Non-USDC ERC-20 tokens can now achieve cross-chain transfers via CCTP, Circle releases developer guide
Odaily reports: Circle has released a developer guide explaining how token issuers can enable cross-chain transfers for ERC-20 tokens other than USDC through CCTP. Issuers can deploy new native cross-chain tokens or configure already-issued ERC-20 tokens as custom CCTP connections; both approaches reuse Circle's messaging and attestation infrastructure and adopt a burn-and-mint model. Issuers can set their own owner, operator, pause permissions, rate limits, and per-transaction transfer caps, and Circle cannot take over control. According to Circle's developer documentation, CCTP for non-USDC went live in September 2026, supporting EVM chains such as Ethereum, Avalanche, OP Mainnet, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon PoS, and Arc, but not non-EVM chains such as Solana.
