Circle Expands USDC Reach with Native Hyperliquid Integration and Strategic Investment

USDC News - Circle has taken a decisive step in its stablecoin strategy by launching native USDC support on Hyperliquid's ecosystem. The integration includes Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) V2 interoperability via HyperEVM, granting traders and developers access to the world's most liquid regulated dollar stablecoin within Hyperliquid's infrastructure. This move underscores Circle's commitment to bridging traditional finance with decentralized systems. The partnership extends beyond technical integration—Circle has acquired HYPE tokens, becoming a direct stakeholder in Hyperliquid. The firm also announced plans to participate as a validator, signaling long-term alignment with the platform's governance. Upcoming features include direct deposit functionality and CCTP accessibility on HyperCore within weeks, enabling seamless digital dollar flows across Hyperliquid applications.
