# Stablecoins

> Overview of stablecoins available on Polygon Chain, with integration guides for USDC and cross-chain transfers.

Polygon Chain supports 50+ stablecoins covering USD, EUR, GBP, and local currencies. All are available as native ERC-20 tokens. USDC additionally supports cross-chain transfers via Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP).

## USDC integration

USDC is the most commonly used stablecoin for payment applications on Polygon. There are two integration paths depending on whether your use case is single-chain or cross-chain.

**Native USDC** is a standard ERC-20 token on Polygon. Use it for payments, balances, and transfers within Polygon.

**Gateway USDC (CCTP)** uses Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol to move USDC between chains by burning on the source chain and minting on the destination. Use it for cross-chain settlement.
