Circle 的 USDC 稳定币流通供应量超过 50B 美元，但仍低于 ATH

Circle 的美元硬币（USDC）实现了一个重要的里程碑，其流通量三年来首次超过 500 亿美元。

Stablecoin issuer Circle Technologies’ USD Coin (USDC) has reached a new milestone with its circulating supply surpassing $50 billion for the first time in three years.

稳定币发行商 Circle Technologies 的美元硬币 (USDC) 达到了一个新的里程碑，其流通量三年来首次超过 500 亿美元。

According to data from DeFiLlama, USDC's supply reached approximately $51 billion on Jan. 22, showing a remarkable recovery from its 2023 low of less than $24 billion.

根据 DeFiLlama 的数据，1 月 22 日，USDC 的供应量达到约 510 亿美元，较 2023 年不足 240 亿美元的低点显着复苏。

This marks a significant achievement for the stablecoin, which has seen its supply grow rapidly since its launch in 2018. However, USDC's circulating supply is still about 10% lower than its all-time high of $55.9 billion, which was recorded in mid-2022.

这标志着稳定币的一项重大成就，自 2018 年推出以来，稳定币的供应量迅速增长。然而，USDC 的流通供应量仍比 2022 年中期创下的 559 亿美元的历史高点低约 10% 。

notably, the distribution of USDC across blockchain networks has also undergone significant changes over the past three years.

值得注意的是，过去三年中 USDC 在区块链网络上的分布也发生了重大变化。

While Ethereum still plays a major role, its share of USDC's supply has decreased from 85% to 61%. In contrast, Solana's share has increased to 16% from less than 3%.

虽然以太坊仍然发挥着重要作用，但其在 USDC 供应量中的份额已从 85% 下降至 61%。相比之下，Solana 的份额从不到 3% 增加到了 16%。

This shift in distribution can be attributed to traders' preference for Solana's lower transaction costs, especially for speculative trades involving memecoins and AI-related tokens.

这种分布的转变可以归因于交易者对 Solana 较低交易成本的偏好，尤其是涉及 memecoin 和 AI 相关代币的投机交易。

Moreover, the launch of new blockchain platforms, such as the Coinbase-backed Base, an Ethereum layer-2 network solution, and Layer 1 networks like Hyperliquid, have also contributed to this trend.

此外，新区块链平台的推出，例如 Coinbase 支持的 Base、以太坊第 2 层网络解决方案以及 Hyperliquid 等第 1 层网络，也推动了这一趋势。

These platforms offer faster and more cost-efficient alternatives, catering to users' demands for efficient trading solutions.

这些平台提供更快、更具成本效益的替代方案，满足用户对高效交易解决方案的需求。
