USDC (USDC) had an adjusted onchain circulating supply of 69.62 billion USD on October 12, 2026, according to Allium. The USDC price stands at 1.0009 USD as of October 20, 2026, according to Investing.com, with a market capitalization of 72.43 billion USD and a rank of 6.

Adjusted supply reached 69.62 billion USD

Allium's figure separates native USDC from bridged representations, which are tokens issued on another blockchain against collateral locked elsewhere. The report said the adjusted total was 69.62 billion USD on October 12, 2026, while the wider stablecoin market had an adjusted supply of 311.75 billion USD. It also reported that USDC and USDT together represented 83.3 percent of that adjusted market. The methodology matters because adding native and bridged representations without labeling them can count the same underlying dollar more than once, according to Allium.

EU supervision starts November 12, 2026

The European Banking Authority classified USDC as a significant e-money token on October 14, 2026, and direct supervision of its European Union issuer is scheduled to begin on November 12, 2026, according to TokenPost. The designation covers reserve assets, own funds, liquidity requirements, and recovery and redemption plans. TokenPost reported that the existing EU framework requires a 60 percent bank-deposit minimum for significant issuers, compared with 30 percent for other e-money tokens. Circle requested a different minimum liquidity standard on October 1, 2026, but the requested change had not taken effect in the report.

Separately, Tereina and Circle announced on October 7, 2026, that USDC and EURC would be integrated into Tereina's payments infrastructure, starting with SAP Cloud ERP. The companies said the service would let eligible businesses send and receive stablecoin payments within existing applications, according to Circle.
