🚀 Circle Launches Gateway to Unify USDC Liquidity



Circle has introduced a new Gateway service that eliminates USDC liquidity fragmentation and allows it to be used in a multi-chain environment as if it were a single blockchain.

📌 Key Features:

Non-custodial — funds are under user control.

Next Block Speed ​​— USDC cross-chain transfers take less than 500 ms.

Unified Integration — connect once to all supported networks.

Gateway already works in Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Ethereum, OP Mainnet, Polygon PoS and Unichain. Arc will be added soon.

💡 Use Cases:

onramp and payment providers — lower capital and treasury costs;

exchanges — fast withdrawals without rebalancing;

custodial services — unified access to USDC;

DeFi and Market Makers — Efficient Liquidity Distribution.

Circle says it's "a world where cross-chain interactions feel like working with a single blockchain."

❓What do you think: will Gateway become a real standard for cross-chain settlements or will it remain a niche solution for B2B?
