Circle Brings Native USDC and Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol to EDGE Chain
馃敆 USDC goes native
Circle is integrating native USDC and its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) into EDGE Chain, marking a significant infrastructure expansion for the blockchain ecosystem.
Key developments:
- Native USDC will enable direct settlement and collateral use on EDGE Chain
- CCTP will allow seamless USDC transfers across supported blockchains without wrapped tokens
- Circle Ventures has made a strategic investment in edgeX, the team behind EDGE Chain
- The integration eliminates reliance on bridged or wrapped assets
What this means:
The move brings regulated stablecoin infrastructure to EDGE's ecosystem, including the edgeX exchange. Users will be able to move USDC across chains more securely while maintaining the token's native properties. Circle's investment signals confidence in EDGE Chain as a high-performance environment for USDC-based applications.
The integration opens new possibilities for on-chain financial applications built on EDGE's infrastructure.
