Circle Internet Financial has announced the native availability of USD Coin (USDC) on the Polygon Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain, promising developers and users seamless access to USDC without the need for bridging. This integration allows businesses to leverage Polygon's scalable network for fast, cost-efficient transactions, supporting a variety of applications such as payments, remittances, trading, and lending. With over 475 decentralized applications and 300,000 active wallet addresses, Polygon PoS offers a robust ecosystem that complements Ethereum's security. Circle emphasizes the distinction between native USDC, issued directly by Circle and redeemable 1:1 for US dollars, and the bridged USDC.e from Ethereum, which will no longer be supported for deposits and withdrawals on Circle Mint after November 10th. This move enhances the stability and trustworthiness of USDC transactions on Polygon PoS, aligning with Circle's mission to improve global economic accessibility and efficiency.
