As reported by Foresight News on November 13, 2026, the dYdX Foundation said it had initiated an on-chain vote on the dYdX Chain v9.9 software upgrade. The vote was set to close on November 16 at 19:32. If approved, the upgrade was expected to be completed around 01:00 on November 18. The report did not specify a time zone for those deadlines.
The proposed upgrade would add a Canonical USDC module because Circle planned to discontinue USDC on Noble. It would gradually shift the asset supporting USDC on dYdX Chain from Noble USDC to Injective USDC, while leaving the on-chain USDC token identifier and users’ balances unchanged.
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 disabled subject to governance approval.
If on-chain USDC lacked sufficient support, deposits and withdrawals would pause automatically; trading would not be affected.
