Circle expanded its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), a system for native cross-chain token transfers, to EURC, its euro-backed stablecoin, on September 2, 2026. The initial deployment connects Ethereum and Base, allowing EURC to be burned on one network and newly minted on the other. Recipients receive native EURC rather than a wrapped representation issued by an external bridge. The rollout makes EURC the second Circle-issued asset supported by CCTP, while existing USDC functionality remains unchanged and developers can handle both stablecoins through one integration. EURC was trading at $1.16, up 1.97% over 24 hours, with a $465 million market cap. Circle says CCTP is non-custodial and that its technology-services unit does not hold or manage transferred assets, but transactions are irreversible, including transfers sent to incorrect addresses. The expansion follows CCTP launches on Stellar and Cronos earlier in 2026 and comes as euro-denominated stablecoin activity gains attention, including reported record EURC activity tied to demand for MiCA-aligned assets. Circle did not provide adoption forecasts or transaction-volume targets, saying only that more assets and capabilities are planned.
