$USDC Based on recent data, the amount of USDC issued in the past month (from the beginning of February to the beginning of March 2025) shows a clear growth trend. Some highlights include:

- Growth in Circulating Supply:

As of March 8, 2025, the circulating supply of USDC reached approximately 58.08 billion USDC, significantly up from 56.36 billion USDC at the end of January 2025. This indicates that within one month, Circle issued an additional approximately 1.72 billion new USDC.

Notably, in the early days of March, the issuance activity was strong, with large minting batches, including:

- March 7, 2025: Issued 135.27 million USDC.

- March 8, 2025: Issued 205.68 million USDC followed by 472.52 million USDC within just a few hours.

- Issuance on different blockchains:

USDC is issued on multiple blockchains, with Ethereum and Solana being the two main platforms. In the past month, Circle continued to expand the issuance of USDC on Solana, with a total of 8 billion USDC minted on this platform in 2025, including a large issuance of 250 million USDC on February 18, 2025. This indicates a trend of diversifying blockchain platforms to increase the liquidity and accessibility of USDC.

- Destinations of newly issued USDC:

The majority of newly issued USDC is transferred to major exchanges, particularly Coinbase, where Circle has a strategic partnership. This indicates a growing demand for the use of USDC in trading and investing on centralized exchanges (CEX).
