Everything on Interoperability

Circle’s CCTP protocol is the most widely used interoperability layer, moving half of all cross-chain value. ARK extends this capability to all tokenized assets, transforming interoperability into a universal infrastructure service.

Impact: By standardizing cross-chain transfers, Circle reduces fragmentation in the digital asset ecosystem, increasing the overall utility and adoption of tokenized assets.
