(SeaPRwire) –   HONG KONG, March 29, 2026 — Financial Layer-1 blockchain Pharos Network has announced that USDC and the Circle Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) will be deployed on its upcoming mainnet, named The Pacific Ocean. This integration will bring widely-used stablecoin settlement and seamless cross-chain capital movement to the network, representing a major advancement in Pharos’s goal to create a global, inclusive settlement layer for RealFi.

The inclusion of USDC adds an institutional-grade stablecoin to the Pharos ecosystem. As a transparent, fully-reserved stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, USDC will act as a fundamental asset for settlement and collateral in areas such as tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), decentralized finance (DeFi) trading and lending, and international payment flows. Concurrently, CCTP creates native cross-chain links between Pharos and over 20 other supported blockchains, facilitating more than 400 secure transaction pathways. By removing the need for third-party bridges or wrapped assets, CCTP enhances both the security of assets and the efficiency of capital across the connected networks.

With USDC settlement built directly into the protocol, developers can create lending markets, structured financial products, and continuously operating global payment systems on Pharos. This allows institutional investors to enter on-chain RWA markets using compliance-focused infrastructure, and provides users around the world with greater access to real-world financial prospects.

The combination of USDC and CCTP is poised to enable a broad spectrum of financial applications within the Pharos ecosystem. For tokenized financial markets, USDC on Pharos can serve as the main settlement and collateral asset for instruments like tokenized treasuries, private credit, and commodities, in addition to supplying liquidity for DeFi activities. Outside of trading, merchants and payment providers can utilize USDC for efficient settlement, backed by its transparent reserves and redemption mechanisms. Meanwhile, CCTP will allow for smooth USDC transfers between Pharos and other blockchains, permitting capital to flow without friction across ecosystems and enabling better liquidity management and the cross-chain distribution of tokenized real-world assets.

Wish Wu of the Pharos Foundation stated: “RealFi demands both dependable settlement and worldwide access. Integrating USDC and CCTP brings institutional-level reliability to Pharos and makes that reliability available to a global audience of developers and users. Our objective has consistently been to develop genuinely inclusive infrastructure that can underpin real-world financial markets.”

After the deployment of USDC and CCTP, Pharos will be completely accessible to developers, financial institutions, and enterprises looking for compliant, stable, and high-performance infrastructure for real-world financial applications. To further spur ecosystem development, Pharos has also initiated a $10 million ecosystem incubator program to aid developers constructing applications native to the Pharos platform.

By offering USDC and CCTP to enable secure cross-chain capital movement, Pharos is establishing the foundational layer for RealFi, where institutional-grade assets can operate on-chain while being available to participants globally. This progress helps advance the vision of making real-world finance open, transparent, and inclusive.
