Circle’s CCTP V2 Launch on Stellar Supercharges USDC Cross-Chain Liquidity

USDC News - Circle has deployed Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol Version 2 (CCTP V2) on the stellar network, enabling direct USDC transfers between Stellar and 15 additional blockchains. This eliminates the need for wrapped tokens or third-party bridges, significantly enhancing interoperability while boosting security and capital efficiency. The protocol ensures native USDC burns and mints across chains, avoiding custodial and technical risks associated with traditional bridges. Transfers now complete within seconds, delivering real-time settlements between Stellar and major chains including Ethereum, Solana, and Base. CCTP V2's integration with Stellar represents a major leap toward seamless cross-chain liquidity. The upgrade supports dynamic asset movement, solidifying USDC's position as a foundational pillar of multichain finance infrastructure.
