USDC Supply Surges by $2 Billion in Seven Days

Circle’s USDC stablecoin saw a significant boost of $2 billion in circulation over the past week, reaching 72.5 billion coins as of September 4, 2025. This increase, driven by both market demand and minting activity, signals robust interest from institutional investors in crypto markets. This surge is expected to impact DeFi liquidity, potentially increasing activity across centralized and decentralized platforms. The rise in USDC supply may affect yield rates, trading volumes, and the value of related cryptocurrencies like ETH and BTC.
