Circle Launches Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) Mainnet Enabling Transfer of USDC Between Ethereum and Avalanche

Cointime Official

April 27 (Cointime) - Circle, a global digital financial technology firm and the issuer of USDC and Euro Coin, announced the launch of the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) mainnet, which allows developers to easily move the USDC stablecoin between Ethereum and Avalanche.  

According to the announcement, by incorporating Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), applications can facilitate the native "burn and mint" of USDC, allowing for the seamless transfer of USDC between blockchains. This process effectively enables USDC to "teleport" across different networks without the complexities and risks associated with conventional "lock and mint" methods. With CCTP, users can securely and efficiently transact with USDC in a multi-chain ecosystem, thereby enhancing capital efficiency and security.

Circle’s Product VP, Joao Reginatto, said in a blog post:

“Developers can now build applications with seamless support for different native versions of USDC, allowing businesses to target end-users in different blockchain ecosystems.”

Circle says more than ten apps have reportedly adopted CCTP to date, including: Celer, Hyperlane, LayerZero, LI.FI, MetaMask, Multichain, Rarimo, Router, Socket, Wanchain, and Wormhole.

  • Iranian Parliament Speaker Mocks: U.S. Economic Pressure on Iran Will Backfire

    Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf shared an image on social media platform X, outlining the economic pressures against Iran and the impact of changes in the energy market on the U.S. economy. Referring to recent measures taken by Trump to control U.S. commodity prices, he wrote: 'Importing frozen meat to control meat prices? Well, maybe effective. But what is the U.S. plan for national debt? Want to import “frozen yields”? For the housing market, are you going to introduce “frozen buyers”? To address wage issues, are you going to issue “frozen payrolls”? A rigid and uninnovative foreign policy will lead to a frozen and stagnant economy. What is the only thing still functioning? It is the boomerang of imposing “devastating economic pressure” on Iran, which will ultimately come back to the U.S. itself.' (Jinshi)

  • Fed's Kashkari: U.S. Treasury Market is Operating Normally

    On August 23, Federal Reserve's Kashkari downplayed market concerns over rising U.S. Treasury yields, stating that the market is functioning well and that the recent surge is unlikely to impact discussions on monetary policy. Kashkari said on Sunday, "All signs indicate that the U.S. Treasury market is operating normally, trading is proceeding smoothly, and market liquidity is ample, so we can use the federal funds rate as the primary tool to reduce inflation." Last week, yields on U.S. Treasuries across various maturities rose, with the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield closing around 4.73%. The 30-year Treasury yield remained near its highest level since 2007. Kashkari noted that while current Treasury yields are relatively high compared to recent historical levels, they are much lower than those in the 1990s. "We need more data, but I don't want to prejudge the outcome of the next meeting," he said, "However, I do not currently believe that inflation will fall back to target levels in the short term."
