According to @OnchainLens, Circle has minted another 500 million USDC on Solana, bringing total USDC minted on Solana in 2025 to 55 billion USDC, indicating sustained issuance on the network for the year to date, source: @OnchainLens. Based on these figures, traders may track Solana DeFi venues and SOL USDC pairs for potential liquidity and spread dynamics while confirming net supply versus burns before making decisions, source: @OnchainLens. The report does not include redemption data or transaction-level details, so large orders should be cross-checked against on-chain dashboards to validate effective circulating liquidity, source: @OnchainLens.

According to @OnchainLens, Winslow Strong (@winslow_strong) deposited 1,900 ETH (~$5.59M), 307 cbBTC (~$26.93M), and $14.7M USDC into Coinbase 8 hours ago from address 0xa0f75491720835b36edc92d06ddc468d201e9b73, with data sourced via @nansen_ai. According to @OnchainLens, the reported deposits total approximately $47.22M based on the cited values, and traders can monitor Coinbase spot liquidity and execution activity in ETH (ETH) and cbBTC in light of these on-exchange inflows (source: @OnchainLens; data: @nansen_ai).

According to the source, global stablecoin supply reached $314 billion in 2025, but market cap alone can obscure which assets and networks control actual trading liquidity and flows. On centralized exchanges, USDT leads by trading volume and number of quote pairs—especially on offshore venues—resulting in tighter spreads and deeper order books versus USDC, according to Kaiko’s 2024 market structure reports. On-chain activity is segmented: USDT transfers are concentrated on Tron by transaction count and volume, while USDC settlement skews toward Ethereum and select Layer-2s, according to Chainalysis 2024 data and Circle’s published network statistics. For trading signals, rising stablecoin balances on exchanges and a lower Stablecoin Supply Ratio have historically coincided with greater crypto buying power, according to Glassnode metrics.

According to the source, a list of the seven fastest-moving stablecoins in 2025 is drawing trader attention; before taking positions, confirm 30–90 day changes in circulating supply via issuer transparency pages and independent attestations to validate momentum signals (sources: Tether Transparency; Circle USDC monthly reserve reports; First Digital FDUSD attestations; PayPal PYUSD transparency; Paxos attestations). Evaluate on-exchange depth, spreads, and share of aggregated crypto volumes to gauge potential liquidity spillovers into BTC and ETH during rotations (sources: Binance public market depth and volumes; Coinbase market data; Kaiko liquidity metrics). Monitor depeg risk using on-chain price oracles and documented stress-event histories to set stop-loss and sizing rules (sources: Chainlink price feeds; Circle USDC status updates from past de-peg events). Compare carry opportunities and funding costs across DeFi and T-bill–backed programs to avoid negative basis trades when chasing stablecoin yield (sources: MakerDAO DSR; Aave stablecoin supply APY dashboards; U.S. Treasury 3-month T-bill yields).

According to Celo, more than 56% of all transaction fees on the Celo network in 2025 were paid in stablecoins such as USDT, USDC, and USDm, enabled by Celo's fee abstraction feature (source: Celo on X, Dec 25, 2025). According to Celo, the update also clarifies that USDm is the new name for the former cUSD, indicating stablecoin-denominated gas was the majority settlement method on Celo in 2025, a key datapoint for on-chain fee and activity analysis (source: Celo on X, Dec 25, 2025).
