Rebeca Moen Dec 09, 2025 13:35 Aleo introduces USDCx on its testnet via Circle’s xReserve, enabling secure USDC-backed transactions across blockchains with privacy features. Aleo, a privacy-focused Layer 1 blockchain, has launched USDCx on its testnet through an integration with Circle’s xReserve, as reported by circle.com. This collaboration aims to facilitate secure interoperability of USDC-backed stablecoins across various blockchain networks. About Aleo’s Blockchain Technology Aleo is designed to support fully private applications using zero-knowledge proofs, which allow for programmable privacy by default. This means that developers can create decentralized applications (dApps) where user data remains encrypted, ensuring both privacy and scalability. Aleo’s infrastructure supports enterprise-grade compliance, making it suitable for a wide range of blockchain use cases. Introduction of USDCx USDCx is a stablecoin fully backed by USDC and deployed on Aleo’s testnet. Circle’s xReserve acts as a non-custodial smart contract infrastructure that provides the necessary attestations for the deposit and minting of USDCx. This setup allows for secure asset issuance and cross-chain transfers without relying on third-party bridges. Innovative Use Cases for USDCx The introduction of USDCx on Aleo’s platform opens up several innovative use cases: Global Payroll: Enables companies to securely and compliantly pay a global workforce without exposing compensation details. Aid Distribution: Facilitates confidential fund delivery to vulnerable populations, protecting their identities. E-commerce: Provides privacy in digital payments, safeguarding competitive information and reducing fraud. P2P Payments: Allows individuals to send funds globally while maintaining privacy akin to cash transactions. DeFi: Connects Aleo to global liquidity with privacy-preserving features for decentralized finance applications. Configurable Compliance: Uses zero-knowledge proofs to demonstrate regulatory compliance without exposing user data. Circle’s Role in Blockchain Interoperability Circle’s xReserve and its associated technologies, such as Circle Gateway and Circle CCTP, play a crucial role in making… The post Aleo Integrates USDCx on Testnet, Enhancing Blockchain Interoperability appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
