USDC Stablecoin s-ar putea lansa pe alte 10 blockchain-uri, inclusiv Polkadot, Tezos, Tron

Leading U.S.-dollar stablecoin USDC could soon expand to 10 more blockchains.

USDC Going Multi-Chain

USDC, the USD-pegged stablecoin issued jointly by crypto exchange Coinbase and payments firm Circle via the consortium CENTRE is mulling expansion to 8-10 more blockchains, Coindesk Rapoarte.

It is worthy of note that USDC is currently already functional on 4 blockchains — namely Ethereum (ETH), Algorand (ALGO), Stellar (XLM), and Solana (SOL). With regard to expansion to new blockchains, a draft announcement from USDC administrator CENTRE reads:

„Anticipăm că în următoarele luni USDC va deveni disponibil pe Avalanche, Celo, Flow, Hedera, Kava, Nervos, Polkadot, Stacks, Tezos și Tron.”

Adăugarea:

„Apreciem că USDC pe aceste platforme blockchain și protocoale multichain va accelera și mai mult utilizarea monedei dolar digitale cu cea mai rapidă creștere din lume.”

Recently, the second largest stablecoin by market cap USDC lovit a market cap of a whopping $25 billion, facilitating transactions worth more than $700 billion. In fact, USDC was the fastest-growing dollar digital currency over the past year, growing from less than $950 million a year ago to over $25 billion in circulation today.

Indeed, USDC has witnessed upward traction in terms of adoption as the stablecoin economy continues to balloon at a rapid pace.

As raportate by BTCManager on April 2, global payments processor Visa announced plans to add support for USDC stablecoin and use it to settle transactions via the Ethereum network.

At the time, Cuy Sheffield, Visa’s head of crypto, said:

“We see increasing demand from consumers across the world to be able to access, hold and use digital currencies and we’re seeing demand from our clients to be able to build products  that provide that access for consumers.”

Inching Closer to USDT Market Cap

While USDC is growing at a staggering rate, it still trails Tether (USDT) by a considerable margin in terms of market cap.

In aprilie, BTCManager raportate that USDT’s market cap had shot past $50 billion. In the same vein, USDT’s on-chain volume atins the $1 trillion mark for the first time ever on May 6.

Only time will tell whether USDC eventually flips USDT in terms of stablecoin market share or the latter continues to reign supreme.
