Wemade’s blockchain platform, WEMIX 3.0 Mainnet, has officially integrated the global stablecoin USDC.e as part of its strategy to expand ecosystem liquidity. USDC.e is a version of Circle’s USDC designed for multi-chain environments and is currently the world’s second-largest stablecoin with a market capitalization of about $32 billion.
This integration includes support for bridging and swapping functions via Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), significantly enhancing the efficiency and security of asset transfers between WEMIX 3.0 and other blockchain networks. Wemade stated, “Supporting USDC.e will broaden participation from global users and developers while strengthening mainnet liquidity.”
Chainlink added, “CCIP is a next-generation protocol that maximizes security in asset transfer processes. Through this collaboration, WEMIX’s ecosystem accessibility and credibility will improve substantially.” Currently, Chainlink CCIP operates across more than 12 networks, including Ethereum, Avalanche, and Polygon.
Industry observers note that this is the first instance of a Korean blockchain mainnet directly supporting a USDC-linked stablecoin. Analysts commented, “The integration of USDC.e with WEMIX 3.0 will enhance interoperability with domestic and global DeFi and NFT projects, contributing to growth in transaction volumes and user engagement.”
WEMIX 3.0 now processes an average daily trading volume of around $200 million and operates an ecosystem linked to diverse gaming and content services. The company announced, “We plan to sequentially launch payments, collateral, and DeFi products using USDC.e.”
Some caution that transparent collateral structures and real-time monitoring systems will be necessary to manage regulatory and compliance risks associated with stablecoins. Nevertheless, industry sentiment is optimistic that this collaboration will signal increased globalization and competitiveness for Korea’s blockchain sector.
