Bitstamp introducing multiple chains: USDC deposits and withdrawals on Stellar network
We are excited to introduce the first step in our journey to incorporate assets on multiple blockchains into our platform. As the first of many to come, we welcome USDC transfers on the Stellar network.
Now you can easily access the Stellar ecosystem: Simply buy USDC on Bitstamp and transfer it on the Stellar network, enabling you to explore and engage with various Stellar-based services and applications.
USDC on Stellar combines the power and inclusivity of the Stellar network with one of the world’s most widely used dollar digital currencies, enabling seamless, near-instant, low-cost cross-border payments, fiat on & off-ramping, and bulk payment disbursements, and more.
We are committed to simplifying and making it more cost-effective for you to access and utilize USDC on the Stellar network, representing a significant stride toward a faster, more efficient, and borderless financial future.
