Circle Brings Native USDC to OKX's X Layer Blockchain

Circle has expanded its presence on OKX's X Layer blockchain by launching native USDC and its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP). This move allows developers, businesses, and applications to use Circle-issued USDC without relying on bridged versions.

The integration supports decentralized finance applications, payments, trading platforms, and other blockchain-based financial services. It also gives qualified businesses access to USDC issuance and redemption through Circle Mint.

X Layer is an Ethereum-compatible layer-2 network that targets use cases across decentralized finance, payments, real-world asset tokenization, and artificial intelligence applications. Native USDC can support payment and financial applications within the network, including payment service providers, fintech companies, and AI agents.
