TREE NEWS reports: 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.
USDC circulation falls by about 800 million in seven days to 69.2 billion
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.
