Sonic Launches Native USDC and CCTP for Real-Time Cross-Chain Transfers

In Brief:

Sonic Labs upgrades cross-chain USDC to native USDC on its chain.

New CCTP integration enables real-time USDC transfers across supported blockchains.

Sonic Labs has officially upgraded its support for USD Coin (USDC), replacing the previously used cross-chain version with native USDC on the Sonic blockchain. Alongside this upgrade, Sonic has integrated Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), enabling real-time USDC transfers between supported blockchains.

The introduction of native USDC enhances liquidity and improves compatibility with DeFi applications within the Sonic ecosystem. Meanwhile, the CCTP feature allows users to move USDC across chains more efficiently, eliminating reliance on wrapped tokens and third-party bridges.

This upgrade aligns with Sonic's goal of delivering high-speed, secure, and seamless financial infrastructure, reinforcing its position as a fast-growing Layer-1 blockchain focused on user-friendly, scalable DeFi solutions.
