Injective to add native USDC issuance and Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol integration

Injective plans to support native issuance of USD Coin and connect to Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol to enable direct USDC transfers across supported blockchains. Native USDC is expected to serve as a core collateral and liquidity asset for Injective's trading-focused DeFi ecosystem, while Circle's burn-and-mint design aims to reduce bridge-related risks.
