Circle’s Future Plans On Arbitrum
The introduction of native USDC on Arbitrum is set to revolutionize the Layer 2 ecosystem by improving liquidity and enabling faster, seamless cross-chain transfers.

Once integrated into the Arbitrum Bridge, this protocol will allow the stablecoin to move natively to-and-from Ethereum and other supported chains within minutes, eliminating the frustrating withdrawal delays that have plagued many users.
