According to ChainCatcher, Gnosis DAO has started voting on the proposal to "allocate 8,000 GNO to fund the USDC incentive program."

The proposal states that the USDC token on the Gnosis chain (currently bridged from Ethereum via the Gnosis Bridge) does not meet the Bridge token standards established by Circle in November 2023. Circle takes over the token and converts it to native USDC on the Gnosis Chain, proposing to create an incentive program of up to 8,000 GNO. The program will run until USDC is natively issued on Gnosis.
