World Chain Integrates Circle’s USDC and CCTP V2 for Enhanced Cross-Chain Transfers

Circle’s stablecoin USDC and its upgraded Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP V2) will be integrated into Sam Altman’s World project, enabling nearly two million verified users to convert bridged USDC into native stablecoins at a 1:1 ratio with U.S. dollars and other cash-equivalent assets. The integration will facilitate faster and more cost-effective cross-chain transfers, allowing users to send remittances without incurring high fees. Additionally, eligible businesses on the World Chain will gain access to institutional on/off ramps via Circle Mint, and developers will be able to integrate USDC directly into World App Mini Apps. The project also plans to roll out Circle’s MiCA compliant EUR-pegged stablecoin, EURC, in the near future. This move follows World Chain’s recent expansion into several major U.S. cities and addresses previous privacy concerns linked to the project’s iris-scanning verification system. Although the exact integration date is not provided, the development is expected to significantly enhance network utility and user experience on the World Chain.
