Chainlink integrates with Circle’s CCTP protocol for cross-chain USDC transfers

QUICK TAKE:

-Chainlink has integrated Circle’s cross-chain transfer protocol (CCTP) with its CCIP system.

-The project will use CCTP to handle secure USDC stablecoin transfers across different blockchains.

Decentralized oracle project Chainlink LINK,
has integrated Circle’s cross-chain transfer protocol (CCTP) with its own CCIP system, aiming to securely move the USDC +0.23% stablecoin across blockchains.

Chainlink said leveraging both technologies will open up new stablecoin use cases around payments and DeFi. “We’re excited to support the adoption of stablecoins across a variety of cross-chain use cases,” said Sergey Nazarov, co-founder at Chainlink. “I’m pleased to see that the defense-in-depth security infrastructure of CCIP, with multiple layers of decentralization, is highly valued by developers building with USDC.”

Both technologies — with similar-sounding acronyms — are designed to link assets across networks. Yet there are distinctions.

Chainlink’s CCIP is a generalized cross-chain messaging framework that allows developers to transfer data and assets across chains — using a smart contract-based mechanism that's powered by Chainlink oracles.

Meanwhile, Circle — the issuer of USDC — operates CCTP. This is a standardized bridge protocol that lets users make native USDC transfers by burning and minting the stablecoin between supported chains. CCTP is available on seven networks: Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Ethereum, Noble, OP Mainnet, and Polygon PoS.

Multiple interoperability-focused protocols and bridge projects — such as Celer Network, Li.Fi, and Wormhole — have already integrated Circle’s CCTP. Chainlink is the latest to do so.

☣️ Woman Confronts Chemtrail Pilots with Absolute Proof of Heavy Metal Contamination Under Flight Paths! ☣️

This is a great example of how regular people can do something about the chemtrails they see being sprayed over them and how people can take ownership of problems they see in their own neighborhoods.

After a mother living in the Joaquin Basin area of California’s Central Valley and her neighbors observed chemtrail flight patterns over their homes over an extended period of time and after they took 20 rain samples to a laboratory that tested positive for aluminum, magnesium, barium, strontium and titanium, she recorded audio of her confrontation with who they’ve identified as the local chemtrail aviation operator.

She tells him that when she alerted the County Supervisors, they were unaware of contents of this aerosol spraying campaign.

The aviation operator acknowledges that his company’s flights are public knowledge.

She counters that the flights are public knowledge but that the contents of the toxic aerosols being sprayed are not, which is in violation of California Codes and Law; that ...

💼 Top Treasury Official Resigns Amid Dispute with Elon Musk’s DOGE Over Payment Systems Access

David A. Lebryk, the highest-ranking career official at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, has resigned following a clash with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

🔹 The Dispute

~DOGE sought access to the Treasury’s sensitive payment systems, which handle over $6 trillion annually (Social Security, Medicare, federal salaries, tax refunds).

~Lebryk, a 35-year Treasury veteran, opposed the request, citing the systems’ highly restricted access.

🔹 Lebryk’s Legacy

~Appointed Fiscal Assistant Secretary in 2014, he briefly served as acting U.S. Treasury Secretary in January 2025.

~His departure raises concerns about the future management of the nation’s financial infrastructure.

👉 The clash highlights tensions between government efficiency initiatives and financial security protocols. Will DOGE’s push for access reshape Treasury operations, or will traditional safeguards prevail?

CFTC to host CEO Forum on stablecoins and collateral with key industry players, including Ripple, Coinbase

Aiming for innovation and economic leadership, the CFTC plans a forum with crypto giants to shape digital markets.

Key Takeaways

The CFTC announces a pilot program focused on tokenized non-cash collateral with firms like Ripple and Coinbase.
This initiative aims to provide clarity for US digital asset markets and fosters responsible innovation.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) said Friday it is launching a pilot program to explore the use of stablecoins and other digital assets as collateral in financial markets. The agency plans to convene a CEO Forum with leading crypto firms to discuss the launch, including Ripple Labs, Circle, Coinbase, and Crypto.com.

The forum, announced by Acting Chairman Caroline Pham, will focus on the CFTC’s digital asset markets pilot program for tokenized non-cash collateral. The initiative aims to assess the feasibility and implications of using assets like stablecoins as collateral in trading and clearing activities.

“The CFTC is committed to responsible innovation. I look forward to engaging with market participants to deliver on the Trump Administration’s promise of ensuring that America leads the way in economic opportunity,” Pham stated.

The CFTC’s move comes as stablecoins have grown in market capitalization and are increasingly seen as a potential bridge between traditional finance and the digital asset ecosystem. The initiative builds on Pham’s earlier proposal for a CFTC pilot program designed to serve as a US regulatory sandbox, aiming to provide clarity for digital asset markets while maintaining protective measures.

The agency has previously utilized pilot programs to evaluate new financial products and technologies. Pham has advocated for a “regulatory sandbox” approach to provide clarity for digital asset markets. The CFTC’s Global Markets Advisory Committee has also recommended expanding the use of non-cash collateral through distributed ledger technology.

More details about the CEO forum and the pilot program will be released as they become available.
