With this integration complete, users can now seamlessly transfer USDC between Aptos and 9 other major blockchains—including Arbitrum, Base, Ethereum, and Solana. Learn more about USDC on Aptos.

  • Native USDC, issued by Circle, and Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) are live on the Aptos network. 

  • This integration enables seamless cross-chain transactions for onboarding, swapping, treasury rebalancing, and beyond—all with 1:1 capital efficiency.

  • DeFi use cases on Aptos continue to flourish—enhancing Web3 interoperability and advancing the global financial ecosystem.

Enabling Secure Digital Dollar Transactions

USDC, issued by Circle, is the largest regulated, dollar-backed stablecoin. With USDC on Aptos, users and developers can enjoy greater security and accessibility. 

What’s more, bridged USDC is among the most prevalent stablecoins currently available on the network with more than $120M in circulation on Aptos. Bridge providers such as Stargate, built on LayerZero, will provide a smooth transition from the existing bridged USDC on Aptos to native USDC over time.

Users will be able to seamlessly transfer USDC between Aptos and 9 other major blockchains–including Arbitrum, Base, Ethereum and Solana–thanks to CCTP. This cross-chain protocol opens the door to over 90 different pathways for transactions and enables Aptos users to participate in a truly interoperable DeFi ecosystem. With CCTP, Aptos will support seamless cross-chain transactions for onboarding, swapping, treasury rebalancing, and beyond—all with 1:1 capital efficiency. By maintaining a user-friendly experience and facilitating frictionless asset transfers, CCTP will empower both developers and users with new opportunities for DeFi.

Developers can follow Circle’s step-by-step migration guide for migrating bridged USDC to native USDC in their apps.

Bridging Fiat and Aptos-Native USDC

In addition to USDC and CCTP, Coinbase and Stripe will soon launch their payment services on Aptos—creating a reliable fiat on-ramp to streamline merchant pay-ins and payouts using Aptos-compatible wallets. Doing so will allow users to seamlessly convert fiat currencies into USDC, while businesses can leverage stablecoins using Aptos-native USDC infrastructure. 

With these reliable payment services on Aptos, global merchants and payment providers can process transactions faster, more securely and at lower costs.

Acceleration of High-Speed Payment Rails on Aptos

With the integration of USDC and CCTP—plus Coinbase and Stripe coming aboard soon— Aptos solidifies its place as a leader in interoperable DeFi and enterprise-grade blockchain technology. The integrations further expand the global financial ecosystem, while bridging the gap between traditional finance and blockchain.
