World Chain Integrates Native USDC and Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol
World Chain, part of the World Network backed by Sam Altman, now supports natively minted USDC from Circle. The integration with Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP V2) allows users to transfer USDC across multiple blockchains.
- 2 million World Network users transitioned from bridged USDC to native USDC directly issued by Circle.
- Businesses can utilize Circle Mint for direct fiat-to-USDC conversions on the layer-2 blockchain, facilitating global on/off-ramps and cross-chain swaps without third-party bridges.
- The stablecoin sector continues to expand with increasing mainstream applications.
- World Network is enhancing its ecosystem with various services, including bank-like features in collaboration with Visa.
- The new cross-chain capabilities enable easier fund movement and enhance decentralized finance (DeFi) composability.
