2.5e8 USDC was just minted, and the total amount of USDC on the Solana chain is set to hit a new all-time high again. Circle is printing money this aggressively—could it be backed by substantial real demand? Or is it purely liquidity-filling? By 2026, it’s already nearly 70.3 billion; the number looks scary, but what matters is whether the market can absorb it. For Solana, though, increased stablecoin depth is a good thing—DeFi and payments should become more active.

Circle is making such a big move on Solana—looks like it has strong confidence in the Solana ecosystem. The cumulative total is already close to 70.3 billion, so just how much liquidity would that overflow?

USDC was minted again on Solana—250 million tokens. That’s really wild.

Just saw this data: 2.5 billion were minted 20 hours ago, and Circle’s cumulative amount on Solana is already 70.26 billion. Keep in mind that the total supply of USDC is also only a few hundred billion—Solana’s share is so high, which shows that Solana’s USDC ecosystem is truly strong.

Every time I see this kind of large-amount minting news, I can’t help thinking about the logic behind it. Circle has chosen to mint on Solana, probably because Solana’s low fees and high speed make it suitable for high-frequency trading and payments. An injection of 250 million USDC may correspond to the needs of a large institution or a market maker. With a cumulative total of 70.26 billion in 2026, if this figure is true, it would mean a very large average daily minting amount—could Solana’s on-chain USDC circulation already be higher than Ethereum’s? I should check the data. But in any case, this is a positive signal for Solana’s price and ecosystem.

Having money means being arbitrary—$250 million can be printed just like that.
