Circle Launches Circle Gateway, a New Infrastructure to Unify USDC Balances Across Chains

Odaily News According to official news, Circle has released the Circle Gateway testnet, which supports Avalanche, Base and Ethereum mainnets, providing users with the ability to access USDC across chains in seconds.

2. Efficient liquidity management: meet multi-chain liquidity needs through a single integration and reduce capital occupation;
3. Non-custodial design: Users have full control over USDC, funds can only be moved under signature authorization, and withdrawals do not require trusting a third party.
