Across Protocol has launched support for crosschain USDC transfers, enabling bridgers and developers to move USDC between chains. **Key Features:** - Native USDC bridging using Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) - Seamless integration for builders developing crosschain applications - Part of Across's expanded "bridge everything" functionality **Technical Details:** The solution leverages CCTP v2 to facilitate secure USDC transfers across supported chains. This builds on Across's recent upgrade that introduced any-token-to-any-token bridging in single transactions. For implementation details and technical documentation, visit: [Across USDC Bridge Guide](https://across.to/blog/usdc-bridge-cctp-v2) **For Developers:** The integration provides builders with tools to incorporate native USDC transfers into their crosschain applications without managing multiple bridge protocols.
