Circle has minted another 250 million $USDC on Solana. This brings the total minted in the last seven days to 1 billion $USDC, according to Spot On Chain. A surge has been witnessed in USDC minting on Solana in 2025.
Circle Mints 8B $USDC on Solana in 2025
Since the beginning of 2025, Circle has minted $USDC on Solana totalling 8 billion. In the meantime, in January, it issued 6 billion. In February, it added another 2 billion. This is a steady increase, which in turn shows the rise in demand for $USDC on the Solana blockchain.
Stablecoin transactions are being processed on Solana. The reason it is so popular is that it is fast and low fees. Due to this, more developers and investors are employing $USDC on Solana as a means of funding, trading and payments.
The overall crypto market is meanwhile seeing increased activity with regards to stablecoin. A number of investors have been moving funds into $USDC, away from market volatility. The results of this trend appear to indicate that stablecoins are going to continue to be important in the digital economy.
However, Circle’s own aggressive minting strategy also draws a question. Does the company intend to keep up this pace in the coming months? More mints may result if demand continues to be strong. However, it might also add more liquidity and will help develop more DeFi innovation on Solana.
$USDC Surge May Boost Solana Trading Volume
The increase in $USDC supply could also have some impact on Solana’s trading volume. Higher liquidity usually means higher activity on decentralized exchanges as well as lending platforms. Such a thing would give an extra push to Solana’s position as one of the best blockchains for stablecoins.
Ultimately, Circle latest minting, as reported by Spot On Chain, serves as proof of $USDC’s increasing importance on Solana for now.
