According to Foresight News, Circle is set to launch its native USDC on Optimism next week. Prior to the launch of native USDC, the USDC Ethereum bridge on the blockchain explorer will be renamed to USDC.e. Circle will also collaborate with ecosystem applications to make similar changes to their application UI and documentation. Additionally, Optimism will work with ecosystem applications to provide a smooth liquidity transition from USDC.e to USDC over time.
