Cardano Introduces USDCx Stablecoin for Cross-Chain Liquidity

Cardano has introduced the USDCx stablecoin, a significant development that enables smooth cross-chain transactions and enhances DeFi capabilities. The stablecoin is backed by Circle's USDC via its xReserve smart contract, allowing for streamlined access to USDC liquidity across supported blockchains.

The introduction of USDCx was made possible through the collaboration between Cardano's community-funded Critical Integrations program and other developers. This new feature will support DeFi activities such as lending, payments, and real-world asset settlement on the blockchain.
