Stablecoin issuer Circle has announced the launch of native USDC support on Ethereum scaling protocol Polygon.
USDC is accessible to users and developers without bridging the stablecoin from Ethereum to another blockchain. Circle Mint and Circle’s developer application programming interfaces now support Polygon-based USDC, tapping into Polygon’s scaling capabilities.According to the announcement from Circle, businesses and developers will be able to build decentralized applications with USDC on Polygon.
Before Circle announced its native Polygon USDC offering, protocol users had to use bridged USDC from the Ethereum blockchain. The token is not issued by Circle, unlike the new offering, which will be redeemable at a 1:1 ratio for United States dollars.Circle had previously provided support of deposits and withdrawals for USDC.e on Polygon for Circle Mint and its APIs. The issuer plans to discontinue this service from Nov. 10, warning users who attempt to send USDC.
The new Polygon USDC token address reflects a current market capitalization of some 4.3 million USDC on the scaling protocol. Source: Polygonscan Circle also notes that the provision of native Polygon USDC will enable low-cost global payments and remittances, as well as accessibility to trading, borrowing and lending on leading decentralized finance protocols, including Aave, Compound, Curve, Uniswap and QuickSwap.
The USDC issuer also plans to launch a cross-chain transfer protocol to Polygon to enable interoperability with other blockchain networks. This is set to unlock Polygon-based USDC transfers to and from the Ethereum blockchain.Macro factors to spark next crypto bull market in Q2 2024, Real Vision’s Raoul Pal says
