Circle USDC stablecoin redemptions rise to about $6 billion

03/22 06:16

According to Bloomberg, customers are continuing to redeem Circle’s USD Coin stablecoin at a greater pace than buying it even after the firm recouped deposits that were caught up in the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. On March 20, users redeemed $738.6 million USDC, while Circle issued less than $9 million of the token on the Ethereum blockchain, according to researcher CryptoCompare. The day before, customers redeemed $23.3 million as Circle issued $231 million on the network, data shows. Since the beginning of March, Circle burned about $12.2 billion USDC, while issuing about half as much on Ethereum, CryptoCompare found. Since March 13, investors redeemed $5.76 billion of USDC on Ethereum, while Circle has issued about $874 million of the stablecoin, per CryptoCompare data. USDC dumping is also visible on decentralized-finance apps, which let users trade, lend and borrow coins without intermediaries. On exchange known as Curve, its so-called 3pool continues to be out of balance. The liquidity pool is supposed to hold roughly equal balances of USDC, USDT and DAI stablecoins. But since Circle’s troubles began, USDT’s portion has continued to be tiny, currently standing at about 9%, meaning that Tether is in demand while traders are exiting the other stablecoins. “The recent concerns around the closure of banking partners looks to have led users to USDT and other stablecoins over USDC,” said Jacob Joseph, an analyst at CryptoCompare.
