Circle Ventures backing a perp DEX is actually significant. @edgeX_exchange just secured a strategic investment from @Circle and is getting native USDC + CCTP integration. Edge Everywhere ;) How is native issuance different? - Most chains use bridged USDC (wrapped versions). EDGE Chain is getting native USDC issued directly by Circle. - That means it's redeemable 1:1 for USD through Circle, institutional on/off ramps via Circle Mint, and zero bridge risk. - CCTP lets you move USDC between EDGE Chain and other blockchains without third-party bridges. No wrapped assets, no fragmentation. Fyi: EDGE Chain is an L3 built on Arbitrum that settles to Ethereum. edgeX (the perp DEX) runs on it. CEX-level performance, fully onchain. Unlocks: - Perpetuals on edgeX settle 24/7 with native USDC. Institutions can enter through Circle Mint. Capital moves crosschain without getting stuck in wrapped tokens. - Most perp DEXs bleed liquidity across chains. This fixes that.
