Circle Internet Financial has announced a phased discontinuation of support for USDC on the TRON blockchain, effective immediately, by ceasing the minting of USDC on TRON, with full support for transfers to other blockchains available to Circle Mint customers until February 2025. Retail users and non-Circle customers are advised to transfer their USDC on TRON through exchanges or other services to blockchains where USDC is supported or redeem it for fiat currency. This decision is part of Circle's risk management framework aimed at maintaining USDC's reputation as a trusted and transparent digital dollar, and despite the discontinuation on TRON, Circle remains committed to expanding USDC's presence on additional blockchains to ensure broad access and a secure user experience.
