Circle has expanded its Gateway product to support cirBTC, a Bitcoin-backed token, and EURC, a euro stablecoin, allowing users to hold one unified balance per asset across multiple blockchains instead of separate balances on each chain. This update enables gas-free Nanopayments for these assets, benefiting businesses and applications that handle frequent small transactions. Gateway remains non-custodial with a trustless withdrawal option, and the addition of EURC offers a MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin option for European users, while cirBTC provides Bitcoin exposure across chains. This development reduces capital buffers needed across chains and simplifies asset management for users and developers.
