Circle Internet Financial has announced its full support for Ethereum's transition from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake, known as The Merge, scheduled for September 15, 2022. Circle will ensure the stability of its USD Coin (USDC) and Euro Coin (EUROC) during this transition by conducting a brief maintenance period around the event, pausing deposits and withdrawals of Ethereum assets for approximately two hours both before and after The Merge. This precautionary measure aims to provide a seamless and secure experience for users, although issuance and redemption of USDC will continue on non-Ethereum chains. EUROC, being exclusively on Ethereum, will experience temporary disruptions during the maintenance window. Customers are assured that no action is required on their part, and they will receive notifications about the maintenance period via email and social media. Additionally, Circle advises vigilance against scams that may arise during this significant change in Ethereum's infrastructure.
