Circle says CCTP can now connect non-USDC ERC-20s on Arc

Circle outlined a native and custom path for making issuer-operated ERC-20 tokens interoperable with CCTP, starting on Arc testnet.

Circle said its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol can now be used to connect non-USDC ERC-20 tokens, extending the burn-and-mint model beyond its dollar stablecoin and onto Arc, the company’s blockchain for applications that move value. In a blog post published Oct. 30, 2026, Circle described two routes for issuer-operated tokens: deploy a native CrossChainToken through its service or configure an existing ERC-20 as a custom CCTP connection.

According to Circle, the goal is to let the same economic asset move between supported EVM chains under one bridge identity, rather than forcing every venue to use a separate wrapped token or one-off bridge. The company said Arc is designed for settlement use cases, with fees paid in USDC and deterministic finality intended to make CCTP attestation timing predictable. Circle added that applications can issue or hold inventory on Arc, then move that same asset to another supported chain when settlement, collateral or rebalancing needs change.

Circle said CCTP’s familiar USDC flow remains burn on the source chain and mint native USDC on the destination after an offchain attestation from Iris. For non-USDC assets, the company said the same message and attestation layer now supports ERC-20s, but the transfer path differs from TokenMessengerV2. In the issuer-operated model, Circle said transfers run through CrossChainTokenService and a per-token manager.

The post set out two configurations. A native path is aimed at new tokens designed for CCTP from the start, using deployCrossChainToken on Arc to create the token and manager.
