Circle’s Gateway Unlocks Seamless Cross-Chain USDC Liquidity

USDC News - Circle has launched Gateway, a unified cross-chain infrastructure solution designed to streamline USDC liquidity management across multiple blockchain networks. The platform specifically targets payment providers, exchanges, and DeFi platforms that currently grapple with fragmented liquidity pools and complex rebalancing operations. Gateway integrates smart contract technology with an off-chain attestation service, creating a single USDC balance accessible across Ethereum, Base, Solana, and other supported networks. This non-custodial system maintains full user control while enabling instant fund availability across chains—addressing a critical operational challenge in cross-chain finance. The infrastructure incorporates robust fail-safe mechanisms, including trustless withdrawals that activate after seven days in case of API disruptions. This development is poised to significantly reduce operational overhead for institutional crypto participants as Circle plans to expand support to additional chains, including its native Arc network.
