According to a recent statement issued by Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, the organization now plans to start support for the native USD coin (USDC) on the Polygon PoS network issued by Circle. The deposits and withdrawals for the same would be opening soon, and users would be notified separately as any development takes place.

The abridged version of the coin, USD Coin (PoS) (USDC.e), is already backed up by the crypto giant and will start presuming MATICUSDCE as the ticker from now on.

The deposits and withdrawals revolving around the current USDC on the Polygon PoS Network are to be suspended as of October 25, 2023, at 06:00 (UTC). Apart from this, the deposits and withdrawals of MATICUSDCE will continue to be jacked up by Binance. The upcoming project to jack up the support of the native USD coin on Polygon will not have an influence on any of the previously offered services by the firm, such as USDC spot trading, margin trading, futures trading, Binance Earn, and Binance Pay.

Circle Empowering The Native USDC

Earlier this month, stablecoin issuer Circle, announced its plans to begin the minting of the native USD coin (USDC) on the Polygon PoS network, an Ethereum based layer-2 scaling protocol. Following the announcement, users and developers can now access the USDC without bridging the stablecoin from Ethereum to another blockchain.

However, Circle plans to discontinue the support for the deposits and withdrawals that revolve around the abridged USDC.e on Polygon PoS for Circle Mint and its APIs. Only native USDCs are to be supported while moving forward.

The firm warns users not to attempt any transfer of USDC.e to Circle Mint accounts after November 10 as it could result in the loss of funds.
