According to data from blockchain analytics firm Glassnode, USDC one of the most commonly utilized stablecoins has experienced an increase in its supply within smart contracts.

This positive development starkly contrasts the coins recent struggles and marks a notable deviation from other stablecoins as well.

The recent increase in USDC supply held in smart contracts becomes even more significant when compared to USDT. According to data from Glassnode, the percentage of USDT supply in smart contracts as of this writing was 14.0%, with the highest percentage this year reaching only 14.7%. It indicated that USDC was more extensively being utilized for smart contract-related transactions.

Additionally, as per CoinMarketCap, USDCs market capitalization was over $33 billion. Thus, positioning it as the fifth-largest cryptocurrency at press time.

In another notable development, MakerDAO recently passed a proposal affirming USDC as its primary reserve. The move indicated a vote of confidence in the stablecoin.
