About

What it answers, and for whom.

Stablecoin supply changes only when an issuer mints or burns tokens. This dashboard lists every USDT and USDC mint and burn on the covered chains, each with its transaction, its chain and the address that performed it. It adds them up into daily net issuance for both coins.

A mint is not always new money arriving. Tether usually mints into its own treasury and issues to customers later, so a large mint can sit unissued for a while; Circle mints when an approved customer deposits dollars and burns when one redeems. The dashboard tracks the treasury's outgoing transfers apart from the mints themselves, so both moments can be read.

Use the today page for the latest events and the history page to see whether issuance or redemptions have been winning on each chain. Each event links to its transaction and block.

Method

How it will be measured.

Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.

How receipts work →
  1. USDT mints and burns are the TetherToken Issue and Redeem events on each chain where Tether issues natively; USDC's are the FiatToken Mint and Burn events, with the minter address each names.
  2. Transfers out of Tether's treasury addresses are tracked separately, so a mint into the treasury and the later issue to customers each appear as their own event.
  3. USDC moved between chains through Circle's cross-chain transfer protocol is burned on one chain and minted on another; those pairs are matched and shown as moves, not as new issuance or redemptions.
  4. Daily net issuance is mints minus burns per coin, chain and UTC day; every event links to its transaction hash and block.

Questions

Questions people ask.

What does it mean when Tether mints USDT?

Tether creates new USDT through its contract's issue function, usually into its own treasury address. The tokens count as authorized but not issued until Tether sends them to a customer who has paid for them, which is when they enter circulation.

Does a large mint mean new money is coming into crypto?

Not by itself. A mint into an issuer's treasury can wait there for weeks, and a mint on one chain can match a burn on another when tokens move across chains. Net issuance into circulation, after those cases are separated, is the better measure.

How does USDC minting work?

Circle mints USDC when an approved customer deposits dollars and burns it when a customer redeems. Each mint and burn is an event on the USDC contract that names the minter, so issuance can be read chain by chain.

Why are some USDC burns not redemptions?

Some burns move tokens rather than retire them: Circle's cross-chain transfer protocol burns USDC on the source chain and mints the same amount on the destination. Matched pairs are shown as cross-chain moves.

Where can I see Tether treasury transactions?

The today page lists every mint, burn and treasury transfer of the latest day with its transaction hash, so each one can be opened on its chain. Each receipt names the treasury address involved and the public source for it.

Mint
Creating new tokens. For a fiat-backed stablecoin it normally means the issuer has received, or set aside, the dollars that back them.
Burn
Destroying tokens, usually when an issuer redeems them for dollars, which lowers supply.
Authorized but not issued
Tokens an issuer has minted into its own treasury as inventory but not yet sold to anyone, so they are not in circulation.
