<div class="dailyhodl">
 <p>Ethereum (ETH) rival Fantom (FTM) is launching a new “canonical” stablecoin in partnership with USDC-issuer Circle.</p>
 <p>Fantom will utilize the cross-chain messaging protocol Wormhole (W) to roll out the new stablecoin, USDC.e.</p>

 </div>
 <p>Explains the Fantom Foundation,</p>
 <p><em>“USDC.e on Wormhole is bridged from native USDC, located in a smart contract on Ethereum, and holds the potential to be upgraded to native USDC in the future. It will be the official, endorsed stablecoin of the Fantom ecosystem (and all future network upgrades).”</em></p>
 <p><em>This initiative reduces liquidity fragmentation, introduces stability, and provides additional on-ramps to the ecosystem. By leveraging the Wormhole Native Token Transfers (NTT) standard, USDC.e will be available to all users and developers on Fantom.”</em></p>
 <p>The Fantom Foundation also notes that if it comes to a mutual decision with Circle to upgrade to the actual USDC stablecoin, all USDC.e tokens will transition to the native asset “seamlessly.”</p>
 <p>FTM is trading at $0.856 at time of writing. The 52nd-ranked crypto asset by market cap is up more than 4% in the past 24 hours.</p>
 <p>Top US crypto exchange Coinbase and Circle co-created USDC in 2018 and jointly managed the asset, which aims to maintain a peg to the US dollar, through the Centre Consortium until last year.</p>
 <p>In August, Coinbase Chief Executive Brian Armstrong and Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire said that Circle would bring all of USDC’s governance and operations responsibilities in-house.</p>
