Circle Brings Native USDC Support to OKX's High-Performance Blockchain
Circle has launched native support for USDC and its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) on OKX's X Layer blockchain. This move introduces regulated stablecoin infrastructure to X Layer, potentially boosting adoption for payments, DeFi protocols, and cross-chain transactions.
USDC, Circle's dollar-pegged stablecoin, now enables dollar-denominated payments, lending, and borrowing on X Layer. The integration also brings institutional-grade on/offramps via Circle Mint, deepening USDC's presence in OKX's trading ecosystem, which boasts over 120 million global users.
The native integration aligns X Layer with other major blockchain networks where USDC is natively supported. As of May 2026, Circle reported USDC's presence on 34 blockchains, making X Layer a late but significant addition.
