The story was initiated from the Twitter thread below by crypto community member @CryptoInsider23, who cautioned that the Circle has been losing money to pump USDC.<\/p>\n<p>How it starts: Circle loses money to pump USDC market cap. Circle pays the higher rate of what Signature and Silvergate are normally making on cash deposit. For this arrangement Signature converts every Dollar from all customers into USDC.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Geralt Davidson (@CryptoInsider23) June 29, 2022<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Circle is Losing Money As it Continuously Pays High Interest.<\/h2>\n<p>According to the analysis of @CryptoInsider23, Circle has already lost $500 million in the first quarter of 2022 and is on track to losing a total of $1.5 billion in the year. @CryptoInsider23 adds that Circle continues to pay high-interest rates of 5% to an unnamed bank. This sole reason is why Circle has been raising funding for the last few years.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Circle&rsquo;s USDC reserves are being lent out by the unnamed bank, further straining its operations. The stablecoin company allegedly also uses an offshore Bermuda company to provide a suitable lending facility to avoid the reach of US regulators.<\/p>\n<h2>Circle Has Exposure to Genesis Trading, Three Arrows Capital, BlockFi, and Celsius Network.<\/h2>\n<p>Furthermore, @CryptoInsider23 points out that USDC had exposure to several crypto firms currently facing financial woes. He explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The shady part: USDC is now lent to high-risk lenders. Customers of these loans include Genesis, BlockFi, Celsius, Galaxy, Alameda and 3AC. It&rsquo;s a list of nearly every borrower that is blowing up LMFAO!!<\/p>\n<p>The size of the hole among all lenders, exchanges and liquidity providers has been counted in the $3 to $5 billion range. You can see USDC and Signature are at risk of a Bank Run since lenders cannot return billions and billions of USDC!!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Do Not Believe The Rumors that Circle&rsquo;s USDC is Collapsing &ndash; WuBlockchain.<\/h2>\n<p>However, the Colin Wu of WuBlockchain has since shared his analysis of the potential collapse of Circle&rsquo;s USDC. According to his research, the rumors should be dismissed completely. He explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>All in all, given the strict regulation of stablecoins and Circle&rsquo;s traditionally cautious approach to compliance, rumors of a collapse should not be believed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/rumors-of-circles-usdc-collapsing-should-not-be-believed-crypto-analyst\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary: There has been a rumor circulating<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":159606,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Rumors of Circle&#039;s USDC Collapsing Should Not be Believed - Crypto Analyst - Pre Coin News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/altcoins\/rumors-of-circles-usdc-collapsing-should-not-be-believed-crypto-analyst\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Rumors of Circle&#039;s USDC Collapsing Should Not be Believed - Crypto Analyst - Pre Coin News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Summary: There has been a rumor circulating\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/altcoins\/rumors-of-circles-usdc-collapsing-should-not-be-believed-crypto-analyst\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Pre Coin News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-07-01T19:03:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"mediabest\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Rumors-of-Circles-USDC-Collapsing-Should-Not-be-Believed-Crypto-Analyst-.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"mediabest\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/altcoins\/rumors-of-circles-usdc-collapsing-should-not-be-believed-crypto-analyst\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/altcoins\/rumors-of-circles-usdc-collapsing-should-not-be-believed-crypto-analyst\/\",\"name\":\"Rumors of Circle's USDC Collapsing Should Not be Believed - Crypto Analyst - Pre Coin News\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-07-01T19:03:27+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-07-01T19:03:27+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/#\/schema\/person\/ad0e9920e03d3b41c7ad02a18375d76a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/altcoins\/rumors-of-circles-usdc-collapsing-should-not-be-believed-crypto-analyst\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/altcoins\/rumors-of-circles-usdc-collapsing-should-not-be-believed-crypto-analyst\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/altcoins\/rumors-of-circles-usdc-collapsing-should-not-be-believed-crypto-analyst\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Altcoins\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/precoinnews.com\/category\/altcoins\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Rumors of Circle&#8217;s USDC Collapsing Should Not be Believed &#8211;
