USD Coin (USDC) was the most-used stablecoin for AI-agent payments over a 30-day period across Base and other crypto networks, surpassing other stablecoins in this specific use case. Payments routed through networks like Algorand, Solana, Polygon, and Canton were primarily made in USDC.

USDC's circulating supply has stayed between $70 billion and $80 billion in the past year, relevant to regulatory criteria such as the EU's MiCA framework for significant e-money tokens.
