DZap: Circle’s CCTP, ECO, and NEAR Lead in Cross-Chain Bridging As DeFi Sees Institutional Shift

DZap, a DeFi aggregator that connects users with various decentralized finance protocols to find the best rates, low spillage, and efficient paths for trading and yield strategy, today listed the top cross-chain bridges on its platform by trading volume in the last 30 days.

The current DeFi environment is fragmented, forcing users to navigate between networks to access assets, liquidity, and major DApps (decentralized applications). With its interoperable DeFi platform, DZap enables crypto users to participate in multi-chain transactions and swaps, a move that simplifies digital asset management. By integrating both EVM and non-EVM networks, DZap allows customers to access liquidity across multiple chains, ensuring seamless execution, best prices, and minimized spillage for swaps and bridges. The platform connects users to over 15 bridges, allowing them to optimize swaps across both EVM and non-EVM chains.

Today, DZap shared data that pointed out some of the best-performing cross-chain bridges on its DeFi platform, highlighting their strong community engagement and user confidence.

Top Cross-Chain Bridges By 30-Day Volume On DZap

The data reported by DZap ranked the top three cross-chain bridges on its DeFi platform by trading volume in the last 30 days, as of today, March 22, 2026.

Circle’s CCTP tops the list, recognized as the bridge that leads to user participation on DZap. Circle’s USD cross-chain transfer protocol (CCTP), which allows USDC transfers between supported chains, facilitated the largest trading volume (specific figures not given) on the DZap platform, according to the data above

Second on the list is Eco, a stablecoin network that moves capital across various blockchains, which emerged as another significant player that recorded the second-largest trading volume on DZap’s DEX platform

Following closely is Near Protocol, identified as another cross-chain bridge that saw substantial usage, registering the third-biggest trading volume on the DZap’s platform, as illustrated in the data

DeFi Moving Towards Yield Infrastructure

In short, the data identified Circle’s CCTP and Eco as the leading stablecoin liquidity hubs that enable top movement of assets across DeFi multi-chain utilities supported on DZap. This development comes as DeFi continues to experience rapid growth, as the sector is witnessing a significant shift in its institutional opportunities.

This transformation, currently being noticed, involves a shift from basic tokenization toward more sophisticated yield generation and collateral activities among institutional customers in the DeFi space.

Data released yesterday by the NS3.AI platform pointed out an important shift in DeFi as institutional investors are increasingly embracing hybrid yield infrastructures that combine permissionless stablecoin liquidity with permissioned collateral, emerging as a new approach to asset management in DeFi
