USDC stablecoin: Circle abandons Tron blockchain as part of its risk management strategy and considers a proprietary network
Circle, a well-known issuer of cryptographic stablecoins, announced this morning that it will immediately stop supporting its USDC coin within the Tron blockchain, citing a group adjustment as part of its risk strategy.
Users holding USDC on the Tron network can perform the official redeem until February 2025 to redeem fiat currency, or use a variety of intermediary services available on CEX or in DeFi.
The choice of the issuer suggests a likely expansion of the company in the field, which could be inclined to launch its own native network in the future.
In the coming months, Circle could also abandon other blockchains if it deems it appropriate.
Analysis of the circulating supply of USDC: Tron becomes increasingly central for USDT
Beyond the strategic reasons in terms of corporate risk management, Circle’s decision to abandon support for USDC on Tron comes after a decidedly dark year in terms of stablecoin growth on the mentioned blockchain.
At the time of writing on Tron, there are approximately 313.5 million USDC, which is just over 1% of the circulating supply of the currency.
Exactly one year ago, in February 2023, on Justin Sun’s network we could count a total of 1.4 billion of the same stablecoin. In total, approximately 1.086 billion dollars were lost along the way, resulting in an overall decrease of 77%
