Summary

USDC, the world's largest regulated dollar stablecoin, is now natively available on the Aptos blockchain, removing the need for bridging and enhancing accessibility for developers and users. This integration is facilitated by Circle Mint and its APIs, which offer seamless access to USDC liquidity on Aptos's fast and secure network. Aptos, a Move-based layer-1 blockchain, provides a robust infrastructure for developing Web3 applications, including DeFi, payments, and gaming, and has seen its ecosystem grow significantly with over 200 applications by early 2025. The introduction of native USDC on Aptos allows developers to build applications with trusted digital dollars, supporting a wide range of use cases from global commerce to cross-border payments. The migration from bridged USDC to native USDC is encouraged to improve security and ease of use, with support from interoperability providers like Wormhole. Additionally, USDC on Aptos will soon be supported on Coinbase, further expanding its reach and utility.
