Brief

Corey Cooper (2026-06-25) outlines a new USDC payment standard for the MPP ecosystem that leverages Circle Gateway and xReserve to make USDC chain‑abstracted. He argues this lets developers accept cross-chain USDC while settling on a chosen destination chain, allows agents to avoid per-transaction bridging, and enables blockchains to participate without shared settlement networks.

Why it matters

On 2026-06-25 Corey Cooper announced a new USDC payment standard for the MPP ecosystem that leverages Circle Gateway and xReserve to make USDC chain-abstracted.

Key details

  • Developers can accept USDC from multiple chains while settling on a preferred destination chain, eliminating the common requirement that payers hold USDC on the merchant's settlement chain.
  • Agents can pay from wherever they hold USDC without bridging funds before each transaction, and blockchains can join MPP commerce without merchants and payers sharing the same settlement network.

Developers, agents, and blockchains all benefit from the new USDC payment standard being introduced to the MPP ecosystem.

Today, a merchant often needs a payer to hold USDC on the same chain where settlement occurs.

With Circle Gateway and xReserve, USDC can become chain-abstracted.

→ Developers can build MPP payment experiences that accept USDC from multiple chains while settling on their preferred destination chain.

→ Agents can pay from wherever they hold USDC instead of bridging funds before every transaction.

→ Blockchains can participate in MPP commerce without requiring merchants and payers to share the same settlement network.

Just like dollars move between banks without consumers worrying about which banking network is used, this standard helps make USDC work across supported blockchain networks.
