Yesterday in a joint statement, crypto giants Coinbase and Circle revealed a series of changes that are set to reshape the trajectory of the USD Coin (USDC).
Firstly, it was announced that USDC will extend its presence across six additional blockchains, expanding its compatibility and potential user base significantly.
Governance of USDC will also change, with Circle assuming responsibility for USDC’s issuance and governance. According to the press release, this will enhance operational efficiency and foster a more direct accountability structure.
Moreover, it was announced that Coinbase will take an equity stake in Circle.
