$USDC Quick Take

- **Supply & growth**: USDC added ~$4.5B in net inflows YTD, pushing circulating supply to ~$78.7B (price steady at $1.00). It’s leading 2026 stablecoin growth and overtook USDT in adjusted transfer volume in Feb ($1.8T).

- **Utility expansion**: Circle launched native USDC + CCTP on Injective (Mar 17) for seamless cross-chain liquidity, and is pushing the **Arc blockchain** in 2026 to deepen institutional use.

- **Regulatory overhang**: Draft **Clarity Act** threatens stablecoin reward programs; Circle (CRCL) and Coinbase (COIN) stocks fell ~18% on the news (Mar 24). Still, Circle’s compliance-first infra keeps USDC favored for institutions.
