1. August Minting Milestone

In August 2025, Circle issued a staggering $4.75 billion in USDC (USD Coin) on the Solana blockchain. This single-month issuance now lifts the cumulative USDC minted on Solana during 2025 to $26.25 billion .


2. Tracking the Momentum

Earlier in August, Circle minted $750 million, bringing the total at that point to $24.75 billion . Reports from late August noted daily minting activity including $500 million in USDC, split equally between Ethereum and Solana, which helped elevate the Solana total to $25 billion .


3. Broader Context and Implications



  • The surge in USDC minting on Solana underscores the network’s growing importance in stablecoin deployment and liquidity provision.


  • Solana’s architecture—offering high transaction throughput and low fees—makes it a favored chain for on-chain financial operations.


  • Earlier in the year, issuance on Solana had already hit $24 billion by mid-August; this boom continued into late August, pushing the figure to $26.25 billion by month-end .


4. Why It Matters



  • For DeFi and institutional users: The expanding USDC supply on Solana makes it easier to onboard liquidity and support trading and settlement.


  • For blockchain scaling narratives: Solana continues to cement its reputation as a go-to layer for stablecoin-driven activity, becoming a serious counterweight to Ethereum congestion.


  • For the wider stablecoin market: The rapid growth adds to broader momentum behind regulated digital dollars as tools for both retail and institutional finance.


5. Outlook

Unless demand slows or strategic shifts occur, Circle’s USDC issuance on Solana seems set to remain robust. With another $26.25 billion minted in eight months—an average of over $3 billion per month—August serves not just as a milestone, but a reaffirmation of the stablecoin’s reliance on high-throughput blockchains like Solana.
