Analysis

USDC keeps expanding its footprint as X Layer replaces USDC_Bridged with native USDC issued by regulated Circle affiliates. Fully reserved and 1:1 redeemable, the token is CCTP-ready and MiCA-compliant, supported from day one by Uniswap for deeper stablecoin liquidity, continuing the history of native vs bridged USDC deployments on layer-2 chains and highlighting Circle CCTP adoption and MiCA compliance impact on new blockchains.
