According to official news from Odaily Planet Daily, Stellar announced that the Circle cross-chain transfer protocol CCTP V 2 will be launched soon. This upgrade will enhance the transfer function of USDC in the Stellar ecosystem. Currently, the Stellar ecosystem already supports natively issued USDC.
Odaily Planet Daily reported that according to an official announcement, the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken announced a partnership with Circle to accelerate the global access of USDC and EURC, expanding its access to the stablecoin infrastructure suite.
Circle has announced an investment in the HYPE token and is considering becoming a validator. Circle is also exploring opportunities to participate in the HyperEVM and HIP-3 incentive programs. (Zoomer)
Odaily Planet Daily reported that according to on-chain analyst MLM, Circle has just transferred 2 million USDC from Arbitrum to HyperEVM across the chain.
Odaily Planet Daily reported that according to Caixin.com, at the "Asia Vision Forum 2025" held in Singapore, David A. Katz, vice president of strategy and public policy for the Asia-Pacific region of Circle, which issues the stablecoin USDC, said that cross-border business is an important application scenario for stablecoins, so issuing RMB stablecoins will help promote the internationalization of the RMB.
Katz emphasized that digital asset issuance must meet two core requirements: first, ensuring network security to prevent hacker attacks; second, digital assets must be one-to-one anchored to real, high-quality, and highly liquid assets and be held in custody by appropriate institutions. Notably, he revealed that approximately 90% of USDC's anchored reserves are held in custody by BlackRock.
