Circle CCTP is how USDC moves across chains without a naive hop

Cross-chain USDC is plumbing for multi-network x402, not a 402 spec.

Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol documentation describes burning and minting USDC across supported chains. Machine buyers that route across Base and other networks inherit this plumbing and its failure modes.

Why it matters

Multi-chain x402 is a routing problem. Bridged lookalikes are not native USDC.
