Circle Expands Hyperliquid’s Onchain Finance with Native USDC and CCTP V2 Integration

Hyperliquid's ecosystem is set for a major upgrade as Circle integrates native USDC and Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) V2. This enhancement boosts Hyperliquid's dual-layer architecture—HyperCore for its order book DEX and HyperEVM for smart contracts—by introducing a regulated, fully reserved digital dollar directly onchain.

The deployment of native USDC on HyperEVM enables seamless interaction for users and developers, allowing direct deposits into HyperCore for trading or stable settlement in HyperEVM-based applications. Circle Mint clients benefit from 1:1 dollar redemption, while institutional on/offramps ensure regulatory compliance.

CCTP V2 facilitates cross-chain liquidity flows, enabling capital-efficient USDC transfers between Hyperliquid and supported blockchains. Developers can now create cross-chain experiences for onboarding, treasury operations, and multi-chain swaps, reinforcing USDC's role as a foundational asset in decentralized finance.
