USDC News -

Circle has launched its USDC stablecoin and Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) directly on Starknet's zero-knowledge rollup. This MOVE enables institutional-grade settlement for DeFi, gaming, and payment applications. The integration represents the first native issuance of USDC on Starknet, moving away from bridged asset models to provide direct, high-quality liquidity.

CCTP facilitates atomic cross-chain transfers, eliminating liquidity fragmentation across major networks like Ethereum and Arbitrum. This provides developers with capital-efficient infrastructure for perpetuals trading and 24/7 settlement on DEXs—a strategic play as Starknet competes for Layer 2 dominance against rivals like Arbitrum and Optimism.

The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
