World Chain has native USD-Munt (USDC) and Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer protocol V2 (CCTP V2) integrated, which marks a considerable partnership between the biometric identity blockchain and one of the largest regulated Stablecoin emissioners in the world.
The upgrade replaces bridged USDC with native issue on the world chain, while retaining the same smart contract address, so that existing users and developers can continue without changes.
The move is intended to improve liquidity, reduce the risks related to synthetic bridging and offer access to the full on and off-disaster infrastructure of Circle.
Circle’s CCTP V2, launched in addition to integration, enables users to send USDC on supported block chains within a few seconds. The protocol also contains support for hooks, automated functions that activate actions as soon as the funds arrive, to expand the programmability for developers.
World Chain, developed by Tools for Humanity and supported by Sam Altman, has emphasized digital identity through its World ID system, with more than 27 million people worldwide.
By combining identity authentication with native USDC, the network aims to support applications that require verified users, such as fraud-resistant payments, P2P transfers and access-oriented financial tools.
Apps such as Daimo Pay and Morpho have already started using these identity functions in combination with USDC for verified payments and transfers.
Circle Public Push
USDC, launched by Circle in 2018, has processed more than $ 25 trillion on chain transactions and currently has a circulating range of almost $ 60 billion. It is the second largest Stablecoin worldwide and is fully supported by dollar reserves.
The integration of the world chain follows on the public market debut of Circle on the New York Stock Exchange earlier this month. The shares of the company rose on the opening day and pushed its market rating above $ 20 billion.
The list is an important moment for the integration of stablecoins into regular financing, in particular because legislators work on formal frameworks for digital dollar assets.
Circle’s strategy has focused on replacing synthetic and bridged Stablecoin models through native issue in several chains, a shift that is now clear in his collaboration with the world chain.
The collaboration brings regulated dollar infrastructure to an identity -based blockchain, because both projects try to expand the financial services with stronger guarantees for trust, speed and compliance.
