Circle Pulls in $2.7 Billion in Annual Revenue as USDC Supply Rises

The surge in Circle revenue over the past year highlights not only a successful Q4 but also overall growth. According to the report, the circulating supply of its USDC stablecoin also increased by 72% within that period.

USDC finished 2025 with a circulating supply of $75.3 billion. This is a sizable increase from the less than $44 billion as at the end of 2024. However, the supply has now dropped in 2026, with DefiLlama data showing that it is currently at $74.97 billion.

The stablecoin also saw a significant increase in its on-chain volume in 2025. On-chain transaction volume reached $11.9 trillion, a 247% year-over-year increase. With this, USDC is nearing 50% of stablecoin transaction volume.

Circle CEO Says Global Economic System is Set for Transformation

Meanwhile, Allaire stated that Circle’s performance in Q4 reflects the transformation of the global economic system. He believes the world has reached a turning point. The Internet will no longer be just for sharing information. It is set to become the foundation for moving economic value.

He sees blockchain, stablecoins, and AI as deeply connected. Together, they will shape a new kind of economy. This system will be native to the Internet and global in scope.

He said:

“We are entering a world where, in my view, tens or even hundreds of billions of AI agents will interact and perform economic functions over the internet. They’ll need programmable digital dollars and open infrastructure to do it. That’s exactly what we’ve been building at Circle.”

Interestingly, Allaire highlighted Circle’s other products apart from USDC, noting they are all part of the building blocks for the future. The company reported that its public testnet, Arc, has been highly active.

Between October 28, 2025, and February 2, 2026, it processed more than 166 million transactions. This highlights strong early adoption and usage momentum.

Circle highlighted the rapid growth of its Circle Payments Network (CPN). In just 30 days, it onboarded 55 financial institutions. During that same period, it recorded an annualized transaction volume of $5.7 billion.

Circle’s Euro stablecoin, EURC, also grew 284% YoY to €310 million. At the same time, the company obtained a conditional national trust bank charter in the US.
