Aptos Activates Circle's CCTP V2, Enables Instant USDC Transfers

Aptos has activated Circle's CCTP V2, allowing for instant USDC transfers on its blockchain. This upgrade reduces inbound USDC arrival times from minutes to seconds, eliminating the need for intermediaries that previously split liquidity across chains.

The deployment of CCTP V2 strengthens cross-chain USDC transfers on Aptos' development stack. It also enables native tokens without wrapped versions or fragmented pools.

Avery Ching, Co-founder & CEO at Aptos, is building a layer 1 for everyone. He previously held tech lead positions at Meta/Novi and Diem blockchain.
