Circle halts minting USDC on Tron.
Out of the blue: Circle decided to call it quits on making USDC coins on the Tron network.
Who’s Circle? The company behind the USDC stablecoin.
Something to worry about?
Circle advices everyone to move their USDC assets to another blockchain — so yes, it’s worrying but with a warning.
there is time, as by February 2025, they will stop all services on Tron.
there is no specific reason other than this one: “continually assesses the suitability of all blockchains”. Whatever the freak it means.
💡 Now, where do I make this cross-chain swap? Here are a few protocols that allow you to do that:
Tronpad Bridge
Symbiosis Protocol
Defiway App
USDC is natively supported for 14 blockchain networks: Algorand, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Ethereum, Flow, Hedera, NEAR, Noble, OP Mainnet, Polkadot, Polygon PoS, Solana, and Stellar – with more expected in the future.
So you have plenty of blockchain to migrate your USDC on.
