1/ With so many firms facing fundamental challenges and risks, Circle has amped up our own information about Circle and USDC. Sharing it here so it's fresh for people to review. We started publishing these in the days following the Terra collapse. https://t.co/SYNpwYxUif

It is Understandable Why Some Users Would be Paranoid.
Mr. Allaire further explained that he understood why crypto users were somewhat paranoid about the state of USDC, given the crypto events of the past few weeks involving several projects collapsing under the weight of the bear market. He explained.
It’s understandable why some users would be paranoid given the history of hucksters in crypto. We have always tried to hold ourselves to the highest standards afford to us. That’s enabled us to work with regulators, top-tier assurance firms, and leading FIs.
There Could Be Some Confusion Between USDC Reserves and the USDC used in Lending Markets.
Furthermore, Circle’s CEO hinted that USDC’s reserves are at the center of the rumors of the stablecoin collapsing. He explained that there is a difference between USDC’s reserves and the actual USDC used in lending markets. He reiterated that USDC’s reserves are regulated, examined by regulators, and transparent.
