This development allows developers to harness the NEAR blockchain’s speed and scalability to create fast and user-friendly applications using USDC, with support for popular programming languages like JavaScript and Rust.

The integration of USDC on NEAR offers a wide range of use cases, including low-cost global payments and remittances, 24/7 trading, lending, and the ability for users to store their savings in digital dollars without relying on traditional banking institutions.

Circle has been actively expanding its partnerships and integrations. In late August, the company collaborated with Mercado Libre to introduce the USD Coin stablecoin to Mercado Pago, a move aimed at facilitating digital payments within Latin America.

Furthermore, Circle has also rolled out a native version of USDC on Coinbase’s Layer 2 Base network, gradually replacing the existing bridged version from Ethereum. This new iteration will be known as USDC, while the bridged version will be labeled USDbC.

Notably, Circle’s Native USDC is now accessible on Noble, allowing developers and users to interact with these assets via the Noble Account and Noble APIs. It can be exchanged through the Inter-Blockchain Community (IBC) Protocol, enhancing the ability to trade digital assets across different Cosmos appchains.

Circle’s plans for the coming months include launching USDC on various blockchains, with an additional launch on Polygon PoS scheduled for October. This expansion aims to provide users with greater flexibility and accessibility for their digital assets.
