Apex Fusion Brings USDC Liquidity to Cardano via Stargate Integration
Apex Fusion, the multi-layer Web3 ecosystem uniting UTxO and EVM networks, has announced a major new integration with Stargate, the leading omnichain liquidity transport protocol powered by LayerZero.
This integration uses Stargate’s omnichain liquidity protocol, powered by LayerZero, to enable native USDC transfers across chains without wrapped assets. Liquidity moves seamlessly through unified cross-chain pools, bringing instant and deep USDC access to both the VECTOR (Cardano execution layer) and NEXUS (EVM Layer 2) chains, delivering stablecoin interoperability to the Apex Fusion and Cardano communities.
Through this collaboration, Apex Fusion becomes the first ecosystem to foster the extension of native USDC liquidity to Cardano-based projects via a Stargate route, addressing a long-standing need for stablecoin access and DeFi composability within the Cardano community.
To launch this initiative, the Apex Fusion Foundation has committed an initial $2.5 million in USDC liquidity, creating a robust foundation for projects building within the ecosystem and opening new pathways for developers and liquidity providers across both UTxO and EVM environments.
“This is a major milestone not just for Apex Fusion, but for the Cardano ecosystem as a whole,” said Christopher Greenwood, COO of Apex Fusion Foundation.
“Stablecoin liquidity has been one of the most requested features by Cardano projects, and this integration directly answers that call. Through Stargate, we’re unlocking USDC access for the first time on VECTOR and NEXUS, setting the stage for scalable, cross-chain DeFi and real-world applications. We already have a strong pipeline of projects preparing to expand into these new economies.”
Angus Lamp, Product Lead at Stargate, said:
“We are excited to partner with Apex Fusion in extending Stargate’s omnichain liquidity to new frontiers. Connecting USDC to Cardano through Apex Fusion’s VECTOR and NEXUS chains demonstrates how interoperability can transform the flow of stable assets across ecosystems. Apex Fusion understands the capability and power of this tech and we are impressed to see their innovations.”
