- Circle deploys native USDC and CCTP V2 on Hyperliquid
- Hyperliquid captures 70% of Arbitrum’s USDC
- AUM surges to $5.5B amid $1.2B USDC growth
Circle has officially launched native USDC and CCTP V2 on Hyperliquid, further strengthening the decentralized exchange’s role in the crypto ecosystem. With this integration, Hyperliquid becomes a critical hub for USDC liquidity, especially on Arbitrum, where it’s already handling over 70% of all USDC volume.
This move reflects Circle’s broader mission to make USDC more accessible, efficient, and secure across DeFi platforms. By introducing native USDC instead of bridged tokens, Hyperliquid now offers faster and more cost-effective stablecoin transfers — especially vital for traders and liquidity providers navigating high-volume environments.
Hyperliquid’s AUM Surges to $5.5B
Hyperliquid’s total assets under management (AUM), including the new decentralized unit known as “Unit,” skyrocketed from under $4 billion to $5.5 billion in just one month. This significant rise is largely fueled by the inflow of $1.2 billion in USDC, demonstrating strong market confidence in the platform and its stablecoin integrations.
As Circle’s CCTP V2 (Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol) enables seamless and secure USDC movement across chains, Hyperliquid stands to benefit even more. The upgrade supports native chain swaps without requiring bridges, reducing smart contract risk and friction.
USDC on Hyperliquid Dominates Arbitrum
The dominance of USDC on Hyperliquid within the Arbitrum ecosystem underscores a shifting trend in stablecoin usage. Traders and protocols are increasingly favoring native solutions that offer deeper liquidity and tighter spreads — a niche Hyperliquid seems to be capturing well.
With this momentum, the exchange is positioning itself as a go-to destination not only for trading but also for stablecoin settlement and yield-generating strategies. As DeFi continues to mature, integrations like this signal a more efficient and resilient future for stablecoins like USDC.
