Circle wants USDC to be 100% backed by cash and US Treasuries
Circle, the issuer of the world's second-largest stablecoin USDC, has announced plans to be 100% backed by cash and short-term US Treasuries by September.
USDC reserves will consist of cash and short-dated U.S. Treasury
Coinbase came under fire in July for its claim that each USDC was "backed by a dollar in a bank account." But it appears the company is trying to make up for its mistake. In September, USDC reserves will consist of cash and short-dated U.S. Treasury, Choi pointed out in a Twitter thread Monday.Digital payments company Circle, which partnered with Coinbase to develop USDC, revealed in July that the stablecoin's reserves have consisted of commercial paper and corporate bonds since May. These assets are vulnerable to losses and less liquid than the US dollar, which could cause problems if a large wave of customers tried to exchange their USDC for fiat currency.
Circle has ambitious plans for the future
Circle has many ambitious plans. In July, it announced plans to go public through a special purpose acquisition corporation (SPAC), Concord Acquisition Corp. In a deal that would value Circle at $4.5 billion.Circle also announced that it wants to become a "full-reserve national commercial bank" regulated by the U.S. Federal Reserve, U.S. Treasury Dept Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
