Coinbase is committed to the long term success of the stablecoin ecosystem and $USDC, specifically." In addition, Centre Consortium "will no longer exist as a stand-alone entity and Circle will remain as the issuer of $USDC, bringing any Centre governance and operations responsibilities in-house. The new structure will streamline the operations and governance, and enhance the direct accountability of Circle as the issuer, including holding all the smart contract keys, complying with regulations on governance of reserves and enabling $USDC on new blockchains." 
Circle also announced that $USDC will be launching on 6 new blockchains between September and October, bringing multi-chain access of $USDC up to 15 blockchains.
