taken place this year.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>To elaborate, earlier in April, Circle minted a record 3.25 billion USDC on Solana in <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/circle-mints-500-million-usdc-solana-weekly-issuance\/\">seperate tranches<\/a>, its biggest weekly issuance of 2026 at the time, and followed that with a 1.25 billion USDC mint on Solana in the week of August 20, including 250 million in a single day.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, Solana\u2019s share of total USDC supply has climbed past 10% in 2026, even as Ethereum still holds roughly two-thirds of USDC in circulation.<\/p>\n<h2>Closing the Gap With Tether, Slowly<\/h2>\n<p>USDC\u2019s circulating supply stood at about $74 billion, still less than half of Tether\u2019s $183.1 billion market cap, with the two stablecoins together <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/learning-insights\/stablecoin-depegs-explained\/\">accounting for around 83% of a

carried roughly 70% of adjusted stablecoin transaction volume in the first half of the year despite running on a fraction of the supply.<\/p>\n<h2>Timing Is Everything<\/h2>\n<p>The latest print comes just as Circle has taken on a new role as technical deployer for USDC on Hyperliquid, the derivatives exchange that <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WuBlockchain\/status\/2092504986022502571\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">activated its \u201cAQAv2\u201d upgrade<\/a> today to route reserve yield on roughly $5 billion of USDC sitting on its platform into buybacks of its HYPE token.<\/p>\n<p>Coinbase became Hyperliquid\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/coinbase-wins-usdc-treasury-deployer-seat-on-hyperliquid-circle-handles-cross-chain-infrastructure\/\">official USDC treasury deployer<\/a> and Circle its technical infrastructure partner back in May, after Hyperliquid\u2019s own USDH stablecoin was set to sunset in favor of USDC. That arrangement gives Circle a direct incentive to keep fresh USDC flowing toward platforms like Hyperliquid, since every dollar parked there as reserve now generates yield Circle\u2019s partners can point to as a growth story, not just a balance-sheet number.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, Circle\u2019s next earnings disclosures should show whether this week\u2019s issuance was a one-off spike or not. Additionally, analysts will also be watching whether Tether\u2019s larger reserve base and its own recent surge in new holders forces Circle to compete more aggressively on distribution deals like the Hyperliquid arrangement, rather than supply alone, to keep closing the gap between the two stablecoins.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose my-3 lg:my-4\"><a aria-label=\"Read Now: Prediction Markets Explode, Circle Has Hot Q2, and More \u2013 Weekly Recap\" class=\"block overflow-hidden rounded-lg !bg-[#E8EDFA] p-[9px] no-underline focus-visible:outline-none focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-[#4169E1] focus-visible:ring-offset-2 flex flex-col md:hidden\" href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/prediction-markets-explode-circle-has-hot-q2-and-more-weekly-recap\/\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"relative aspect-video w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[15px]\"><img alt=\"Prediction Markets Explode, Circle Has Hot Q2, and More \u2013 Weekly Recap\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"object-cover\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) calc(100vw - 18px)\" srcset=\"\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F08%2Fprediction-markets-explode-circle-has-hot-q2-and-more--weekly-recap-760x428.jpg&amp;w=32&amp;q=75 32w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F08%2Fprediction-markets-explode-circle-has-hot-q2-and-more--weekly-recap-760x428.jpg&amp;w=48&amp;q=75 48w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F08%2Fprediction-markets-explode-circle-has-hot-q2-and-more--weekly-recap-760x428.jpg&amp;w=64&amp;q=75 64w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F08%2Fprediction-markets-explode-circle-has-hot-q2-and-more--weekly-recap-760x428.jpg&amp;w=128&amp;q=75 128w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F08%2Fprediction-markets-explode-circle-has-hot-q2-and-more--weekly-recap-760x428.jpg&amp;w=256&amp;q=75 256w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F08%2Fprediction-markets-explode-circle-has-hot-q2-and-more--weekly-recap-760x428.jpg&amp;w=384&amp;q=75 384w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F08%2Fprediction-markets-explode-circle-has-hot-q2-and-more--weekly-recap-760x428.jpg&amp;w=640&amp;q=75 640w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F08%2Fprediction-markets-explode-circle-has-hot-q2-and-more--weekly-recap-760x428.jpg&amp;w=828&amp;q=75 828w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F08%2Fprediction-markets-explode-circle-has-hot-q2-and-more--weekly-recap-760x428.jpg&amp;w=1080&amp;q=75 1080w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F08%2Fprediction-markets-explode-circle-has-hot-q2-and-more--weekly-recap-760x428.jpg&amp;w=1200&amp;q=75 1200w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F08%2Fprediction-markets-explode-circle-has-hot-q2-and-more--weekly-recap-760x428.jpg&amp;w=1920&amp;q=75 1920w\" src=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.news.bitcoin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F08%2Fprediction-markets-explode-circle-has-hot-q2-and-more--weekly-recap-760x428.jpg&amp;w=1920&amp;q=75\"\/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"absolute inset-x-0 bottom-0 m-0 p-3 text-xl font-bold capitalize leading-[1.17] tracking-[-0.4px] !text-white\">Prediction Markets Explode, Circle Has Hot Q2, and More \u2013 Weekly Recap<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex flex-col gap-2.5 px-1 pt-2.5 pb-1\">\n<p class=\"m-0 line-clamp-2 text-xs leading-[1.3] !text-[#67656E]\">This week\u2019s stories highlighted regulatory delays, security concerns, institutional growth, and market experimentation.
