Circle, the transmitter of the USD Coin (USDC), expanded its presence in decentralized finance by investing directly in the hyperliquid ecosystem, marking its first participation in Hype Tokens.
This decision comes next to the official launch of the USDC native and the cross-transfer protocol (CCTP) V2 on the hyperliquid, positioning the shield in the center of one of the quickest growth platforms.
The circle increases the liquidity of the USDC on the hyperliquid, the role of validator of the eyes
According to Circle, the USDC will be deployed on Hyperevm, the intelligent hyperliquidal contract layer, allowing deposits through hypercore and any application built on the network.
The deployment will also bring CCTP V2 interoperability, allowing users to move the USDC between hyperliquid and other blockchains supported with full capital efficiency.
In July, Circle announced that its USDC and its native cross-transfer protocol (CCTP) V2 would soon launch on hyperliquid, a trading platform designed for a decentralized finance.
Circle stressed that the USDC issued on the hyperliquid will remain fully reserved and exchangeable 1: 1 for American dollars, while benefiting from institutional straps on and straps like Circle Mint.
Integration occurred at a time when the hyperliquid emerged as a main center for the liquidity of the stablescoin. The assets of the under management platform (AUM) recently exceeded $ 5.5 billion, compared to less than $ 4 billion earlier in July.
Circle allocated $ 1.2 billion in this growth to new USDC entrances, showing the growing role of stablecoin in the hyperliquid commercial environment.
The hyperliquid also captured 70% of the USDC liquidity share on the arbitrum, indicating the growing domination of the platform in Stablecoin trading.
Circle said its new media token support position was part of a wider plan to engage with the Hyperliquid manufacturer community, including support for Hip-3 and Hyperevm developers.
The company also noted that it assessed the possibility of becoming a hyperliquid validator, further strengthening its role in the ecosystem.
For merchants and developers, the addition of native USDC should extend use cases to the platform.
The USDC can now be used as a guarantee for perpetual contracts, serve as a quote contract for ad hoc pairs or be integrated into hyperevm applications such as treasury management tools, payment systems and other financial products.
The interoperability of CCTP V2 will also allow capital integration in capital, chip exchanges and the rebalancing of the portfolio between the chains.
Circle calls hyperliquid “one of the most impressive communities in crypto”
Circle stressed that integration is based on almost eight years of work to establish the USDC as a global digital dollar standard.
Since the launch, the USDC has supported nearly 40 billions of dollars in chain transactions, with more than 1 billion of dollars struck and exchanged to date.
Circle also underlined its regulated infrastructure and its banking relations on the main markets, including the United States, the United Kingdom, the EU, Singapore, Hong Kong, Brazil, Japan and soon water, such as the backbone of the USDC’s main liquidity.
The expansion in the hyperliquid occurs while the decentralized exchange continues to publish registration numbers.
In August, Hyperliquid generated $ 106 million in perpetual term negotiations, an increase of 23% compared to $ 86.6 million in July.
According to Defillama data, the platform also processed $ 383 billion in monthly trading volume at the time, annualized income reaching $ 1.25 billion.
Circle has described the hyperliquid as one of the most impressive communities of crypto, showing its decision to invest directly and provide deeper support.
The USDC is now integrated into the central hyperliquidal infrastructure, the two companies consider movement as a step towards adopting the adoption of stables through decentralized finance.
The StableCoin market approaches $ 300 billion in the midst of record growth and fragmentation
Stablecoins have become one of the decisive cryptography trends of 2025, gaining ground while the Trump administration pushes them to promote them through measures such as the Engineering Act, adopted in July, intended to strengthen the US dollar.
The sector, which exceeded $ 200 billion at the end of 2024, is now approaching a market capitalization of $ 300 billion, although estimates vary.
CoinmarketCap recently reported $ 300 billion, while Coingecko placed the figure at $ 291 billion and defillama at $ 289 billion, reflecting differences in monitoring methodologies.
July marked an important step, with a total capitalization of Stablecoin reaching a summit of $ 261 billion, extending a growth sequence of 22 months.
Negotiation volumes also increased, with pairs of centralized exchange stables recording 1.6 billion of dollars in July. Tether (USDT) retained his advance, climbing 3.6% to $ 164 billion, although his domination has dropped slightly.
USD Coin (USDC) increased by 3.8% to 63.6 billion dollars, while the Ethena USDE jumped 43.5% to $ 7.6 billion despite the drop in stimulation yields.
The USDF of Falcon Finance posted the most sharp gains, up 121% to $ 1.07 billion, while Blackrock’s Buidl and First Digital Labs’ FDUSD recorded a steep drop.
New bridge data show that Stablecoin transactions have exceeded $ 2.5 billions of dollars in recent months, while the analysis channel has noted that the USDT had systematically treated more than 1 dollars per month from mid-2024 to mid-2025.
In addition, the USDC managed up to $ 3.3 billions during peak months, showing its growing role in regulated corridors.
Analysts note that while the USDT dominates emerging markets such as digital species, the USDC and smaller stables such as the Eurc and the Pyusd gain ground, pointing to a more fragmented but rapidly expanding sector.
