth.
Results from those security-partner tie-ups are typically disclosed in strategic rather than financial terms. More operational examples have come from Circle partners in payments: payroll platform Rise said its USDC integration helped it offer near-instant settlement, lower payment costs and wider global reach.
That distinction matters as stablecoins move from crypto trading rails toward mainstream financial use. Circle sees the sector shifting into a “mainstream” phase, with regulation expected to make institutions and retailers more comfortable using stablecoin infrastructure.
