Polymarket, the largest fully onchain prediction market built on Polygon, is transitioning from using bridged USDC.e to native USDC as its primary payment method through a new partnership with Circle. Currently, USDC.e is used for all trading, order placement, and settlements, automatically converting deposits from other chains like Ethereum and Solana. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire stated the partnership will bring the utility and speed of native USDC to enhance the user experience. Circle, which natively issues USDC on about 30 chains, plans to introduce the native Polymarket USDC in the coming months, aligning with its roadmap to deepen native support on high-impact networks.
