Cardano (ADA) to Integrate LayerZero with USDCx via Midnight Mainnet

Cardano (ADA) partners with LayerZero to onboard USDCx, effective alongside the Midnight mainnet rollout on February 12, 2026. The integration brings institutional-grade stablecoin solutions with zero-knowledge privacy to Cardano, supported by major wallets and exchanges. LayerZero, an institutional blockchain receiving investment from Citadel Securities, marks a strategic expansion of privacy-preserving cross-chain capabilities. Hoskinson emphasized a short-term correction in sentiment but maintained a bullish macro outlook.
