Coinbase now supports direct USDC stablecoin deposits and withdrawals on the Polkadot network. This integration aims to provide users with greater flexibility and lower friction when moving value between the exchange and the Polkadot ecosystem.
The direct connection simplifies transactions and reduces costs by eliminating the need for third-party bridges. It also offers faster settlement times for users engaging with Polkadot’s multi-chain environment.
Strategically, this move enhances blockchain interoperability, linking a leading centralized exchange with a major multi-chain network.
The announcement precedes a highly anticipated "System Update" event scheduled for December 17. During the event, the company is expected to unveil significant product launches, including prediction markets and tokenized equities.
