Circle Brings Native USDC to OKX's X Layer
Circle has launched native USDC and its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol on OKX's X Layer, giving developers and businesses direct access to the regulated stablecoin across payments, DeFi, and automated applications.
The integration removes the need for bridged tokens, allowing users to move native USDC between supported networks through a burn-and-mint process. This eliminates the use of wrapped assets or third-party liquidity pools.
Native USDC is now available on 36 networks, while CCTP connects 26 blockchains. Qualified businesses can issue and redeem USDC through Circle Mint on X Layer, subject to eligibility requirements.
