CCTP Live on Arbitrum
Circle’s native USDC bridging technology CCTP is now live on Arbitrum. Compared to traditional bridges with liquidity pools using a “lock and mint” mechanism, CCTP uses a burn and mint mechanism made possible because Circle is the issuer of USDC. This potentially increases security as there is no liquidity pool to be hacked.

Multiple bridge providers including Celer, Multichain, Wormhole, and more announced support for CCTP.
