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. Circle further outlined its future plans to bring the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) to Arbitrum, following the launch of native USDC. 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.

Over the years, Circle has launched the native USDC on multiple networks including Ethereum, Avalanche, TRON, Algorand, Solana, Flow, Hedera and Stellar. As things currently stand, USDC’s price has maintained its stable peg, with its value staying consistent with the US Dollar. The official launch of native USDC on Arbitrum is slated to happen on June 8.
