Circle has issued an additional 1 billion USDC on the Solana network, pushing the total USDC issued in 2026 to 4.25 billion. This data reflects the market's continued strong demand for stablecoin liquidity, especially on high-throughput public chains like Solana.
From an on-chain ecosystem perspective, Solana has become an important hub for stablecoin applications due to its high speed and low cost. Circle's ongoing increase in USDC supply on this chain not only confirms users' demand for convenient payments and DeFi transaction settlements but also indicates that mainstream stablecoin issuers are optimistic about the prospects of high-performance public chains. This deep integration of stablecoins with high-performance chains is becoming a major trend in the cryptocurrency market in 2026.

This round of SOL really has some potential. Is the demand for stablecoins so strong with 1 billion U invested?

Why is Solana so popular? Circle is investing 1 billion USDC, it seems no one can really compete with it.
