USDe supply rose by 0.76 billion USD in September

The foundation's governance update says USDe supply rose by 0.76 billion USD during September 2026 and peaked at 5.00 billion USD on September 27, 2026. It also records 4.95 billion USD of total backing on September 30, 2026, including liquid cash, lending positions and institutional lending. These figures describe the size of the dollar-pegged stablecoin and the assets reported against it, rather than a forecast for the USDe price.

Aave review puts X Layer supply at 62.78 USDe

A separate Aave assessment dated October 12, 2026, reports 62.78 USDe on X Layer, a network deployment of USDe. It says daily supply on that layer had never exceeded 542.72 USDe, reached on January 3, 2025, and describes secondary-market liquidity there as effectively zero. The assessment also says Ethereum minting is capped at 200.00 million USDe per block and redemption at 20.00 million USDe per block, limits that apply to the aggregate and each collateral asset.

The Aave review says direct minting and redemption remain restricted to counterparties that have completed know-your-customer and know-your-business checks. This structure leaves the main supply and liquidity figures distinct from the much smaller X Layer balance.
