- Circle minting shows continued surge in Solana stablecoin demand.
- Boosts DeFi liquidity and trading on Solana’s low-fee network.
- Reinforces USDC’s ecosystem expansion across blockchains.
Circle minted $250 million USDC on the Solana blockchain on June 18, 2025. This marks yet another large issuance by the stablecoin issuer to bolster liquidity on Solana’s fast, cheap network.
Continued Expansion of USDC Supply
This mint adds to a broader issuance trend in 2025. In May alone, Circle issued another $250M on Solana. Throughout the year, total USDC on Solana has surged into the billions, evidencing rising demand from traders and institutions.
Why It Matters for DeFi and Users
Solana’s high throughput and low-cost transactions make it ideal for decentralized finance . Injecting $250M USDC supports:
- Increased trading volume on Solana DEXs,
- Greater capital efficiency for lending and borrowing,
- Enhanced cross-chain integration, as USDC bridges stay stocked and liquid.
This move underscores both Circle’s growing confidence in Solana and the ecosystem’s expanding use of stablecoins as a foundation for crypto activity.
