Now Available: Native USDC & CCTP V2 on Plume

We're excited to announce that native USDC and CCTP V2 are now live on Plume to fuel institutional RWA adoption.

Plume is a RWA blockchain designed for real-world asset finance (RWAFi). It features fast finality, full EVM compatibility, and is designed to help institutions and developers bring financial assets onchain. The ecosystem has over 200K+ RWA holders - the highest number of any blockchain¹ - and 200+ apps and protocols building on Plume today.²

With this launch, developers, institutions, and enterprises on Plume can readily access USDC and benefit from Plume's cost effective, high-throughput infrastructure. The addition of CCTP V2 unlocks seamless crosschain transfers of the world's largest regulated³ stablecoin across over a dozen supported blockchains, powering new opportunities for RWAfi, DeFi, SocialFi, and more.

On Plume, USDC becomes a trusted instrument for institutional RWA settlement, global payments, and deep DeFi liquidity.

Benefits of native USDC on Plume:

• Offers a regulated³, fully reserved digital dollar redeemable 1:1 for US dollars⁴
• Enables institutional on/offramps like Circle Mint⁵ for eligible users
• Integrates easily into existing Plume apps

‍

With CCTP V2, developers will be able to:

• Enable users to move native USDC securely between Plume and supported blockchains with 1:1 capital efficiency
• Build apps with seamless crosschain onboarding, swaps, purchases, treasury rebalancing, and more

‍

Key Use Cases

Native USDC serves as a foundational building block for a range of use cases across the Plume ecosystem, including:

• Settlement layer for RWAs - Select institutional vaults can use USDC as a fully reserved digital dollar to collateralize and settle tokenized assets like on Centrifuge and Nest, with liquidity routed through Grove
• Multichain distribution - With CCTP V2, apps gain seamless access to USDC crosschain liquidity to fuel growth in the Plume ecosystem like Morpho and Rooster Protocol

‍

Market Opportunities

The integration of native USDC and CCTP V2 also opens new opportunities for growth and adoption across Plume including:

• Expanding Markets - Extends regulated stablecoin settlement globally, increasing the addressable market for institutions on Plume
• Diversified Asset Classes - Powers settlement for emerging RWA categories, from carbon credits to private credit funds‍
• Institutional Access - Circle Mint and Nest onboarding streamlines the path for institutions to hold and transact with USDC on Plume, helping lower barriers to entry

‍

Bridged vs. Native USDC

Currently, bridged USDC (USDC.e via Stargate from Ethereum) circulates on Plume. Plume will work with ecosystem apps to smoothly migrate from bridged to native USDC over time.

There will be no immediate changes to the Stargate bridge and it will continue to operate normally. Bridged USDC will remain labeled as "USDC.e" in block explorers and across app UIs and documentation.

View our migration guide for options on migrating to native USDC in your app.
