Circle Brings USDCx Stablecoin to Cardano via xReserve Integration

Circle has made significant strides in expanding its xReserve infrastructure by integrating with Cardano, a proof-of-stake blockchain. This integration brings the USDCx stablecoin to the platform, allowing for seamless cross-chain liquidity without relying on third-party bridges.

The move marks a crucial milestone for Cardano, which now becomes part of Circle's expanding ecosystem following the launch of USDCx on Aleo's privacy-focused network in late January 2026. Unlike native USDC deployments on other chains, USDCx operates through a decentralized protocol on Cardano while maintaining a 1:1 backing by USDC held in Circle's xReserve smart contracts.
