Circle Expands CCTP Support to Custom ERC-20 Tokens on Arc
Circle has extended its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) to third-party ERC-20 tokens on the Arc network, enabling issuers to move custom tokens across supported blockchains through a native burn-and-mint process without relying on separate bridges or wrapped assets. Developers can integrate either by deploying new cross-chain tokens or connecting existing ERC-20 assets, while issuers retain control over permissions and transfer limits. Circle's Forwarding service also lets recipients avoid paying gas fees on the destination chain. The feature targets use cases such as payments, collateral, tokenized real-world assets, and treasury management.

Stablecoin Market Flashes Bullish Signal: USDC Shrinks, USDT Supply Rebounds as Capital Returns to Crypto
The stablecoin market is showing a reversal in capital flows. USDC supply has contracted by $1.1 billion (3.9%) from its August 8 peak, while USDT has resumed growth after months of stagnation, reaching $65.2 billion in free float. Total stablecoin supply has climbed from $26.8 billion at the start of the year to roughly $112.8 billion. The author reads USDT's expansion as fresh capital entering crypto and USDC's decline as fading demand for DeFi safe-haven positioning—together a bullish sign that risk appetite is returning. The piece also covers Tether and Circle's push for greater reserve transparency, why USDT has taken root on Tron, and Chinese OTC demand.

Circle to Retire CCTP V1 on December 1: Noble Chain Left Out of New Version as USDC Services End in January
Circle has announced that its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) V1 will be fully discontinued on December 1, with daily cross-chain limits being gradually reduced starting October 31. The new CCTP uses entirely new contracts and interfaces and is not backward compatible, requiring all bridges, aggregators, and wallets integrated with the old protocol to rebuild. Cosmos-based Noble will not be included in the new integration, and Circle plans to suspend all of its USDC contracts on January 12, 2027, initiating balance snapshots and manual redemptions. The move reflects a broader trend of centralized stablecoin issuers tightening control over cross-chain operations, shifting from unchecked expansion toward security and compliance.

Polymarket Users Lost Funds Through a Website Vendor — How Safe Is the Trading Interface?
Polymarket halted international trading for an hour on October 29 after a third-party website vendor was compromised. Attackers used a performance-monitoring script loaded on the site to try to sell positions and move assets through logged-in users' trading clients and signing tools. Trader Car reported roughly $800,000 stolen, with a friend losing $600,000, and all positions sold off. Polymarket confirmed the vendor breach, promised to compensate affected users, and referred the matter to law enforcement, but has yet to release full investigation findings or a final loss total. It is the second vendor-breach security incident in four months.

Curve Makes Its First Foray Beyond EVM Chains with Stellar Launch: StableSwap Goes Live, FXSwap Targets On-Chain FX Market
Curve Finance has completed a native deployment on the Stellar mainnet, marking its first move outside the EVM ecosystem. The core StableSwap trading module is now fully live, letting users permissionlessly create liquidity pools and swap with low slippage. Founder Michael Egorov says the push is driven mainly by institutional compliance needs and builds on Stellar's strengths in cross-border payments and FX settlement. Once security audits are complete, FXSwap—optimized for fiat currency exchange—will launch, targeting the on-chain FX market. With Curve's TVL holding steady at roughly $1.27 billion, the non-EVM expansion is seen as a key path to new growth.
