USDD hasn’t been loud about its progress but the numbers speak clearly.
Seeing circulating supply grow from roughly $260M to $1B within a year isn’t a marketing moment, it’s a usage pattern.
It reflects people repeatedly choosing the same stable asset because it continues to be useful where it counts.
What makes the trend more interesting is how momentum builds over time. The move from $500M in July to $601M by early December was steady, then the pace picked up quickly — $736M, $803M, $924M, and eventually $1B by January.
That kind of curve usually appears when confidence compounds. Liquidity improves, access becomes easier, and the asset shifts from a backup option to something actively used for payments, swaps, lending, earning, and storage.
That’s the part that stands out to me most. Growth that persists through market noise and continues upward, step by step, because real users keep coming back.
