Circle to launch gateway for unified USDC access across blockchains

Circle is introducing a new cross-chain system to simplify how USDC moves across different blockchains. 

According to a July 1 press release, USD Coin (USDC) stablecoin issuer Circle is preparing to roll out Gateway, a new infrastructure layer that enables instant cross-chain USDC liquidity without the need for traditional bridging. 

The system aims to address the fragmentation of liquidity and user experience issues caused by isolated blockchain networks.

In the current setup, users holding USDC on one network cannot access it on another without bridging. This creates friction for individuals and operational inefficiencies for businesses that have to pre-fund and manage balances across multiple chains.

To tackle this, Gateway introduces a non-custodial smart contract that allows users to deposit USDC into a unified balance. That balance can then be accessed in real time across supported networks, without manual asset transfers or network switching.

For businesses, Gateway reduces the need to maintain USDC balances across multiple chains by enabling on-demand liquidity on supported chains, which may improve capital efficiency and reduce operational costs.

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire described the system as “totally seamless crosschain UX for USDC,” adding that the launch comes “just in time for mainstream scale adoption of stablecoin money.”

Testnet support for Gateway is expected to go live in July on Ethereum, Avalanche, and Base, with additional chains to follow.

Meanwhile, Circle recently applied for a national trust bank charter from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, seeking authorization to manage the reserves backing USDC and offer digital asset custody services to institutional clients.

the $63M White Whale of a tale

The post the $63M White Whale of a tale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This weekend on crypto social media, memecoin traders spun yet another fantastic tale of leveraged trading meltdown.  According to the still-being-written legend, crypto exchange MEXC locked $3 million belonging to famed crypto trader The White Whale. As he continued to amass money from leveraged trading despite the freeze, he claimed that he’d become so wealthy that if MEXC ever unfroze the funds, he’d give away the proceeds to the community.  Then, on October 10, HyperLiquid liquidated $63 million of his then-larger assets amid a contentious pricing print from a data oracle. Though briefly devastated, MEXC eventually agreed to unlock his assets, prompting celebrations over his legendary return and, predictably, the creation of various memecoins. Smelling an opportunity, The White Whale decided to use some of his recently unlocked $3 million, earmarked for “the community,” to overtake one of these eponymous memecoins and add liquidity on its trading pairs. The White Whale of crypto Most crypto traders simply laughed as he attached cringe-worthy images of a white whale engaged in financial transactions to his trading commentary tweets. The laughter was appropriate, given how impossible it is to verify his narrative. So-called decentralized exchanges with limited know your customer requirements like HyperLiquid allow anyone to create an unlimited number of wallets and manipulate the pricing of markets across various wallets that they control.  In other words, no one except the trader knows if someone has sole claim to a single wallet and username, or whether someone is using multiple wallets in order to craft a trading history for one of many usernames. The White Whale, like the titular whale in Herman Melville’s 1851 novel, Moby Dick, has become an obsession to many on social media, thanks to the fantastic sums of money at stake, the clownish images, and the ostensibly philanthropic, Phoneix…
