USDC expands reach with native launch on XDC Network
USDC continues to strengthen its position as the leading regulated stablecoin with a native launch on XDC Network.
- USDC is now live on XDC Network, enabling secure, bridge-free transfers backed 1:1 by Circle.
- Circle’s CCTP V2 powers cross-chain interoperability with a “burn and mint” mechanism.
USDC goes live on XDC Network
XDC Network ( XDC ) announced today that USD Coin ( USDC ), the stablecoin issued by Circle, is launching on its network. With this native launch, USDC on XDC is not a copy or derivative — it’s the same regulated, 1:1 redeemable digital dollar used on Ethereum ( ETH ) and Solana ( SOL ). This means users can hold and transfer real USDC on XDC with full backing from Circle, without relying on bridges or wrapped tokens , which makes transfers more secure, faster, and easier to integrate into apps.
Powering this integration is Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol V2 (CCTP V2). Rather than wrapping tokens, CCTP uses a “burn and mint” mechanism. When a user transfers USD Coin from one chain to another, the tokens are burned on the source chain, verified by Circle’s attestation system, and freshly minted on the destination—in this case, XDC.
USDC cross-chain presence
The addition of XDC further expands USDC’s cross-chain presence, reinforcing its role as the most widely adopted regulated stablecoin across multiple ecosystems. USDC is already natively available on 24 networks —including Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Avalanche, Base, Arbitrum, Stellar, and Polkadot.
The integration of USDC on XDC Network follows another milestone for the stablecoin. Earlier this month, Circle launched Gateway , enabling instant USDC transfers across seven major blockchains, namely Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Ethereum, OP Mainnet, Polygon PoS, and Unichain.

60% of stocks have fallen into a bear market, the seven tech giants are holding up the S&P alone! BTIG: US stocks may be just a "gentle push" away from collapsing
The S&P 500 is just one step away from its all-time high, but under the surface, turbulence is brewing: 60% of its components have already entered a technical bear market, and only 30% have outperformed the index, the lowest since 1991. All of this is being supported solely by the seven major tech giants—which is, in fact, the biggest risk. With crowded positions and the semiconductor sector mirroring the path of the 2000 bubble burst, an accelerated decline could be triggered during the upcoming earnings season at the end of the month. When the market is standing on just one final leg, it doesn't take much force to topple it.
