According to Odaily Planet Daily, the Fantom Foundation announced the first phase of the launch of its stablecoin USDC.e, powered by Wormhole and using Circle’s bridging USDC standard. Fantom uses Wormhole Native Token Transfers (NTT) to speed up the integration process of bridging USDC.e. Once the bridged USDC.e is deployed on Fantom, Circle and the Fantom Foundation can push for its upgrade to native USDC.
