According to Odaily, Whale Alert monitoring has reported that an unknown wallet, starting with OSS3CE, minted 300 million USDC on the Algorand chain. The event occurred at approximately 22:05 Beijing time.
The Algorand chain is a decentralized, permissionless, pure proof-of-stake blockchain protocol that aims to deliver decentralization, scale, and security for all participants. The USDC is a stablecoin cryptocurrency where each token is backed by one United States dollar, held in reserve by regulated financial institutions.
The identity of the wallet owner remains unknown. The minting of such a large amount of USDC could potentially have significant implications for the cryptocurrency market. However, without further information, it is difficult to predict the exact impact of this event.
