September 17, 2025 marked a historic milestone for the XDC Network: native USDC officially went live.
For the XDC ecosystem, this was more than just an integration. It was a transformation:
Instant Settlement: USDC on XDC delivers near-instant 2-second block finality.
Institutional Liquidity: As a fully regulated, dollar-backed stablecoin, USDC opened doors to enterprise adoption and compliant financial products.
Bridging Finance: It provided the stable settlement layer required for tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs), from gold and money market funds to U.S. Treasuries.
⚡ And then came the real shocker.
Just one week after USDC launched, XDC flipped the XRP Ledger in adoption momentum and relevance.
Here’s why the flip happened so fast:
Tokenization at Scale: XDC became the preferred blockchain for regulated RWA products.
DeFi Expansion: Platforms like XSwap Protocol saw rapid USDC <> XDC liquidity growth, attracting new participants.
Cross-Border Advantage: Enterprises began eyeing XDC for compliant, scalable, ISO 20022-native financial infrastructure.
Community & Market Reaction: The XDC community rallied, while developers, node operators, and institutions moved in sync to build utility.
👉 The outcome: September 2025 will be remembered as the month XDC moved ahead of XRP—powered by USDC, tokenization, and a vision for regulated digital finance.
This isn’t about rivalry; it’s about progress. And for XDC, it’s just the beginning.
