Circle has significantly ramped up USDC minting this year. Since January, the issuer has added $2.25 billion in new USDC to circulation. Just today alone, another $500 million was minted. This surge in stablecoin supply reflects growing demand in the crypto market and demonstrates Circle's pivotal role in the DeFi ecosystem.

nah but fundamentally speaking, this usdc pump is exactly what my students have been asking about—like, when you understand the mechanics of stablecoin expansion, it's not just random minting, there's actual demand pressure behind it 💭

Is USDC this crazy? Five billion in one day... feels like I can't hold on anymore.

$2.5 billion in new USDC, this pace is a bit aggressive, but to be fair, the demand for stablecoins is definitely there.

Five hundred million a day, Circle is really printing money... or does the market really need this much stablecoin?

This growth rate is a bit outrageous, 2.25B in half a year. Is DeFi really about to take off?

This wave of coin minting is quite rapid, with 5 million coming out in just a moment... It feels a bit like inflation pressure.

USDC is so aggressive, five billion a day... Can the supply volume really hold up with such a surge?
