According to the announcement from Circle, businesses and developers will be able to build decentralized applications with USDC on Polygon. The new offering is touted to enable near-instant, low-fee transactions for various use cases, including payments, remittances, trading, borrowing and lending.


Before Circle announced its native Polygon USDC offering, protocol users had to use bridged USDC (USDC.e) from the Ethereum blockchain. The token is not issued by Circle, unlike the new offering, which will be redeemable at a 1:1 ratio for United States dollars.

Circle had previously provided support of deposits and withdrawals for USDC.e on Polygon for Circle Mint and its APIs. The issuer plans to discontinue this service from Nov. 10, warning users who attempt to send USDC.e to Circle Mint accounts that their assets may be unrecoverable after this date.The new Polygon USDC token address reflects a current market capitalization of some 4.3 million USDC on the scaling protocol.

Circle also notes that the provision of native Polygon USDC will enable low-cost global payments and remittances, as well as accessibility to trading, borrowing and lending on leading decentralized finance protocols, including Aave, Compound, Curve, Uniswap and QuickSwap.


The USDC issuer also plans to launch a cross-chain transfer protocol to Polygon to enable interoperability with other blockchain networks. This is set to unlock Polygon-based USDC transfers to and from the Ethereum blockchain.
