Foresight News reported on November 13, 2026, at 19:51:20 (UTC+08:00) that the dYdX Foundation had announced an on-chain vote on a proposed dYdX Chain v9.9 software upgrade. The vote was scheduled to end on November 16 at 19:32. If approved, the upgrade was expected to be completed around November 18 at 01:00. The report did not specify a time zone for those two deadlines.
The proposal responds to Circle’s planned discontinuation of USDC on Noble. It would add a Canonical USDC module and gradually change the asset supporting USDC on dYdX Chain from Noble USDC to Injective USDC. The on-chain USDC token identifier and users’ balances would remain unchanged. In other words, the proposed change concerns the asset supporting the token, not the amount shown in a user’s balance.
Once migration began, USDC deposits would be accepted only through Injective. Deposits from Noble—including CCTP transfers routed through Noble—would be rejected and returned. Withdrawals could go to Noble or Injective, but no longer to other chains. After the Noble-backed portion was cleared, withdrawals to Noble would be closed subject to governance approval.
If on-chain USDC lacked sufficient backing, deposits and withdrawals would pause automatically; trading would not be affected, according to the report.
