Palo Alto, California, November 21st, 2024, Chainwire - Aptos Foundation announced plans to integrate Circle’s USDC and Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) on the Aptos Network, along with Stripe supporting Aptos in its crypto products. This integration aims to boost DeFi use cases on Aptos, improve interoperability, and streamline global payment solutions for merchants. With USDC being the largest regulated stablecoin and Aptos hosting over $160M in circulation, the integration will provide reliable fiat on and off-ramps, smooth merchant pay-ins and payouts, and a seamless connection between traditional finance and blockchain technology. The addition of Aptos to Stripe’s crypto products will enable users to convert fiat currencies into USDC directly through Aptos-enabled wallets, offering new opportunities for global merchants and payment providers to process transactions efficiently and securely at lower costs.
