Flamingo Finance has integrated USD Coin (USDC) into its decentralized finance ecosystem, expanding the platform’s utility and offering users access to a widely adopted, fiat-pegged stablecoin. The addition enables USDC to be used in swaps, limit orders, staking, cross-chain transfers, and dividend distributions.

USDC is issued by Circle and Coinbase and maintains a 1:1 peg with the US dollar. With over US $30 billion in circulation as of 2025, it is among the most used stablecoins across blockchain ecosystems.

Trading and staking

Users can now trade USDC through Flamingo’s Convert feature, or place limit orders on the USDC-FUSD market via OrderBook+. A new USDC-FUSD liquidity pool has also launched, offering FLM token rewards for participants.

Additionally, rewards have been reintroduced for the USDT-FUSD liquidity pool, and Flamingo has updated its FLM minting distribution accordingly.

USDC has also been added to the list of dividend assets available in FLOCKS. When diversifying dividends during FLOCKS Epochs, users can now receive payouts in USDC alongside other assets such as USDT, BTC, ETH, and FLM.

Cross-chain functionality

Flamingo now supports wrapping and unwrapping USDC between the Binance Smart Chain and Neo N3 networks using its Wrap & Unwrap feature. An upcoming update will allow wrapping and unwrapping between USDC and FUSD, similar to the functionality currently available for USDT.

The addition of USDC is intended to improve accessibility for new users entering the DeFi space.
