Payments giant Visa has said it’s expanding its cryptocurrency ambitions through the use of the popular USDC stablecoin on the Solana blockchain as it works with merchants to allow them to settle with USDC instead of fiat currencies.
Popular cryptocurrency wallet provider MetaMask has unveiled a new feature allowing users to exchange their Ethereum (ETH) holdings for traditional fiat currency through its Portfolio decentralized application.
Circle’s USDC stablecoin has launched natively on both Base and Optimism, two layer-2 networks, allowing Circle account holders to send USDC directly from their accounts to either network.
