Hermetica, the platform responsible for issuing the Bitcoin-based synthetic dollar USDh, has launched a pivotal cross-chain swap feature. This new functionality allows users to seamlessly swap USDC on Ethereum to USDh on the Stacks chain. This integration leverages Allbridge infrastructure to facilitate the transfer. Anyone with a Metamask wallet can now participate in this exchange, and importantly, no separate KYC verification is required. Hermetica emphasizes the significance of this development, stating that it "has established a reliable bridge between Ethereum's stablecoin liquidity and the Bitcoin-native financial ecosystem." This bridge facilitates the flow of capital into the burgeoning Bitcoin DeFi (BTCFi) space. As the BTCFi ecosystem expands, Hermetica aims to support a wider array of Bitcoin-based financial applications, further solidifying Bitcoin's role in decentralized finance. This move enhances accessibility and encourages participation in the growing BTCFi landscape. ```
