Removing the buy/sell ability does not mean they stopped being a wallet.

The article at https://support.circle.com/hc/en-us/articles/217972003 seems to claim that Circle will hold bitcoin for existing users in an insured account and allow them to send and receive bitcoin until that account is converted to local currency at which point the users can no longer return to bitcoin.

However, I can find no way to send or receive bitcoin with a new account. Can anyone provide any information to the contrary?

If there is no way to use bitcoin in new accounts, I will submit a PR in a few days to remove Circle from the wallet listings if no one else does first.

We should remove them! They've given up on bitcoin, so they don't deserve to be on bitcoin.org.

They should be removed. It appears that new accounts will not be able to use Bitcoin. They are only keeping Bitcoin for current users who use Bitcoin on their platform. Once those users switch to another currency, they cannot switch back to Bitcoin. New accounts can't set Bitcoin as the currency either.
