Attestation by Deloitte
Circulating supply is the number of USDC tokens in circulation. It is distinct from their dollar market value and from the reserve figures in a dated attestation.
The countries figure is a dated reference estimate, not a live count. Access varies by service and jurisdiction.
How much USDC changes hands each day. Higher volume means better liquidity and easier buying, selling, and transferring.
Growing supply signals more people and businesses choosing USDC. The market cap chart above shows how adoption has changed over time.
USDC supply by blockchain. Each network offers different trade-offs between cost, speed, and ecosystem.
