Expanding stablecoin access on $XDC
$USDC operates with 1:1 capital efficiency and is used globally for payments, settlements, and liquidity provisioning.
With its integration on $XDC, network participants can leverage the stablecoin’s regulated infrastructure alongside the network’s delegated proof-of-stake architecture, which provides near-instant transaction finality and low gas fees.
The addition of CCTP V2 allows $USDC to move natively across 15 supported blockchains without relying on wrapped or bridged tokens.
Key use cases and ecosystem impact
$USDC on $XDC is expected to support a range of financial applications, including settling tokenized invoices and letters of credit in global trade finance, issuing and exchanging tokenized assets such as treasuries and private credit, and enabling low-cost, cross-border B2B transactions.
Day-one partners of the integration include Fireblocks and SBI $XDC Network APAC, as highlighted in the launch announcement. The $XDC ecosystem currently includes more than 175 apps, protocols, and participants, according to the $XDC Foundation.
$USDC currently has over $72.5 billion in circulation as of September 16, and with its addition, $XDC joins the list of 26 blockchains supporting the stablecoin natively.
