Circle Axes Noble Blockchain Support for USDC

Circle is ending its support for minting and storing USDC on the Noble blockchain. The company has announced that new minting will cease by October 13, 2026, and full support for the Noble blockchain's USDC contract and Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol V1 (CCTP V1) routes will stop by January 12, 2027.

This change affects users who have USDC stored on the Noble blockchain, as they must move their balances off the platform before these dates. After January 12, manual redemptions will be available for remaining balances, but no automatic conversions will occur.

Circle is transitioning to CCTP V2, which offers faster and more secure cross-chain transfers. However, this new protocol excludes the Noble blockchain.
