Dataset Card for USDC Transfers
This dataset contains all historical transfers of the USDC stablecoin on Ethereum mainnet up to block height 22,281,578 (April 16th, 2025).
Dataset Details
Dataset Description
This dataset contains a historical snapshot of USDC transfer events on the Ethereum blockchain starting from USDC's creation in 2018 until April 16th, 2025. USDC is a dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Circle, offering the speed, uptime, programmability, and transparency enabled by public blockchains with the stability of a dollar. USDC operates on many public blockchain networks including Ethereum and Solana.
Data is collected using the Cryo ETL, developed by Paradigm. Data is partitioned into chunks of 1M-block ranges.

Uses
This dataset is designed to help answer key questions about the adoption and usage of USDC, currently the second-largest stablecoin on Ethereum after Tether by circulating supply. By analyzing the size and frequency of transactions, as well as the number of unique daily and monthly users, researchers can gain insights into user behavior and network activity. Using the null address (0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
), one can track mints and burns to understand USDC’s supply dynamics over time.
The dataset supports a wide range of economic analyses—from measuring stablecoin velocity to identifying usage trends across DeFi protocols and web3 applications. When enriched with address labels, it can also reveal interactions between real-world entities and blockchain-native systems. Time-of-day analysis further allows for inferences about regional or geographic usage patterns.
