Circle's CCTP burns native USDC on the source chain and mints native USDC on the destination, so you still hold Circle-issued USDC at the end. This 2026 guide covers burn-and-mint versus lock-and-mint, Fast versus Standard Transfer, and what to confirm before you move funds.
The brand on the token is often not the issuer. PayPal's own SEC filing calls Paxos a third-party issuer. What does that mean for reserves, redemption, and control?
Quote the sale in dollars, take native Circle-issued USDC on a named chain through a processor or a verified payment address, then reconcile the hash. A wallet QR is not a checkout.
Native USDC is the Circle-issued contract on that chain. This 2026 treasury checklist shows how to tell it from a third-party bridged wrapper before you accept, hold, or redeem: Circle issues it, Circle redeems it, and Circle publishes the address.
Depeg cover exists and pays real claims. But when Terra collapsed, one major provider paid $11.7 million, and another excluded it entirely. What determines which?

Tether ended support for five chains in 2025. The tokens still move but cannot be redeemed, which removes the mechanism that holds the peg. What does deprecation mean?
Off-ramp USDC to bank cash via Circle Mint payouts, processor ACH, or venue cash-out, then wire or ACH only to a controlled account.
Write the USDC spend policy on the agent wallet before you fund it, then enforce per-transaction and rolling-window caps at signing time, outside the model. This 2026 guide covers Circle transfer limits, recipient allowlists, remaining budget, and the kill switch when a cap should fail closed.
From 18 July 2028, US platforms may only offer stablecoins from licensed issuers. What the deadline requires, the foreign-issuer path, and what it means for holders.
The AICPA criteria set what a stablecoin attestation must cover. Part II added 15 operational controls in January 2026, and it is not law yet. What changed.
Pay the commercial amount in dollars, then settle it in USDC on a named chain to a verified supplier address. This 2026 accounts-payable guide covers how to fund, send, confirm, and record a USDC supplier payment without turning a purchase order into a crypto trade.
A stablecoin attestation confirms one claim on one date: that reserve assets equaled or exceeded tokens in circulation. Here is how to extract the five lines that matter from the PDF, and what the report cannot tell you.
