- Circle burns 51M USDC on Solana; broader treasury strategy.
- USDC circulating supply now ~76.26 billion tokens.
- Volatile impacts on Solana, Ethereum ecosystems observed.
Circle’s USDC Treasury burned 51 million USDC tokens on Solana, according to Whale Alert, as part of broader treasury management amid notable activity on both Solana and Ethereum.
This action impacts USDC’s circulating supply and reflects ongoing treasury rebalancing efforts, potentially influencing decentralized finance ecosystems on both blockchains.
The USDC Treasury, managed by Circle, recently carried out a significant burn of 51 million USDC tokens on the Solana blockchain. This burn is part of a broader strategy involving previous actions on the Ethereum network.
The key players in this move include the USDC Treasury and on-chain monitoring service Whale Alert, which reported the burn. “USDC Treasury burned over 51 million USDC on the Solana chain.” source
The burn has led to shifts in the circulating supply of USDC, now approximately 76.26 billion tokens. This indicates notable network rebalancing, primarily affecting Solana and Ethereum’s ecosystems.
This treasury activity has not directly impacted ETH, BTC, or other altcoins but underscores supply alignment efforts. No decentralized finance (DeFi) liquidity or staking impacts were detailed.
Recent incidents show Circle’s tendencies for cross-chain swaps, reflecting strategic treasury decisions. A previous 98.5 million USDC was swapped similarly, impacting network liquidity.
Potential implications may include enhanced network flexibility and liquidity management, possibly resulting in tighter market conditions. This marks a consistent pattern in transactional shifts between Solana and Ethereum.
