USDC Integration Goes Live on XRP Ledger, Enabling Cross-DEX Swaps

Reading Time: < 1 minute

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has officially added support for Circle’s USDC stablecoin, enabling new DeFi interoperability features. Through Ripple’s auto-bridging mechanism, users can now move USDC across decentralized exchanges (DEXs) using XRP as a bridge asset.

“Stablecoins like USDC are pivotal for real-world crypto adoption, bridging TradFi and blockchain ecosystems,” said Markus Infanger, RippleX’s SVP.

The deployment arrives as US regulators intensify scrutiny of the $237 billion stablecoin sector, where issuers collateralize tokens with US Treasury bills—pocketing the yield.

Notably, some officials advocate stablecoins as a hedge against de-dollarization, as global players diversify away from US debt.
