Circle has launched native USDC and its upgraded Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP V2) on World Chain.
This marks a major upgrade for the network’s 27 million global users across more than 160 countries. What sets this apart? World Chain isn’t just any blockchain—and this isn’t just another stablecoin integration.
Previously, users on World held bridged USDC in their World App wallets. That version, while useful, lacked the regulatory clarity and asset backing of true native USDC. With this update, Circle has fully replaced bridged tokens with native USDC, issued and backed directly by Circle.
Seamless Conversion, Real Digital Dollar
Users didn’t need to take any action. All existing bridged USDC was automatically upgraded to native USDC. Now, every dollar is fully backed by cash or cash-equivalent reserves—delivering a regulated, trusted stablecoin experience across the network.
From sending cross-border payments in cities like Buenos Aires and Busan to running financial Mini Apps, users now get faster, safer, and cheaper access to a digital dollar. No more predatory remittance fees. No manual bridging. Just stable, direct transfers.
Faster, Cheaper Transfers With CCTP V2
Alongside native USDC, Circle also rolled out CCTP V2. This next-gen protocol allows USDC to move quickly and affordably across supported blockchains. For developers, that means better composability and easier integration into decentralized finance apps.
Businesses gain reliable, regulated access via Circle Mint, while developers can embed USDC directly into World App Mini Apps. With this foundation, World Chain becomes more than a blockchain—it becomes a gateway to decentralized finance for millions.
Looking Ahead: More Utility on the Way
Circle’s move unlocks major utility for users and developers. It also lays the groundwork for even broader adoption, with plans to bring EURC, Circle’s euro-backed stablecoin, to World Chain in the future.
With the largest regulated stablecoin now natively integrated and supported by a global user base, World Chain is positioned to become a serious force in global payments and blockchain utility.
