Layer 1 blockchain Aptos (APT) now supports the stablecoin USD Coin (USDC) natively.
On the 30th (local time), Circle, the issuer of USDC, announced on X (formerly Twitter) that "Native USDC is now available on Aptos," and "It is expected that USDC will be supported in major ecosystems and apps of Aptos."
With the Aptos network supporting USDC, users can access USDC liquidity more quickly and securely without the need for a separate token exchange bridge. This is expected to have a positive impact on the increase of decentralized finance (DeFi) TVL and users within the Aptos ecosystem.
