- The **lowest-volume day** came at month-end on **November 30**, at **$5.76 billion**.

**Analysis:**

## **Peg Stability**

- **Average closing price:** 0.999873
- **Largest upward deviation:** 1.003325
- **Largest downward deviation:** 0.998669

**Analysis:**  
These minimal swings reflect USDC’s traditional strength in maintaining a reliable peg for institutional payment flows, corporate treasury routing, and professional trading desks. The peg performance reinforces USDC’s position as the most regulation-aligned stablecoin on the market.

## **Liquidity & Turnover**

USDC maintained a **$75.37B average market cap**, with relatively modest turnover compared to USDT.

- Average daily turnover: **\~0.20–0.45× market cap**
- Peak daily turnover: **\~0.41×**
- Lowest turnover day: **\~0.08×**

**Analysis:**  
USDC’s lower turnover rate reflects its use case: less as a speculative trading instrument and more as a settlement, payments, and treasury tool. High-quality liquidity persists across major exchanges and DeFi ecosystems, but velocity remains lower than USDT due to differing user profiles and regulatory oversight.

## **Intraday Volatility**

The intraday price range for USDC reached a maximum spread of:

- **High:** 1.003325
- **Low:** 0.998669
- **Intraday delta:** \~46 basis points at maximum volatility

**Analysis:**  
These mild fluctuations typically occur during liquidity fragmentation or brief imbalances between centralized exchanges and on-chain liquidity. None of the deviations signal systemic peg risk — consistent with USDC’s strong off-chain banking integrations and real-time attestations.

---

## **Key Observations**

**Strong institutional peg behavior:**  
USDC maintained one of the tightest peg profiles among all fiat-backed stablecoins, reinforcing its reputation for reliability.

**Consistent Q4 market share:**  
Despite competition from USDT, PYUSD, and FDUSD, USDC held steady usage in key markets such as Coinbase, Circle apps, and institutional settlement.

**Lower but stable trading volume:**  
USDC processed **$465B**, reflecting consistent daily demand but far lower velocity than USDT — as expected given its institutional use case.

**Market cap stability:**  
The \~$75B average market cap signals stable issuance and redemptions throughout the month.

---

## **Conclusion**

November 2025 further solidified USDC’s position as the preferred stablecoin for institutional-grade payments, treasury management, and compliant settlement. With **$465 billion** processed and one of the cleanest peg profiles in the sector, USDC continues to be the trusted alternative to USDT for regulated markets.
