According to Foresight News, Circle has temporarily ceased the minting of USDC on Noble as part of its CCTP (Circle Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol) maintenance upgrade. This move is a part of the ongoing efforts to enhance the cross-chain transfer protocol. The upgrade is expected to improve the overall performance and security of the system. The temporary halt on USDC minting is a necessary step in the process. The duration of the halt has not been specified, but it is expected to resume once the upgrade is complete. The impact of this temporary halt on the users and the market is yet to be seen. Further updates on the situation will be provided as they become available.
