Gate.io News: In a long post, Circle CEO said that stablecoin networks are long-term platform-style businesses, and USDC’s network effects are difficult to replicate. USDC has built strong competitiveness through a multi-layer ecosystem, liquidity, and compliance frameworks, and has been integrated by tens of thousands of services. Artemis data shows that in the first quarter of 2026, USDC’s on-chain transactions were nearly $30 trillion, accounting for 80%, while other dollar-pegged stablecoins have a very low share. Regarding OUSD’s free minting/redemption and revenue sharing, Circle said market realities are complex and require contract mechanisms, because handling an alliance model through contracts is less efficient; for win-win cooperation, it needs to be smaller and tighter.

In the long post from Circle, there are all sorts of digs at OUSD’s model hidden between the lines—“low alliance efficiency” is said in a particularly savage way.

Compliance is indeed the moat of USDC, but can the fees be further reduced?
