On 3 October 2026 its circulating supply was $4.8B, up 0.4% over 30 days, which places it 5th of 48 stablecoins tracked here. DefiLlama prices it at $0.9999. Supply is what the issuer has outstanding. It is not a measure of reserves, and a steady supply figure says nothing on its own about whether the peg is holding.
