Across Protocol has expanded its Hyperliquid integration to support cross-chain deposits directly into USDC-PERPS on Hyperliquid, allowing users to fund perpetuals margin from other chains in a single step instead of manually bridging and then transferring inside the exchange. This builds on Circle’s rollout of native USDC and CCTP v2 on HyperEVM and Hyperliquid’s own cross-chain deposit infrastructure, and is aimed at simplifying capital flows into onchain perp trading. Hyperliquid is a high-performance perpetuals DEX running its own L1 (“HyperCore”), where USDC is the canonical margin asset for perps, historically funded mainly via the official Arbitrum bridge and internal transfers between spot and perp balances. Across earlier became one of the first third‑party bridges to route USDC directly into Hyperliquid accounts using Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP v2), initially targeting USDC spot balances on HyperCore. Circle’s deployment of native USDC and CCTP v2 on HyperEVM and its stated roadmap of enabling USDC deposits into Hyperliquid’s spot and perpetuals exchange created the underlying plumbing that partners such as Across can now use to send funds straight into perp margin. With USDC-PERPS now wired into these cross-chain flows, users can bridge USDC from multiple CCTP-enabled origin chains (such as Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and others) and have it land directly as perpetuals margin on Hyperliquid, bypassing extra steps like depositing via Arbitrum and manually moving from spot to perps. For active traders, this reduces operational friction and time-to-trade, and for Hyperliquid and Across it deepens their roles as infrastructure around native USDC liquidity and cross-chain derivatives access within the broader Hyperliquid ecosystem.
