How we manage USDC
USDC is a digital dollar backed 100% by highly liquid cash and cash-equivalent assets and is always redeemable 1:1 for US dollars.
The majority of the USDC reserve is held in the Circle Reserve Fund (USDXX), an SEC-registered 2a-7 government money market fund.
The Circle Reserve Fund can contain cash, short-dated US Treasuries and overnight US Treasury repurchase agreements with leading global banks. These are commonly used assets in money market funds because of their liquidity and stability. Daily, independent, third-party reporting on the portfolio is publicly available via BlackRock.
The remainder of the reserve is held in cash, mostly among a handful of the world's largest banks with the highest capital, liquidity and supervisory requirements in the world.
The reserve is designed to provide holders with ready liquidity, even under extremely stressed conditions.
Deep connectivity to the banking system is critical to maintaining price stability, ensuring timely redemption, and mitigating operating risks.
During the 12 months ending on October 12, 2023, Circle bridged more than $277 billion between the banking system and blockchains through minting and redeeming USDC.
We are continually strengthening our global banking infrastructure to facilitate local creation and redemption of our stablecoins, and to ensure USDC stability.
