PANews reported on May 13 that Circle officially tweeted that native USDC has been launched on the Sonic blockchain, replacing the original cross-chain bridge version, and users do not need to operate manually. This upgrade introduces CCTP V2, which enables nearly instant cross-chain transfers of USDC and supports automatic execution of operations. Institutional users can mint or redeem USDC directly at a 1:1 exchange rate through Circle Mint. The first batch of supporters include Aave, Binance and RedotPay. USDC now natively supports 20 blockchains.
