What changed
Circle’s September announcement scheduled the end of new USDC minting through Circle Mint on Noble for 13 October, with redemptions continuing until 12 January 2027. It also sets a separate CCTP V1 wind-down schedule and says Noble will not receive CCTP V2.
Why it matters
A service withdrawing support does not mean every token transfer stops on the same day. Investigations need to distinguish the issuer’s schedule, bridge availability and what the chain actually records.
Keep the token and the route separate.
The bridge-matching lesson shows why a transfer on one chain needs a matching record on the other. Add the provider’s dated support notice to the context, without treating it as proof of a particular transfer.
