Now Live: Native USDC & CCTP V2 on Plume

September 23, 2025

Earlier this month, we shared some exciting news: native USDC and Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) V2 were coming to Plume. Today, we’re thrilled to announce that the integration is officially live.

For the largest global community of RWA holders (200K+ on Plume)¹, the wait is over.

This milestone continues to drive Plume’s mission to bridge traditional finance and DeFi, enabling seamless, secure, and innovative financial solutions for our 200+ ecosystem partners and 200K+ global users.

Why This Matters

USDC is the world’s largest regulated stablecoin. With native support on Plume, USDC enables a wide range of use cases across RWAfi, DeFi, social applications, and beyond.

With CCTP V2, Plume users now benefit from fast, secure, and cost-efficient crosschain transfers, making it easier than ever to move value across supported blockchains without relying on third-party bridges.

On Plume, users will be able to seamlessly use USDC to mint the native Plume stablecoin pUSD, and redeem pUSD back into USDC. Plume enables users to collateralize, and settle real-world assets with a fully reserved, regulated stablecoin designed for institutional-grade flows.

Benefits of USDC on Plume

Circle’s infrastructure brings trusted, institutional-grade advantages directly into the Plume ecosystem:

  • Regulated² and fully reserved: a digital dollar redeemable 1:1 for US Dollars³
  • Institutional on/off-ramps: Convert fiat directly into USDC on Plume and redeem back to fiat the same way.
  • Seamless developer integration: Builders can easily integrate USDC into their apps on Plume, unlocking new payment and settlement flows.

How to Access USDC on Plume

There are multiple ways to get started with USDC on Plume:

  • For individuals and developers: Access USDC via exchanges or ecosystem apps that support Plume.
  • For institutions and qualified businesses: Readily access on/off-ramps for converting fiat currency to USDC on Plume by applying for a Circle Mint³ account.

USDC on Plume is easy to access and ready to power your next onchain innovation.

By combining Circle’s trusted stablecoin infrastructure with Plume’s institutional-grade RWA ecosystem, we’re creating new opportunities for businesses, developers, and users to unlock the future of onchain finance.

USDC is live. CCTP V2 is live. And with it, a new wave of global, and distributed financial activity is ready to flow through Plume.
