Circle unveils USDC Bridge for native cross-chain stablecoin transfers



Stablecoin issuer Circle has launched $USDC Bridge, enabling users to transfer $USDC natively between at least 17 blockchains without needing to rely on wrapped or synthetic tokens.

On Friday, Circle’s $USDC X account said the bridge allows users to move the $USDC ($USDC) stablecoin in a “predictable, transparent way,” citing a native burn-and-mint transfer mechanism and no bridge complexities.

Gas fees will be handled automatically, fees will be shown upfront, and live status updates will be provided throughout the transfer, Circle added.

The $USDC Bridge builds on Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), which was introduced in April 2023 and facilitates hundreds of millions of stablecoin transfers each day.

Cross-chain bridges seek to make the broader crypto ecosystem interoperable, functioning as a unified network rather than a collection of fragmented, isolated blockchains.

Making bridges as simple and easy to use as possible has been an area of focus for many crypto infrastructure firms.

In the past, bridges have confused users and arguably slowed crypto adoption, especially for beginners struggling to navigate bridge interfaces, trade routes and gas fees.

$USDC Bridge supports over a dozen blockchains

Cointelegraph found that $USDC Bridge supports $USDC transfers between at least 17 Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible blockchains, including Ethereum, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Base, Monad, Optimism, Polygon, Sonic and World Network.

Circle’s CCTP supports a broader number of blockchains, including Solana, Sui and Aptos, which are not natively EVM compatible.

On Wednesday, Circle was hit with a class action for failing to freeze around $230 million worth of $USDC that

Legendary Investor Turns $31K Bet on Asteroid Shiba into $301K: Details An unidentified crypto trader has transformed a modest bet on Asteroid Shiba (ASTEROID) into a substantial gain after enduring more than a year of losses.

In the fast-paced cryptocurrency market, where participants often pursue quick profits, the activity of wallet '0x2aff' presents a stark contrast.

According to Lookonchain, the trader made a high-risk move in late 2024 by accumulating billions of ASTEROID tokens. Although the position initially deteriorated, it has since surged sharply following an extended holding period.

Part of the answer sits in the liquidity hierarchy. Bitcoin still commands the first response in macro stress, because it carries the deepest liquidity, the broadest institutional recognition, and the strongest reflex move during periods of geopolitical uncertainty.

XRP has a narrower lane. It needs investors to believe that utility can translate into token demand on a timeline that the market can price.

That challenge has shown up repeatedly in the split between Ripple’s business traction and XRPL activity and on XRP’s amplified beta during broad crypto drawdowns. The current move forces that same issue into a macro context.

Bitcoin Cracks 7-Month Ceiling. Can Bulls Push It Higher?



Bitcoin jumped 2.7%, breaking the descending resistance line that had capped every rally since October.

Myriad traders have flipped bullish, giving $BTC a 69% chance of hitting $84K next.

Traders, though, give a new Bitcoin all-time high only a 6.2% chance of happening before July.

Bitcoin is surging today on a geopolitical trigger few predicted: Iran today announced the Strait of Hormuz (or Strait of Iran, as President Donald Trump now calls it) will remain fully open during the ongoing ceasefire. It sent oil prices tumbling and risk assets surging in tandem.

Bitcoin climbed above $78,000 intraday on the news before pulling back slightly, while digital asset treasury stocks like Strategy surged more than 10% as $BTC's rise pushed its holdings back out of the red.


The macro environment had been brutal for most of 2026 with Middle East tensions, inflation fears, a strong dollar, and tight liquidity keeping Bitcoin locked in a grinding descent from its October 2025 peak of $126,000.

Bulls are praying that changes this week.

Bitcoin: Breaking the pattern, but not out of danger

Today's candlestick on the Bitcoin charts is significant. Bitcoin opened at $75,172 and traders pushed the daily candle up to $77,205—a 2.7% gain on the session, with an intraday high of $78,384.

That move, modest as it sounds, was key to solidifying the thesis that the descending resistance trendline that had been rejecting Bitcoin at every rally attempt since October 2025 has been, finally, invalidated. For seven months, that line was gravity. This has been the first week Bitcoin trades over that line since the bearish pattern began.

Quantum computing stocks surged in double digits on April 14 and 15, as NVIDIA's launch of Ising, the world's first open-source quantum Al model family, reignited investor conviction that commercial quantum computing is accelerating faster than previously priced. Summary lonQ closed up 20.95% to $43.25, D-Wave Quantum gained 22.63% to $20.81, and Rigetti Computing rose 13.28% to $19.11, all driven by the NVIDIA Ising announcement. D-Wave's trading volume hit 90.2 million shares, approximately 227% above its three-month average, reflecting a sector-wide rerating rather than isolated stock-specific moves. TD Cowen analyst Krish Sankar called NVIDIA Ising a "critical catalyst" that could speed up commercialization of the quantum industry. Quantum computing stocks posted their strongest multi-day rally of 2026, with lonQ, D-Wave Quantum, and Rigetti Computing all closing with double-digit gains on April 14 and 15 after NVIDIA announced Ising, its open-source Al model family for quantum processor calibration and error correction. lonQ closed up 20.95% at $43.25. D-Wave Quantum gained 22.63% to close at $20.81 on trading volume of 90.2 million shares, roughly 227% above its three-month average. Rigetti Computing rose 13.28% to $19.11. Why the Market Reacted So Sharply NVIDIA Ising directly targets the two biggest engineering barriers preventing quantum computers from becoming commercially useful: error correction and processor calibration. Both processes currently require enormous manual overhead and limit the scale at which quantum hardware can operate reliably. By providing pre-trained, open-source Al models that reduce calibration time from days to hours and improve error correction decoding by up to 3x in accuracy, NVIDIA has materially shortened the engineering roadmap for companies like lonQ, D-Wave, and Rigetti,
