From next year onwards, USDC will be available on Near, Optimism, Arbitrum, Cosmos, and Polkadot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Circle Internet Financial, a global digital financial technology firm and the issuer of USD Coin (USDC) and Euro Coin (EUROC), announced the intent to make USDC available on five additional blockchain ecosystems, including &#8211; Arbitrum, Cosmos, NEAR, Optimism, and Polkadot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the end of 2022, USDC intends to be available natively on Arbitrum One, NEAR, Optimism, and Polkadot. USDC on Cosmos intends to go live in early 2023. &#8221; The announcement reiterated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In simple crypto terminology, stablecoins have been <a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stablecoin\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">described<\/a> as cryptocurrencies whose price is designed to be pegged to the reference asset. The reference asset can be fiat money like US dollars, exchange-traded commodities, or cryptocurrency itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>USDCs&#8217; expansion and availability on five additional blockchains intends to permit blockchain developers and users to experience greater liquidity and interoperability within the domain of cryptocurrency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As stated by Joao Reginatto, VP of Product at Circle, &#8220;The multi-chain expansion is intended to increase USDC\u2019s native availability from eight ecosystems to thirteen and enables blockchain developers building on USDC and their users to experience greater liquidity and interoperability within the crypto economy,&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to this, Reginnatto reiterated how multi-chain support for USDC could be the real game changer for the stablecoin&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Extending multi-chain support for USDC opens the door for institutions, exchanges, developers, and more to innovate and have easier access to a trusted and stable digital dollar.&#8221; Reginatto later shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the inclusion of five additional blockchains, USDC has ticked off another milestone in its wake by marking its availability on 13 additional blockchains. The stablecoin was already available on Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and Polygon.
