Circle has launched USDCx, a privacy version of its USDC stablecoin, on the privacy-focused Aleo blockchain, Cointelegraph reported on Jan. 27. USDCx is issued through Circle xReserve and is interoperable with major networks such as Ethereum without a separate third-party bridge. Circle previously said it would offer a privacy-enhanced stablecoin for banking and corporate customers. Cointelegraph also cited Grayscale research on rising interest in privacy coins.
