On Thursday, the Arbitrum team announced via X that Bridged USDC Standard is now available for all Orbit chains. Bridged USDC Standard empowers EVM blockchain and rollup teams to reduce liquidity fragmentation with a single form of bridged USDC that their ecosystem can build around.
The team explained that Circle’s specification and process make it easy to deploy the Bridged USDC standard to Arbitrum Orbit chains, with the option of a future upgrade to native USDC.
Furthermore, Orbit chains that adopt the standard will enjoy reduced liquidity fragmentation, as they will have a single form of bridged USDC around which their ecosystem can be built.
