As the Merge is scheduled for September, some community members and miners propose a fork to continue operations on Proof-of-Work.
Circle expressed its support for the Merge event saying they are excited about the possibilities that the blockchain achieves as well as less energy usage. The platform said after the Merge, it is going to support the PoS chain only. The Circle team said they look forward to the continued progress of Ethereum's scaling roadmap. In Circle's view, planned upgrades are the key to the growth and improvement.
USDC is the fourth largest cryptocurrency at the moment with a market cap of over $53 bln. It is the second stablecoin after Tether (USDT).
