Plume Welcomes Native USDC & CCTP V2 Integrations with Circle to Power RWAfi

September 4, 2025

We are thrilled to announce that native USDC and Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) V2 are coming to Plume, bringing the world’s largest regulated1 stablecoin to our ecosystem.

This milestone will supercharge Plume’s mission to bridge traditional finance and DeFi, enabling seamless, secure, and innovative financial solutions for all ecosystem partners and users.

Unlocking New Possibilities with USDC and CCTP V2

The upcoming launch of native USDC on Plume will empower our community with more seamless access to the world’s largest regulated stablecoin, facilitating a wide range of use cases across RWAfi, DeFi, social applications, and beyond.

With CCTP V2, Plume users will benefit from faster crosschain transfers across supported blockchains, providing secure and cost-efficient transactions.

Why This Matters for Plume

The addition of native USDC and CCTP V2 further positions Plume as a leader in the RWAfi and DeFi space, bringing Circle’s trusted stablecoin infrastructure to the Plume ecosystem. This collaboration enhances Plume’s ability to serve institutions, developers, and users seeking secure, compliant, and innovative financial solutions onchain.

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, regulated1 stablecoin designed for institutional-grade flows.

Token Information

Bridged vs. Native USDC 

Currently, Bridged USDC (USDC.e via Stargate from Ethereum) exists 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 Stargate’s bridge, and it will continue to operate normally. To reduce confusion, the bridged version will remain labeled as “USDC.e” in block explorers and across app UIs and documentation.
