According to an official announcement on September 4th, Plume, the public blockchain platform focused on real-world assets (RWAs) and the first permissionless, open blockchain built for real-world asset finance (RWAfi), announced the completion of its partnership with Circle to integrate native USDC and the cross-chain transfer protocol CCTP V2 into its network. This move not only introduces the world's most regulated stablecoin to Plume but also significantly improves the liquidity of cross-chain assets, enabling faster, more transparent, and more cost-effective cross-chain asset transfers.
About this integration
Native USDC : Issued directly on Plume, allowing users to obtain and use USDC without relying on a cross-chain bridge.
CCTP V2 : Enables seamless and secure USDC cross-chain transfers between blockchains, reducing friction in multi-chain asset flows.
Expanding RWAfi use cases : In the Plume ecosystem, users can use USDC to mint Plume's native stablecoin pUSD, provide collateral for RWA transactions, and settle institutional-grade capital flows.
Currently, a bridged version of USDC exists on Plume (USDC.e, which crosses from Ethereum via Stargate). Plume will collaborate with ecosystem applications to gradually achieve a smooth migration from the bridged version to native USDC.
Native USDC and CCTP V2 will soon be available on Plume, providing the institutional-grade foundation needed for RWAfi. Plume will continue to provide frictionless, compliant settlement of real-world assets and pave the way for institutional-grade on-chain financial innovation.
Industry Signals: Institutionalization Trend and Deepening Liquidity
The industry generally sees this integration as an important step for Plume to gain external recognition:
● Circle endorsement: Circle selected Plume as one of its first partners after its IPO, signaling confidence in its development direction;
● Liquidity Expansion: The integration of USDC will bring a deeper liquidity pool, expanding application scenarios such as lending, stablecoin earnings, and cross-border settlement;
● Institutional layout: With the in-depth integration of compliant stablecoins and RWAs, Plume's ecosystem is gradually evolving towards institutional-level asset management and trading infrastructure.
Since the launch of Plume's Genesis mainnet on June 5, 2025, the network has established itself as the leading RWA blockchain, with nearly 200,000 asset holders and over 200 applications and protocols built on the platform. The addition of native USDC further solidifies this momentum, giving institutions, developers, and users access to a fully-reserve, regulated stablecoin.
