According to Nansen’s data journalist Martin Lee, the amount of usd coin (USDC) held on Binance has been steadily climbing this week. “Interesting to see the amount of USDC on Binance increase so much since the BUSD news,” Lee tweeted on Tuesday. Lee further detailed that Binance saw a $1.5 billion increase in USDC in the last seven days.
He also noted that he would have expected the supply of tether (USDT) to increase on Binance more than USDC, “given that you can’t trade using USDC” on Binance. On Sept. 5, 2022, Binance dropped usd coin (USDC) trading pairs and auto-converted customer balances to BUSD. Two weeks later, Wazirx followed Binance’s move, delisting usd coin (USDC) and a couple of other stablecoins to auto-convert balances to BUSD.
