Circle Brings USDC to Monad as Curve, Coinbase Join 13‑App Launch

Published at 2025-11-25 05:00:11

Circle announced on Nov. 24, 2025 that USDC is now live on Monad, bringing the regulated stablecoin to the high-performance EVM Layer‑1. The debut included 13 apps, with Curve (CRV) and Coinbase among early integrators, marking a coordinated launch of cross‑chain rails and on‑chain payment capability for the new chain.

The listing matters because native USDC supply on Monad reduces friction for payments, trading and DeFi primitives, and can accelerate onboarding of institutional flows and consumer apps. For Monad (MON) and DeFi projects like Curve, native stablecoin liquidity improves composability and user experience, while Circle’s infrastructure push underscores growing demand for regulated on‑ramps across emerging L1s.
