Circle Stops USDC Minting on Noble Blockchain by October 2026
Circle announced it will stop minting new USDC tokens on the Noble blockchain starting October 13, 2026. This decision is part of Circle's transition to a newer cross-chain protocol, CCTP V2, which offers faster and more secure transfers but will not support Noble.
Users have until January 12, 2027, to move or redeem their USDC on Noble. The options include exchanges, DEX swaps, or burning tokens to other chains. After the pause, Circle will open a manual redemption portal for compliant wallets starting January 13, 2027.
