USDC circulation falls by about 800 million in seven days to 69.2 billion

Circle issued about 12.7 billion USDC and redeemed about 13.5 billion in the seven days to Nov. 5, shrinking circulation by roughly 800 million tokens to a total of 69.2 billion. Reserves stood at about $70.5 billion, including $36.6 billion in overnight reverse Treasury repurchase agreements, $23.3 billion in Treasuries maturing within three months, $9.9 billion in systemically important institution deposits and $800 million in other bank deposits.

AI take

The net redemption is modest against a $69 billion base, but the composition of reserves is the more telling detail: nearly $60 billion sits in overnight repos and short-dated Treasuries, keeping the backing highly liquid and rate-sensitive. A week of redemptions in a stablecoin this size speaks more to where holders are parking cash than to any stress in the peg, since reserves still exceed circulation. Whether the contraction extends into a second week, or reverses as issuance resumes, is the open question worth tracking.
