CENTRE, a consortium run by crypto exchange Coinbase and payments firm Circle has announced the support to issue USD Coin (USDC) on TRON, one of the largest and most popular blockchain-based operating systems in the world. USDC was on Ethereum in 2018 and expanded to Algorand, Stellar and Solana in the second half of 2020, as of June 2021 TRON is now the fifth chain to issue USDC with more to follow in the latter half of the year.
USD Coin (USDC) is a fully collateralized stablecoin against the U.S. dollar. It provides detailed financial and operational transparency, operates within the framework of the U.S. Currency Circulation Law, and cooperates with a number of banking institutions and audit teams. The USDC team has planned to expand issuance to an additional eight to ten more blockchains, this would be the broadest expansion of the $25 billion stablecoin to date, potentially surpassing the eight blockchains that support Tether’s USDT, the market leader with a $63 billion market cap.
“Expanding to other chains helps drive individual and enterprise adoption of open blockchain technologies. We anticipate that USDC on these blockchain platforms and multichain protocols will further accelerate the use of the world’s fastest growing digital dollar currency.”
TRON has been a hotbed for stablecoin activity supporting three major stablecoins including USDT, USDJ and TUSD. In 2021 in a historic turn of events TRON based USDT surpassed USDT on Ethereum, today USDT on TRON accounts for almost 51% of Tethers total marketcap. “TRON is excited to be a part of this new era as USDCl further expands its share of the global stablecoin market.,” said Justin Sun, CEO of TRON. “The explosive growth of USDT on TRON has proved to be an indicator of the strength and potential of TRON’s massive community of members and developers. We expect USDC to experience a similar trajectory of adoption and growth on our network.”
Further updates and integrations will be announced over the balance of the year.
