#稳定币发展 The collaboration between Circle and Aleo is worth following. USDCx introduces bank-grade privacy processing mechanisms, which means that stablecoins are evolving from mere value carriers to privacy assets.

From an on-chain perspective, there are three key observation points:

First, how the adoption of privacy mechanisms will affect the on-chain liquidity distribution of USDC. Aleo, as a privacy public chain, has a relatively limited ecological scale, and whether the actual usage of USDCx can break through the barriers is a core indicator.

Second is the flow of funds. If large amounts of funds begin to circulate within the Aleo ecosystem, it will reflect the true intensity of demand for privacy stablecoins. It is necessary to track the initial cross-chain bridging data and contract interaction volume.

Third is the competitive landscape. Privacy coins like Monero and other privacy protocols are laying out in this direction, and the significance of Circle's move lies in leveraging the credit endorsement of mainstream stablecoins to promote the privacy narrative.

Currently, this seems more like ecological expansion rather than a major paradigm shift. However, the compliance path for privacy needs is indeed gradually opening up, and it is worth continuously monitoring the flow of funds and actual adoption.
