Circle is actively swinging its finances like a bartender with a shaker: over the week, they issued $3.8 billion USDC, redeemed $2.9 billion, resulting in a net increase of $900 million in turnover. In total, the overall turnover of USDC now stands at an impressive $42.3 billion. Moreover, reserves slightly exceed this amount — $42.5 billion, so everything adds up.
Interestingly, $4.9 billion of these reserves is cash (yes, the real stuff, paper or in bank accounts), while the remaining $37.6 billion is comfortably settled in the Circle Reserve Fund. It's impressive how the company skillfully balances its reserves, demonstrating that a strong financial cushion truly backs their stablecoin.
