TREE NEWS update: Circle minted 250 million USDC on Solana at 20:21 Beijing time, adding to the stablecoin issuer’s supply on the network. The new issuance brings the total minted on Solana higher, with the transaction confirmed on-chain. USDC remains one of the largest dollar-pegged stablecoins by circulating supply.
Circle Mints 250M USDC on Solana
A single large mint is routine for a major issuer, but the choice of Solana over other networks is the signal worth noting: it reflects where Circle sees demand for fast, low-cost dollar settlement, and it can precede real trading or payment activity on that chain rather than just sitting idle. For Solana's DeFi and RWA venues, deeper native USDC supply can reduce reliance on bridged or wrapped dollars. Whether this issuance is absorbed into active on-chain use or largely parked is the open question.
